10 Reasons Luis Suarez Is Irreplacable At Liverpool

2. The SAS Partnership

One of the highlights of the 13/14 season was the emergence of the Sturridge-Suarez partnership. Despite the former missing two months of the season through injury, and the latter having been suspended for the first eight games, the duo still amassed 54 Premier League goals. They have been heralded as an even more talented version of the dynamic Sutton-Shearer partnership who triumphed for Blackburn Rovers in the mid-90s. With Suarez packing his bags for Barcelona, there seems to be a poignant reflection that this is a partnership cut down in its€™ prime. Whoever Suarez is replaced with, surely won€™t strike such a fluent, efficient and clinical partnership with Sturridge. Floating in and out of holes, linking up with eloquent back heels and sumptuous drag backs, the SAS partnership excited and frightened footballers supporters the length and breadth of the country this season. As Suarez slots in alongside Messrs. Neymar and Lionel at the Catalan giants following the completion of his ban, Sturridge will look on with tears in his eyes, forced to watch his former comrade sparkle anew, while he struggles in vain to light a spark with Rickie Lambert.
