Luis Suárez

I'm so glad he is finally back.

It's almost like signing a world class player in January's transfer window.

I put that in the January Transfer/which Players thread.

Because it is, as we say...like having a new player come in, one you already know is brilliant, and settled too.

Hamman on Suarez,"He's an exceptional talent. He's great to watch & easy on the eye.The break may work in L'pools favour & freshen him up".

[Vermilion]

It's going to be a huge test for him though, no good him coming back and then getting himself sent off and another 3 match ban.

His absolute hunger and will to win is a huge assett, it can also though be a big negative if unable to control that hunger and strong will, especially in situations of isolated pressure, he does of course have the support of us fans and his team mates and club; but he'll be the one singled out for some vile abuse, and no little amount of winding up by opposition players.

Here's hoping our little magician can keep his counsel, and just play football.

Answer them with goals and great play.

[Mostar]

Amount of energy he'll be able to project today should be contagious and I hope it rubs off on our other players.

He is made for the game like today and I expect him to be a difference maker.

Suarez really did need a break. He looked tired and 100% the Evra saga was weighing heavy. Should be interesting firstly to see if he starts & secondly how fresh he looks? Hopefully that enthusiasm and energy is back!

The game against United is going to be some pot boiler, if he can get through that he can get through anything.

I think we might see him come on 2nd half, could be pretty handy if Spurs have been worked hard as he'll be bang up for it.

Hope he starts obviously but just think we'll see him come on this first game back.

When Suarez first joined us, was it off the back of an 8 game ban?

7 game ban.

[cream]

7 game ban.

Anyway, he was freaking awesome last season, same again please.

[McDermotX]

Fancy him scoring tonight whether starting or off the bench.

[Pablo]

He looked understandably rusty tonight to be honest.

His frustration boiled over at the end, but again I think it's understandable given all he's been through.

Still, he's back

[Chris]

Yeah was defo a bit rusty. Brighton and Cardiff are coming at the perfect time really, just got to get this horrible **** out of the way on Saturday and he should be 100% for the rest of the league games.

[Pablo]

This might sound nuts but I'd be tempted to leave him on the bench from the start on Saturday too.

[RichC]

nope, I think there's a good call for that.
