Liverpool have forgotten about Luis Suarez already

Life after Luis Suarez doesn’t look anywhere near as bleak as some were making out after Liverpool's fantastic 4-0 friendly win over Borussia Dortmund. There will never be another Suarez, but Brendan Rodgers has found enough exciting players to fill the gap and compensate, and in Coutinho they have a player of rare quality. People were worried about how Liverpool would cope with the loss of such a brilliant player but it’s been proven that the good times are set to continue. Against Dortmund they were just relentless. It was just like watching last season's performances all over again, and Suarez was nowhere to be seen. [COUTINHO WONDER SHOW AS LIVERPOOL DEMOLISH DORTMUND] There will be more difficult tests to come and they will go through difficult spells, but you can’t deny that Liverpool have a squad brimming full of talent and outstanding players. It was quite a statement from Liverpool and very much a case of picking up the baton from where they left off. They were playing in the same sort of style, working hard to win the ball back, with plenty of movement when they had the ball. There was individual brilliance when they did have possession and bits of magic to change the game. The star of the show, though, was Coutinho. I’ve always felt that the more central you can get him, the better he will be. He has a superb range of passing and an ability to spot space. He is on the of those passers who always sees the gap and with the quality of runners around him, and the pace, he is a very dangerous weapon indeed.
