50 for Luis

Luis Suarez' hatrick today took his tally of goals for Liverpool Football Club up to 49. Meaning his next goal will give him the half century and become only the 51st player to achieve that milestone and only the 8th in the Premiership era.

Not bad for a fella who isn't a goalscorer eh?

Looking forward to seeing our number 7 celebrate his 50th goal for Liverpool.

And may there be many, many more.

Woohoo Luis 

    Cheers Luis!

49 in 90. That's a good record, and as you said esp for someone who doesn't score!

I fully believe he will eclipse Torres's record, and we called him prolific.

Better than Torres in his prime.

Fernando who?

Luis Suarez, baby!

What a beast.

Torres: 81 goals in 142 appearances (1 every 1.75 games)
Suarez: 49 goals in 90 appearances (1 every 1.84 games)

But I'd be very interested to see the assist stats.

Let's hope Suarez is here way past his 100th appearance.

I wonder will he break Torres 33 in one season ?

Strange thread, could have waited till he hit 50

Here's filling me with glee:

Dear sirs (c*nts) from the media, who's number one now?

I also believe Suarez would leave Torres for dead if you was to compare workrates between the two.Also if we had of had Sturridge andCoutinho at the start of the season were would Suarez be with his goal tally now.

He's a Super F***ing Star and he's OURS!

Yep and Billy always starts these with a game, or a goal,  to go which is great as it reminds us of the milestone ahead.

Fernando who?

I'm guessing someone, somewhere, said that. Whoever it was obviously wasn't aware of his record for Ajax - 81 in 110 games - and the reason 'we' bought him. A really shrewd signing that and talk about "value for money"... 

As much as i rated Torres in his pomp, he did have a fantastic team behind him. I mean, 08-09 was probably one of Stevies best seasons, Alonso was a BEAST, MAsch was bossing the midfield...what a team.

For Luis to reach 50 only 6-7 games after him, in this squad says quite a lot. The man is a genious, and whats scary is that i know he still isnt at his best! Oh yes, he CAN do better.

49 and not a single pen!

This season, only Messi scored more goals without penalties and Luis is just 3 away from 2nd spot in Europe

He is quite simply fantastic.

Wish i could describe him in words but i can't.

Even though defenders know what he's going to do they are still powerless to stop him. Am really hoping he stays with us after the Summer, we have to show we can match his ambition.

Well done Luis, we all love you.

Strange thread, could have waited till he hit 50

Pointless, miserable post. No need, you could have waited until he hit fifty before posting/moaning.

I too would love to see the assists stats. Although I loved Torres when he was here its fair to say that Suarez has covered more ground already than Nando did in his whole time here.

Such a shame that it would probably never ever be possible for him to win Player of the Year. Actually, the one that players vote is possible I suppose isn't it?

I'm hoping Suarez finish as top scorer and gets the golden boot. It will be a great achievement for him to be known as the best goalscorer in the EPL i think.

Never felt like this about a foriegn player since Torres came lets hope he doesnt judas us like him but cant see him going to a rival if he went to Bayern, Madrid or Barca really coudnt blame him because he deserves it but i genuinely beleive he loves the club and the fans! YNWA Luis!

Torres: 81 goals in 142 appearances (1 every 1.75 games)

Is that the same one who plays for Chelsea now?

Edit: occasionally appears

Wow, wasn't aware about this. Great little player and I will say myself, I never had him down as a goalscorer, in particular at the end of last season. I would like to take some credit for this, however. After meeting him in Tesco at the start of the year, I would like to admit that I taught him everything, hence his good run. Seems he listened!

Well done Luis!

Anyways, Well done Luis, and hopefully many, many more to come

Someone give this lad Stueys contact information, please and thank you

Absolutely love him to bits and I've had the pleasure of seeing him close up at every game (bar 1) at Anfield this season, and he just keeps getting better and better.

S - Superstar

U - Unbelievable

A - Awesome

R - Rampant

E - Exquisite

Z - Zazzy

Zazzy... i dont think I have seen this word used for a couple of years at least

how about zealous or zigzag?

Suarez is way too F***ing good. He can score, he can pass you balls on a plate, he can make defenders trip balls.

And now that we have clever players like Sturridge and Coutinho playing with him, I am just drooling at the prospect.

Zazzy... i dont think I have seen this word used for a couple of years at least

He Zigzag's round defences doesn't he 

I struggled to think of an appropriate Z word actually.

Better than Torres in his prime.

Torres was the best finisher we could ever dream of in his prime.  Suarez is a better footballer, but Torres' pace and his finishing were just something else. As much as I like Suarez, I must admit that Torres is the better finisher. At his peak Torres was the best in the world.

Its hardly moaning now is it, simply saying it could have waited until he hit the 50th to start the thread

Is that true that none of the 49 were penos?

Suarez, for me, is the better of the two.
Then I would take Torres' peak to have been his first season, 07-08.
That's the only season where you could argue a case for Torres as the better outright striker.
Even then it's marginal looking at the stats for that season and Suarez this season.

Torres 07/08:
Games - 46.
Goals - 33.
Assists - 5.

Suarez 12/13, so far:
Games - 38.
Goals - 28.
Assists - 10.

I would have thought Erik Meijer was miles ahead of any striker for the worst striker to ever represent the club.

But on Luiz, he's by far the best player in the premiership, no arguments, miles above the rest. Keep it up and i expect him to cross the 100 mark before the end of next season, meaning he will definitely be here all u pessimists. I even have a mate of mine praying he stops scoring so other clubs dont get desperate for his service, but i say walk on Luiz and set the world on fire with ur dazzling skills o u KING of NUTMEGS, no other player does it better.

