    Suarez only needs to score 12 more to equal the pl scoring record in one season. Safe to say he will smash that.

    Last season: Suarez 23 goals in 33 apps.

    This season(so far) 22 goals in 16 apps.

    Double the scoring rate and last season he was incredible!

    Extrapolating that over a 38 game season would put him on 52 goals. While he won't play 38 games for obvious reasons, he could certainly come close to 40 goals even if his strike rate in the remaining 17 games was to drop off.

    For the sake of comparison, the most ever scored in a 38 game season was 31.

    His 22 so far would be enough to have won the golden boot in 6 seasons of the 21 PL seasons, including the 42 game seasons.

    Anybody believing we'll get top 4 yet?

    Following on from the other thread Sturridge has 11 starts and 2 sub appearances, 10 goals and 3 assists. Suarez 22 goals and 5 assists.

    Gerrard has 6 assists, a few of those would be free kicks, Henderson next with 5.

    Coutinho has been disappointing, just 2 goals and assists. Maybe a game or 2 out would do him good. I do still think he's a gem, just things don't seem to be working out for him a lot this season. It defines how far Sterling has come on when we are talking of dropping Coutinho, to think some wrote him off earlier in the season.

    That ESPN film on Loughlin Island should be interesting as well, hard to believe it's 20 years ago.

    Great to see Sturridge back and reestablishing the link with Suarez straight away, I think Coutinho will play a lot better with Sturridge playing, he links up with him better than Suarez. That is if Coutinho doesn't get dropped, couldn't justify leaving Sterling out anyway

    SAS are on track for 50 league goals no bother at this rate. Wonder when that was last done?

    It would be unimaginable to have a partnership like that and not finish top 4. For all the complaints about conceding we must be a nightmare to play against, score 3 and still lose!

    Its really just a question of scoring more goals than are conceded in pretty much every game from here on, yep I think that's how it works :p

    Seriously though for all the attacking, a couple more clean sheets wouldn't go amiss - got to try to get the CBs sorted - pick two and just play them until one gets injured. Drop Gerrard when Allen returns - the whole dynamic is so much better which means the opposition is playing further away from the LFC goal than would otherwise be the case. Buy a good CM, a wide man and a full back anyway just to be sure.

    Love the reaction of Suarez and Sturridge after the goal. Serious partnership there.

    According to wiki, the original SAS got 49 between them the year Blackburn won the league. As I said though, that was a 42 game season with Shearer ever present and Sutton missing only two games

    I think Sturridge's return will be most beneficial in games we don't dominate. It was evident against Chelsea & in particular City, that Suarez was dropping deeper to get more of the ball, leaving us short up top at times. With Sturridge back, we can afford the luxury of having Suarez in a more withdrawn position

    I'm glad Brendan Rodgers and the team had more belief than I did today. I was sure at 2-2 we were done for. And that's not because I'm a pessimistic person for the sake of it, we've been burned before and it really felt like the same old story, but they turned it around ans I'm still buzzing.

    We got lucky a few times today, but even at that, we haven't had luck on our side in a while.

    For Liverpool? I don't think the main two goal threats for any Liverpool team ever managed 50 league goals between them in one season.

    I know that Kenny and Rush never managed it, and the Aldridge/Beardsley combo never made the 50 league goal mark either.


    Would have to do a bit of digging to be sure, but I think Aldridge/Beardsley in their first season with the club was our best one season league goal pairing with 41 league goals between them (Barnes also got 15 league goals that same season)


    Rush and Barnes managed 40 league goals between them for the 89/90 season.


    Rush and Kenny got 39 between then in 83/84.


    Gerrard/Torres managed 35 between them in 07/08.


    So Suarez/Sturridge already being on 32 between them as we approach mid January is a bit special, and possible has them on course to be the best ever one season league goal pairing the club has ever had. By my reckoning they need 10 more league goals between them to be the club's best one season league goal pairing.

    Remember how good Torres was in his first season. Well Suarez is just two goals from his total away after just 16 games.

    I must admit it's a bit surreal this scoring rate of his.

    great win today we must be the most exciting team in the league to watch for the neutrals some great games this year including today, the everton, city and spurs games to name a few have been great to watch. Mainly because as good as we are going forward we are so open defensively. Its seems a long time ago since we started the season with 3 1-0 wins. Our two full backs give me the jitters, I cant believe how poor johnson is playing.
    Suarez apart from his goals his passing was unbelievable today. His pass for sturridge's goal and coutinho's volley in the 1st half were class.

    Yep, goals win games, if you score more than the opposition you win! :eek:

    The settled partnership probably is the key, injuries haven't helped plus Skrtel is in decent form.

    Those are the 3 areas we need to upgrade for me as well, a FB that can cover both sides preferably.

    He is only one goal away from matching his league total for us last season, and we all thought he was just a tad special last season.


    Interestingly (or ominously) his form this season so far is starting to resemble that of his last full season with Ajax, and his form last season is very close to his second last full season with Ajax.

    Good morning from Australia. Woke up very very hungover and watched the game TWICE.

    Had a feeling we'd win as I said earlier but how the fcuk did they even score ?????

    Chasing Arsenal for 3rd and that's playing with 9 men because our full backs are awful.

    Brendan has got it right. Out score the opposition.

    Happy as and now going back to bed to sleep the rest of the hangover off.
