Saints aiming to avoid Suarez repeat
8:22am Friday 15th March 2013 in Sport
By Gordon Simpson, Senior Sports Reporter
Luis Saurez poses with a young fan after scoring twice in 2009 to help Ajax win the Ted Bates Trophy
Luis Suárez will return to St Mary’s tomorrow, with Saints hoping he does not repeat the dazzling performance he produced on his first ever visit to the stadium.
The Liverpool striker was part of the Ajax team that played Saints in a 2009 pre-season friendly, a game that doubled as a memorable welcome to the club’s new owner, Markus Liebherr.
The arrival of Liebherr in the director’s box, signalling a bright new future for the club, along with the official unveiling of Alan Pardew as manager, distracted much of the attention from the pitch that afternoon.
But it was hard for anyone inside St Mary’s to ignore the masterful performance produced by Suárez, who scored twice as the Dutch side triumphed 4-1.
It says much for the progress of Saints over the last three-and-a-half years that they are now welcoming a player of his calibre for a competitive match.
But they will likely need to be at their best this weekend to avoid suffering a similar fate to the one in 2009, as the Uruguayan arrives on the south coast in a sensational run of form.
The Premier League’s top marksman has scored a sensational 15 times in his last 14 matches, and has netted 29 goals across all competitions for the Reds this season.
The 26-year-old’s influence on the Liverpool team has even been compared to that of Lionel Messi’s at Barcelona.
Suárez’s teammate José Enrique said: “In the game, all the time, the first person I look for is him and he always makes a movement and I try to put the ball there and he does the rest.
“It is really easy to understand with him. He is our best player and he can do something from nothing.
“It’s like at Barcelona – the first player they look for when the game is in a bad situation is Messi, because you know he can do something.
“Luis is the same. I look for him because I know he can do something different and we understand each other.”

I like Jos, but he is reactive rather than proactive, and gives strikers too much space, at times.
Need to stop the ball getting to him, which will be the toughest test for the new playing system to date.

Liverpool are not a one man team, so concentrating on Suarez will leave it open for other players to capitalise. However he is very clever and as we play high, we are very vulnerable to those dinked balls over the Centre Backs. It is going to be hard to supress Liverpool, our only hope is that they think that they only have to turn up to beat us. Any kind of positive result will be a bonus. COYRs

They literally muscled Bale out of the game last weekend by going very hard into 50/50 challenges and riding their luck with the ref. For all their reputation as an attractive passing side they're also a tough, physical team who will mix it.
It will be interesting to see how this combines with our high pressing and new-found 'competitiveness' (ie arsiness') plus the 'latin' temparament of Suarez. I predict some red cards. Hopefully for him/them.

At the end I'd like to see Gerrard thoroughly frustrated tomorrow having watched Adam go down the tunnel well satisfied.

Last home game the atmosphere was totally negative because we didnt know whether to shriek abuse at the Cockney git or support the team. In the end we did neither effectively.
Tomorrow is another day and Liverpool are beatable, the only thing that will can us would be the Clattenburg.
COYR I remember way back we scored in 4th minute against the Scouse at the Dell came out winners 1 0. Same again please!!

Can't prepare a team against players throwing themselves to the ground all day trying to win a pen or free kick.
So, I expect Hoover, the first time Suarez tries to run, to give him "a good tap, then he won't try again" (My dad's words, the words of the player voted best player in the Sheffield Altar Boys league in 1936 - who can deny the truth of it).

Unfortunately the meeting didn't go too well.
I think he was expecting I might ask the usual kind of questions such as "Why does God allow pain and suffering?". But what I wanted to know was things like "Why didn't He make sperm taste like chocolate? Or rain taste minty so everyone's got nice breath? Why does the Church disapprove of surrogate mothers when Mary was one? Why can't physics and chemistry be used for birth control when mathematics is ok?
Wouldn't it have been a much better miracle if Jonah had swallowed the whale?
He just shrugged me off, but then he seemed to get right agitated when I told him that I was forced to question whether the Bible really is all good - because my mate Dave dropped his Bible on his pet mouse and it killed it.
Anyway, I was finally told to leave after asking if the Pope always used an anti-bacterial wipe before people kissed his ring.
It was all very disappointing and quite puzzling too really. Still - you can't win 'em all.
I do still have the Pope's e mail address if any of you on here have any questions you want me to pass on.

From what I've seen of Coutinho he looks like an excellent buy for £8m. That's the sort of deal we need to be making and I guess that's why MoPo was brought in and poor old Nigel given the bullet - better contacts.

MP will have to totally alter tactics to avoid defeat. Suarez and others are simply to quick-of-thought for our defenders and we will need to treat tomorrow almost like an away game and try to disrupt the play more often than we want to get behind them.Play it cagey for 60 and then try and switch gear. Difficult but possible.

MP will have to totally alter tactics to avoid defeat. Suarez and others are simply to quick-of-thought for our defenders and we will need to treat tomorrow almost like an away game and try to disrupt the play more often than we want to get behind them.Play it cagey for 60 and then try and switch gear. Difficult but possible.

Liverpool are not a one man team, so concentrating on Suarez will leave it open for other players to capitalise. However he is very clever and as we play high, we are very vulnerable to those dinked balls over the Centre Backs. It is going to be hard to supress Liverpool, our only hope is that they think that they only have to turn up to beat us. Any kind of positive result will be a bonus. COYRs
They literally muscled Bale out of the game last weekend by going very hard into 50/50 challenges and riding their luck with the ref. For all their reputation as an attractive passing side they're also a tough, physical team who will mix it.
It will be interesting to see how this combines with our high pressing and new-found 'competitiveness' (ie arsiness') plus the 'latin' temparament of Suarez. I predict some red cards. Hopefully for him/them.
Just asking.
Unfortunately the meeting didn't go too well.
I think he was expecting I might ask the usual kind of questions such as "Why does God allow pain and suffering?". But what I wanted to know was things like "Why didn't He make sperm taste like chocolate? Or rain taste minty so everyone's got nice breath? Why does the Church disapprove of surrogate mothers when Mary was one? Why can't physics and chemistry be used for birth control when mathematics is ok?
Wouldn't it have been a much better miracle if Jonah had swallowed the whale?
He just shrugged me off, but then he seemed to get right agitated when I told him that I was forced to question whether the Bible really is all good - because my mate Dave dropped his Bible on his pet mouse and it killed it.
Anyway, I was finally told to leave after asking if the Pope always used an anti-bacterial wipe before people kissed his ring.
It was all very disappointing and quite puzzling too really. Still - you can't win 'em all.
I do still have the Pope's e mail address if any of you on here have any questions you want me to pass on.
Seriously: buy a couple of loaves and a few hot dogs hey presto whole stadium is fed..enormous margins..as for beer and wine weellll enough said.
Virgin Airways, Virgin Atlantic, Virgin trains...
...surely god must of copyrighted Virgin births...
...all those fertility clinics owe a blöédy fortune...
...and as we are the Saints ergo his representatives on earth we should be collecting.
