    The media, the government; everyone seems to want a piece of Luis Suarez.

    Another 0-0 draw against an inferior opponents, regardless of who is to blame – the ineffectiveness of the attack or some incredible day from the opposing goalkeeper, draws closer and closer to a season in which Liverpool miss out on European qualification, unless something quite extraordinary happens in the next few weeks.

When it comes to flair and brilliance, it’s more up to Luis Suarez in the time he has left with the team, and the still adjusting Philippe Coutinho to bring that aspect into the match.
