Luis Suarez who turns 37 in two months and is playing with a knee injury has taken Gremio who were in the Brazilian second division last season to join first in the first division having the most assists and most GA in the league including 17 GA in his last 14 games and top it off he just scored a 19-minute hattrick against the league leaders in their own back yard to complete the comeback from 3-1 down and give Gremio a fighting chance to win the league for the first time in 42 years Suarez has failed to have a goal contribution in only two games in the last 3 months at almost 37 he’s been Gremios best player and perhaps South American football’s best player I don’t think any number 9 in history has an individual impact on their teams like Suarez did he was world class in a decent Liverpool side he won the treble with the Barcelona side that had finished trophyless he won Atletico Madrid’s first league title in seven years now this madness with Gremio

    His hunger on the pitch is bigger than anyone’s. You just know he’s going to get stuck in and when he gets the bit between his teeth he’s unlike anyone else. He just eats up defences wherever he’s playing. If chew give him a yard of space, he just feasts on it.

    And, boy, can he ball!

    I see people saying Giroud and Lewa are better.

    They are completely different types of players. Lewa & Giroud are target men who don’t need to move much so age affects their game less. Suarez is still running all round the place like he is in his 20’s.

    The playing with a knee injury sums him up. I believe Gerrard said that with Sturridge he had to try convince him to play when he had some slight discomfort but Suarez would strap himself up and run through a brick wall for the team.

    All 3 are great players but unfair to compare when they play differently.
