Sorry but with all due respect that is crap, that same team, minus Suarez were utter crap in the champions League the following season. Of course the loss of Suarez made a difference but if the team was really that good then they should still have been potent without him.
You've mentioned it yourself, Suarez wasn't in the team. Sturridge was injured too for virtually the whole season. So that has wiped the 13-14 attack clean out. Go back to my post and read it again - I said it all comes down to the attack for me.
But while we're on topic, I can say that Gerrard wasn't the same player either. I think going so close to a title and then missing out at the final hurdle with his infamous slip of all things just completely finished him. Once Luis left he knew he wouldn't win a title with Liverpool which is something he has worked his whole life for. Then lets move on to Sterling who was being a c**t over a new deal, purposely putting in dog sh*t performances acting like a spoilt little brat.
You say it was the same team? Well from my recollection it was a completely different team. We sold Luis for 75m and spunked it on Can, Markovic, Lallana, Lovren, Lambert, Moreno, Manquillo and F***ing Balotelli. We went from having the worlds best front pairing to having Mario Balotelli and Rickie Lambert. Our style of play completely changed, we had no movement in the final third because our front line was so static, Coutinho suffered as a consequence and in the end we had to play Raheem as a no.9 who didn't even want to be here. So with all due respect, it isn't crap at all.
Our 13-14 team beats our current side because of Steven, Luis and an in form Sturridge.