And i believe with this frustrating goal machine we'll definitely come 4th this season. I still believe.

Well, God had 49 in 91, and Luis is 49 in 90.... second comming of our Lord?

He's not the Messiah, hes a very naughty boy!

Personally I would argue that with 8 game less and only 5 goals then Suarez is the better striker... If he scores 5 in 8 (yes a big ask but he is bang on form) then he is no doubt the better player, and indeed striker!

How long before he hits his century for the Reds!

I'm not arguing that Torres is better.
The point was put to me that Torres in his prime was better.
I don't think he was.

"Great little player"?!

That title is reserved for someone like Sterling. Suarez is a footballing genius...!!!

Perhaps Torres was more clinical at his peak, but he required the team to be set up to suit his strengths.

Luis is a better all round footballer, he doesn't have the pace of Torres (but he's certainly not slow) but he has skills that Torres can only dream of.
At his best, Luis is nothing short of a genius: incredible touch, close control, tenacity, strength, guile. Add those attributes to his ability to find space and his natural aggression and you have the most complete striker in the premier league.

If I had one criticism of Luis, it would be that he didn't get his head up and look for a pass inside the box often enough, but to be fair, we were getting so few players in the box at that time that he was probably right in being a bit selfish. However, in the 2nd half of this season, we have seen that not only he can get his head up and spot the pass, but he can also do it whilst going through/past defenders.

An incredible player, and we're lucky to have him.

Suarez could arguably play anywhere in the front four.
Torres could only play as the front man.

I'd say Suarez has far more to his game.
Torres had pace and accuracy, now his pace is gone.

Suarez can play off Sturridge.
Suarez can play the false 9.
Suarez can play out wide.

By far the more complete of the two players.

The longer pass he plays with the outside of his right foot is nothing short of magnificent.

F**k, I sound like I'm creaming my pants with manlove here.

Sometimes it good to be reminded of the epic football he's played this season.

Agreed, just some pointers:
Luis has not yet peaked
He has the most amount of assists in the league ( and by assist i mean passes that resulted in clear cut scoring opportunities... Just a pity only 4 resulted in goals, what gives us something to think about), so his not getting his head up is no more than a myth.

I'm not sure it was a myth before this season mate, but like I said, perhaps circumstances and a lack of support dictated his options, or lack of them.

percentages pretty much in line with last season, but he created even more last season

Looks like he passes enough, in the zone where it matters. Given the amount of conversion of the chances he creates for others, I think he didnt trust his team mates enough to finish off, hence he shoots himself on occasions. So, in a nutshell, numbers say he does get his head up, and passes a LOT, but seeing the little effectivity, he tends to finish himself.

He creates more, so he is selfish on more occasions...as a percentage of chances created, i dont think he is selfish overall, just that the insane amount of chances he creates lets him shoot himself more times, but as a percentage, they are what you expect for a goalscorer, and even better.

And hell froze over

50 goals in 91 games. (a goal every 1.76 games)

Before this season it was in 21 goals 52 games. (a goal every 2.47 games)

Just shows how far he's come on this season. 29 goals in 39 games. (a goal every 1.34 games)

And this calendar year he's improved even further 13 goals in 13 games (a goal every game)

Now the difficult part...pick the best of the 50.

He's not really an out and out goalscorer is he  Anyway they haven't a clue . He's classes above the rest , nutmegs ,headers , freekicks the whole package .

I think his best was at home to Newcastle when he took all of the pace and sting out of Enrique's long pass and coolly slotted past Krul. Immense talent required to do that and Luis made it look so easy.

Great figures above from a great player.

The best goal is the one that wasn't ruled a goal for him. Against the Mancs. The one Kuyt finished off.

Unreal player.

I still think the set up for Kuyt's tap-in at Old Trafford is one of the greatest bits os skill I've seen from Luis.

the halfway lob over Ruddy was sublime .

Brilliant video with so many gems to choose from but I'm sticking with his goal against Newcastle.

 Without a doubt a bargain buy,he has the same skill and football brain that Kenny Dalglish had when he was playing.I hope he stays as long as Kenny did and achieves the success that Kenny had with us as a player

Every so often a player blows through anfield that it is a joy to watch play Luis has joined that list and some .

He's a joy to watch and sublime only just about covers the lad's skills.
Every team is overawed and intimidated by his outlandish talent their only response is to attempt to provoke him and get him disciplined - perfectly illustrated yesterday.

The reason i kept it simple Stuey don,t know the exact words i would like to use for him ,but for average payers to play with him ,well just say if that don,t wake them up and make them want to improve then nothing will .

Before it was stevie dragging the team along now at long last he has some major back up to ease the burden ,fck me even Downing is getting the message ,hard work and all that.

my fav is still his second.... from the line in the black and yellow shirts... amazing

Was waiting for this. Thank you sir!

How do you pick a favourite from that??

One moment that will live forever in my memory is that mesmerising run against Utd that set up Kuyt's tap in. What a way to introduce yourself.

Best one has to be the goal that wasnt against the scum
His second goal, the halfway line one, and the newcastle play are incredible

Some great goals there!

F**k sake! When I read the title of the thread I thought it was asking if we're offered £50m for luis would we accept, thank F**k it wasn't,

Yep, the stats are awesome, and to think of so many missed chances to, the wee fella is already a legend in my eyes, for his sheer passion and determination alone, he's going nowhere, he loves it here , he knows where he is appreciated, YNWA luis.

I watch his Newcastle goal nearly every day
