Man Utd: 5 Reasons Why Van Persie Is Better Than Luis Suarez

5. Consistency

Rvp If we are examining the two strikers not only throughout the course of this season, but also throughout the course of the seasons that came before, the statistics show that Robin van Persie has been in better form than Luis Suarez. The Dutchman won the prestigious Golden Boot award last season with his remarkable goal tally for Arsenal where he scored a remarkable 30 league goals, with 37 in all competitions. He set the Premier League alight that season and was by and large the best striker in the division and cast Luis Suarez into the shade. Then, the Uruguayan scored just 11 in the league and 17 overall as Liverpool endured a dismal campaign and finished 8th in the Premier League. The season before that, in 2010/11, during the Uruguayan's debut season at Anfield, he only managed 4 league goals to Robin van Persie's then tally of 18. The two are neck and neck this season, but consistently, RVP has been the better player over a longer period of time.
