Suarez & Sturridge Partnership

[JohnDoe]

I'm one of Henderson's biggest advocates but something has to give. Gerrard and Lucas are undroppable for Rodgers, this is my prediction anyway.

We can move into a back four and play the same midfield we started the season with: Henderson/Gerrard/Lucas/Coutinho. It's a big dilemma for Rodgers.

[RichC]

I'll be surprised if he changes too much for the Arsenal game, having 3 CBs will help with Arsenals attacking options as will having the legs of Henderson in midfield. If we can get on top of them in midfield then we've got the players to really hurt them.

It will be interesting to see what Rodgers does

[el matador]

We looked very good yesterday so i doubt anything will change unless its forced by injuries.

When Lucas and Henderson played side by side we doninated the midfield. When Lucas sat there by himself we started to lose it because there were times when both Gerrard and Henderson were behind the ball.

For all the progress we have made there is still a long way to go. But When you've got Suarez and on the pitch anything can happen.

[Robbie-9-Fowler]

I think we'll see Gerrard/Lucas/Henderson against the big sides from now on and teams that are strong in midfield like West Brom. Coutinho hasn't really done much this season when he has played so he shouldn't automatically walk back into the side, even if we can't wait to see him behind Suarez and Sturridge

[Vermilion]

Give em both games, so long as Cout comes back and is immediatley on the form he was when he got injured, then i see no reason why BR can't play a midfield he feels suits/hurts our opponent best tactically.

If they are all in this form, then it should be nae bother.

No way Coutinho starts next Saturday for me but I think we'll see Coutinho in for Hendo the game after. But we're getting the bodies in now where we can actually rotate players once again.

[RichC]

I think we might be getting to a situation where we'll be able to pick players based on requirements. For me against the likes of Arsenal, Henderson needs to start and being played in the same way as this weekend.

I can't actually remember the last time we had options up top I mean when did we last have two top class forwards and then have the likes of Coutinho & Moses to come in and offer support to the player(s) up top?

It's pleasing that Sturridge is hellbent getting on the scoresheet even when Suarez is having a worldy. A lot of strikers would just shrink into their shell but Sturridge was determined to get in on the action. In fact you can argue Sturridge had a better second half that Suarez and for me Sturridge's goal was the pick of the bunch.

[RichC]

Sturridge's goal was superb as well as that shot that smashed against the bar, keeper was nowhere near it.

I've been so impressed with him since he arrived and he looks like he can still improve.

[spider-neil]

Sturridge's goal was better than Totti's (imho). He had more defenders around him and lobbed the keeper from a more acute angle.

I've been so impressed with him since he arrived and he looks like he can still improve.

Being the main striker playing every game has definitely helped his all round game. He's no longer got the self imposed pressures of trying to impress with every touch or shoot from every angle. Great to see.

I didn't know much about him except for the negative stuff so when he missed that pen against South Korea in the Olympics I piled in with criticism

This seasons stats vs. RVP & Rooney

Really impressive for us so far, not just in terms of the goals but also the number of chances created - 15 in 4 games

In other words Suarez is better than Sturridge at everything
