      I wouldn't drop any of this front 3 for him

      Nor would I now.

      I’ve done a volte farce this week......

      When you see us play like we did on Wednesday and in the first half vs Citeh I think it’s time to recognise the chemistry and interdependence........

      Salah is THIS Salah because of Bobby and Sadio and vice versa...........

      More people would have just Salah than Salah and Suarez. I guess I'm not alone in thinking Suarez wouldn't be good for us.

      Hmm.. difficult, I would though. Suarez is a better player than Firmino and would also compliment Salah and Mane very very well.

      I don't like Suarez personally because he was a d*ck and the way he went on public wanting to move to Arsenal was a d*ck move. However, as a player he's still the most gifted player I've seen in a red shirt and was the main reason why we almost won the title under BR. A front 3 of Mane-Suarez-Salah and Firmino as rotation player would sh*t on any team in the world.

      It amazes me those who can't see or appreciate Bobbys influence on this team

      Agreed, Firmino first name on the team sheet. Phenomenal player!

      I like to think everyone (even Beerbelly!!) appreciate how influential Firmino is to us now, he is certainly world class! But I agree with AS, Suarez peak was something special and a better player than Firmino. I personally think we would score more goals with Suarez in the team over Firmino.

      Bobby's biggest fan since he walked through the door, but peak Suarez would be the first name on the team sheet.

      He's the only player to make me question Gerrard being the best player I have or will ever see in a Liverpool kit.

      Surely memories can't be that short...?

      He wasn't as clinical as Salah. Suarez uses to get a lot more saved. Salah just has a knack of putting it where the keeper can't get to. Salah accuracy makes Suarez look like Benteke.

      In fairness to Suarez he had Sterling and Studge alongside.

      Mo's playing with Bob and Sadio who can destroy any defensive system at any time.

      Best offensive trio in the world at this time

      Real headache to opposing manager.

      Imagine Suarez peak playing under Klopp, we would still have a player who would be just as influential as Firmino.

      Imagining it, Permanent ban in first season! When he was here he was warned one more thing and he could be permanently banned from PL. He's done loads of stuff in the Spanish League that would be considered big here.

      Maybe if Suarez had Klopp as his manager, things would have been different? But playing wise, Suarez with Salah and Mane would have been something even more special, especially with the players we have behind them.

      I know this is all hypothetical but surely it would be Mane dropped rather than Firmino? Mane is a fantastic player and had some great moments for us this season but, in my opinion, he has had nowhere near the same impact as Bobby.

      I get what you are saying, but I just feel there is more balance with Mane, Suarez and Salah, and with Suarez and Firmino best deployed centrally in the 9 position , I can't see a Firmino, Suarez, Salah front 3 being as effective as the Mane one.

      In his best season for us, did Suarez not often play on the left of a front 3? Not 100% sure if he did but thought Studge was often through the middle and sterling on the right, interchanging all the time.

      It would be a difficult one for sure, Mane gives you that explosiveness and can create something out of nothing but Salah, Suárez and Firmino interchanging in a front 3 is the stuff of dreams.

      What I do remember was how insane Suarez was for the first half without Sturridge , and when Sturridge returned from his injury, I noticed a drop in Suarez because Sturridge occupied the central areas more. Also, second half we had Sterling as a 10, didn't we?

      Man, that front 3 was amazing, but no where as good as our current one imo. I actually think our current front 3 could reach MSN levels once Keita comes in!!!!

      Quite simply he is not.

      Long, long way from it in this system.

      That’s not even a matter of opinion it’s clear - Luis doesn’t run / track backany more, plays more like Torres.

      Don't be silly

      No one is saying Firmino is not an influential player. He is a top class player but between him and Suarez? Suarez all day.

      Suarez 2014 mate, not Barca Suarez.

      People tend to forget what a beast Suarez was.
