The Suarez thing is getting a bit ridiculous now. People (media, mainly media) seem to forget he was with the club for 3 1/2 seasons. Liverpool finished 6th, 8th and 7th with Suarez in the side. What elevated the team was not some god like zen bullshit from Suarez,it was the introduction of Sturridge and Coutinhio beside him that elevated the team as a whole, i.e. better players.
At this point I am more worried about the form of Coutinhio than I am about the absence of Suarez.
Liverpool also played shit last year against these same teams with Suarez in the side... barring the Saints I think. They had shit games with Suarez at his best too you know. Liverpool are actually better off points wise than last year against the same teams you know. A not altogether fair comparison, but fucking hell, a brand new season, 6 (count them, 6) new players in the side, missing 6 players through injury (Allen, Can, Sturridge, Johnson, Skrtel, Flanagan), after an international week, before a CL week (Sterling was rested for that and rightly so, he's 19)
Perspective, context, circumstances, these are all important too you know.
