He's not really comparable to Dalglish is he? Dalglish had his time. So did Maradonna. The game has changed vehemently. Let's just focus on how fucking ace he is.
It's the 93rd minute of a game in which he run his socks off and we are 2 goals up.
He challenges the defender and goes all the way to score. Can't think of many strikers who'd do this.
This is just an unbelieveable attitude!
On top of that never say die attitude, he's so skillful and technically gifted, he's sharp in mind, as Markeh says, and he's always in for the unexpected as he thinks different.
We're so blessed to have him. I hope he sticks with us, and becomes for us what Cantona was for MU.
That deadly duos list includes a couple of entries who played in 42 game seasons at the start of the PL. When you consider that, plus the fact that they haven't scored a penalty between them, they really are on a different planet.
Holland is far easier to score in.He is still below the level he played when he was in Ajax. 81 goals in 110 games for Ajax. Current record with us 79 goals in 125 games.
Having said that, 28 goals without scoring a single penalty is out of this world. 8 more games to go. Magnificent.
I made a mental note a while ago just to enjoy him and not think about where his future lies, now we're a bit closer to a champions league place I hope he'll stay here.
That last goal showed so much of him, there's just so much craft in it much more than I described before. I think he also purposefully hides himself in a blind spot of the defender and uses a combination of Raheem and feinting to hit the ball 2 or 3 times to ensure the goal. I think you could shave with him he's so sharp.
Was it you that brought his kid to their first Anfield match the time he scored 4 and wrote a really nice post about how much he enjoyed it? He's such a big part of making the side so enjoyable and successful this season.
Great point re: games played and penos.
That Beardo & Cole tandem was insane. Imagine if they had had a good defense?
Imagine if we had kept Suarez this season and played up front with Sturridge instead of aspas 😉
Wizzy, great call on posting those photos. My favourite moment of the whole game was seeing the Studge run straight over to Luis after scoring from his pass.

18 of those Ajax goals were penalties.
