Liverpool Transfers: 5 Reasons To Keep Luis Suarez At The Club
2. Suarez Gives Liverpool A Presence That Makes Teams Scared Of Liverpool
Obviously, the numbers speak for themselves to large extent. However, things go a bit deeper than the numbers suggest when we consider the mental side of football. This season Liverpool have surpassed the expectations that many people would have put on them. Theres no doubt that Luis Suarez has played a big part in all of this. If the Reds didnt have the player they would still likely be a decent side in the Premier League, but maybe would act the fear factor. Opposing sides go into a game against Liverpool wondering how they are going to stop Suarez. Of course, this is a major benefit for Liverpool because some of their other players that Raheem Sterling, Jordan Henderson, Steven Gerrard and Daniel Sturridge may get more space as teams are focussed on stopping Suarez. The data that has already been presented here shows how few teams are able to find any kind of solution to keep him quiet, and that will be a problem For England at the World Cup when the player lines up for Uruguay. Liverpool need to maintain this presence and fear factor, and the best way of doing that is to keep Suarez in the building.
