The risk is that Sturridge isn't good enough, there's no risk in Suarez playing elsewhere, his movement isn't that of an out and out striker anyway, he plays elsewhere for Uruguay, and his movement and awareness of space is peerless. Sturridge will have lots of space to work with, it's on him to not be shit.
There seems to be a lot of people thinking Luis is suddenly going to be banished to the wing and stay stuck out there with chalk on his boots as the game goes on elsewhere. He now has even more freedom than before to cause havoc anywhere along the opposition's back line, knowing that there is someone in the middle to put away chances. That's what I think anyway.
There is an element of truth in this Oncey , in that I think it is all pish about positions, I don't think Suarez ever plays in a set position, he is just "up-front", I think you could play Sturridge anywhere up front and Suarez would compensate his position accordingly
Yeah, I agree. Too much of this discussion has suffered from the old-fashioned idea that you're either a striker or a wide player and never the twain shall meet. Rodgers' style relies on (among other things) the front three switching around at pace anyway.
Did not see this before I posted along similar lines, and this is the truth
If Suarez has the freedom to drop deeper, it will help to distract the opposition's midfield and in so doing help to create space for our own gutless midfield who otherwise collectively shit it at the first sign of being pressed. I think it's a good move to give him a free role. And when he gets his inevitable eight-match ban this season, Suso can step into that role.
The only problem with that is Sturridge is shit. So in conjunction with Suarez being freed up, Sterling will need to go up front alongside him. The pair of them will probably be quite good since whenever Sturridge idiotically runs into the wrong place, it will automatically leave Sterling in the right place, and vice versa.

No Downing?
Yep.... BRING ON THE TOTAL FUCKING FOOTBALL!
My boy Downing - he's coming good for everyone now - so lay off man. Plus he's scored a goal. Also - after Suarez, and SG, he is probably the most technically gifted player in our team, thats why BR keeps picking him. If we had another manager - he would do the same. Managers know what the lad is capable of, they know that even if some on here lack the footballing viewing experience.
Just kidding mate. I think we can all see he's been playing really well lately.
Incidentally, I also said he'd come good. But by the start of this season I had given up on him. However he still needs some more good performances before I'm sold on him. Put it this way, on his current form, I'd be happy enough to hang on to him if possible.
What I really hope is that he does so so well in the 2nd half of the season, that Barca put in a bid for the lad in the summer. I would not sell him of course but just the thought of such a bid being made - oh man, it would be HAIL MORON on here !!!! Oh Yes.
Anyway getting back to the point of this thread, and to bring back on subject. I think writing team lineups will be easy for the front 3:

XX-SG-XX

Yeah - fewer key strokes - all good to me.

Description and links to Suarez' goals this season:
Manchester City - Free-kick from around 30-yards. (right-foot)
Hearts - Run from the half-way line, attacking the defence from the left-side. (left-foot)
Sunderland - Tidy finish inside the 6-yard box from a Sterling cross. (left-foot)
Norwich City (3) - Goal 1 - Dribbling along the 18-yard box from the left side before slotting in the bottom corner. (right-foot). Goal 2 - Harassing and pressurising the centre-half, then capitalised on his indecision by winning the ball high up the pitch, nutmegging him and finishing with the outside of his right foot. Goal 3 - Receives the ball on the left-side, takes two touches and curls the ball around the defender into the bottom corner from the edge of the 18-yard box. (right-foot)
Udinese - Fantastic free-kick from just over 20-yards away. (right-foot)
Everton - Blasted in from the right-hand side of the penalty area. (right-foot)
Swansea City - flicked on header from an inswinging Gerrard free-kick on the left-side.
Newcastle United - long ball over the top from Jose Enrique at left-back and Suarez magnetically brought it down on his chest and cooly taking it around the 'keeper. (right-foot)
Chelsea - Corner from the right-side and headed in from 2-yards.
Wigan (2) - Goal 1 - Sterling intercepted a poor pass in the final-third, carried the ball into a dangerous area and reverse-passed it to Suarez at the penalty spot after some clever movement, matched by a brilliant finish. (right-foot) Goal 2 - Jose Enrique bringing the ball in-field, committing players to him before slipping a sublime ball through the centre to Suarez to finish in the bottom corner with the outside of his right foot from 12-yards.
Fulham - Good work from Enrique on the left before a reverse pass to Suarez on the 6-yard box in a crowded penalty area taken instinctively with his left foot.
QPR (2) Goal 1 - Great movement just outside the box to create space for himself to attack the defence, drops the shoulder, then takes it around the centre-half and slots it in the bottom corner. (right-foot) QPR (2) - Goal 2 - Dribbles along the goal line on the right side, then goes to set up Sterling in the middle before it rebounds back and (again) without thinking buries it with his left-foot from inside the 6-yard box.
Sunderland (2) - Goal 1 - Outmuscled the Sunderland defender on the right side, then attacked the box and blasted into the back of the net from 10 yards. (right-foot) Sunderland (2) - Goal 2 - Similarities to the goal against Newcastle. Gerrard delivers a fantastic pass over the top from right-back, splitting the centre-backs before Suarez chests it towards goal and knocks it in from 8 yards. (right-foot)

Cheers! It was born out of curiosity more than anything as the debate continues to see where he's most effective, but it shows what we already know, that the guy is pretty much unstoppable from all angles and ranges.
Yep.
