Luis Suarez has taken responsibility for Liverpool’s failure to find the back of the net. Suarez, who scored a free-kick worthy of any player in full goal scoring form, insisted that he is to blame for the lack of goals despite the team’s dominance throughout games.
“The problem isn’t with anyone else - I am the problem,” he said.
“Missing chances is all down to me.
“I need to take my time more when I do have chances. Sometimes I am rushing at chances too much and I know the problem is mine.
“It is up to me to sort it out and to start scoring goals. That is what we have training for”.
Prior to joining Liverpool, the Uruguayan international was the world’s leading goal scorer, even bettering Lionel Messi. Yet despite this, the player believes luck has a key part to play in him finishing chances and hopes that fortune will once again show favour on him.
“I scored a lot of goals in Holland, but in Holland I scored a lot of lucky goals.
“If you look back on my goals in Holland you will see that, a lot of times, I didn’t even hit them properly, but they went in.
“If there is one thing that is missing in this country it is that bit of luck that can make a big difference. I am hoping that it will return and then I will score more goals.”
Kopsource.com is the brainchild of passionate Liverpool FC fans whose desire for real and regular news, opinions and statistics could not be satiated by any of the other existing sites online.
A modern player taking blame, wow this is almost unheard of. His goal on Sunday was wonderful, but I’m glad Suarez can see areas of his game which need improving.
Class Mr. Suarez, pure class
But what can he do about? He’s probably practiced all his life at making goals but he’s not a clinical finisher. I love him to death though.
good of him to say this, but the last thing I want is for Suarez to be playing with pressure. he does things for this team that nobody in the squad can. he should not have to be a one man show. everyone else around him needs to up their game.
Hats-off to him for being honest but I still want an out-and-out CF coming in before the transfer market closes… be it Huntelaar or any one else but he should be accurate as hell in front of goal !
My line-up will be as follows :
Reina
Johnson Skrtel Agger Enrique
Gerrard Allen Sahin
Suarez (New CF) Assaidi/Sterling
I think Suarez would be great on the flanks (both) as he likes to cut inside or take on players.
We need a powerful striker and get in dembele
I fully support getting Dembele
sorry if this was covered elsewhere, but does anyone else think BR might be inclined to use Sahin at left back when Lucas is fully fit?
But what can he do about? He’s probably practiced all his life at making goals but he’s not a clinical finisher. I love him to death though.
Hats off to you Luis, I hope you find some luck too!
Honest man, yes, Luis Suarez is honest.
he does things for this team that nobody in the squad can. he should not have to be a one man show. everyone else around him needs to up their game.

I have just learnt from a very ‘insider’ contact of Newcaslte that Andy Carroll will be rejoining them during the very late hours of the transfer market. We as true Liverpool fans need to let this NOT HAPPEN. One way to voice our concerns it through Kospurce website. It seems even management staff at LFC read Kopsource, hence if we rally get a good article with the truth about how much us fans want to keep Carroll, it could and would work. Hope you consider this.
FACT ON HOW MUCH LFC FANS LOVE CARROLL.
LFC official website almost crashed when AC signed for LFC that day. All the fans wanted to read it from the official source.
REASON WHY WE NEED TO KEEP CARROLL
He proved end of last season how capable he is, proved during the euros and never plaed a full match this season, yet scored a great goal in one of only three matches he played as a Even Borini missed important chances at the beginning of the game. Carroll deserves to be at LFC, why? Because We, fans want to keep him, he wants to stay and prove, we’ve already paid the odds and IF we sell him(hope not), we’ll again come under a lot of PROFESSIONAL at all.
subsitutue. Even in City game, he played around 7 minutes, thus he nearly created a great goal(that directed header to Coates which enarly reached Coates).
PLEASE BRENDAN RODGERS, Keep ANDY CARROLL AT LIVERPOOL
Hope to see an article on this asap, and hope we get to keep Carroll
Thanks
Luis is definitely one of a kind. We need experience and proven goal scoring prowess. I know LFC has been linked for months but they need Dempsey. He is not yet peaked and he is proven in front of net. I think he could help take pressure of Borini and whomever he plays up front with. Dempsey, Dempsey, Dempsey!!!!!!
Why not Cavani even for 30 M
Of top Premier League goal scorers last season Dempsey and Suarez had the worst conversion rates. Dempsey needed roughly ten shots to every goal he scored. Under Rodgers patient style of waiting till the time is right he should only get around 2 to 4 good chances per game unless he does what Suarez admits to here and wasting our attacks by stabbing at chances too early. We love Suarez it frustrates us but he can be forgiven because the guy is so technical and brings so much to the team. Dempsey wouldnt get half as much leeway. Really dont get why this love affair for Dempsey. Revenue/USA popularity wise more LFC fans on US tour than Spurs or Roma 2 big clubs with yanks in squads and Fulham hardly raking in dough off having Dempsey. Playing wise 4 out of his 6 seasons at Fulham probably would of been considered flops if happened here with 1 season being good and only one being great. Bringing in Dempsey really isnt a wave of a magic wand id be really worried if it happened based on Fulham we have a one in 3 chance of him having a good or great season with 2 in 3 chance of a disappointing one. Could only see him here for 2 to 4 years that aint good odds.
My thoughts exactly but the guys I keep in touch with in Boston are adamant that this is a Rodgers request. So I did some baited questioning and noticed that most of the answers that came back pointed to Dempsey playing either as target man, in between the lines or as one of the midfield. Maybe this versatility is what Rodgers sees? But the Daily Mail says that Sunderland have put in a £8M bid to get him. The DM is hardly an outfit I’d trust but I can’t help but wish this was true. We value Dempsey at £4.5M, five tops and we’ve proven that we won’t budge.
Anyway, I am hoping that we get another version of Torres. About 6 feet, fast, good with both feet,decent in the air and just a natural born striker.
Suarez usually has to work hard creating the chances for himself outside of the box so much so that by the time he’s inside the box all his energy gets drained. Maybe Sahin can set him up with the chances. One possible reason why he scored lots of goal at Ajax was that he’d had a good working combination with Hamdoui.
Anonymous that all seems fair and I’ve got no problem with a 5 million deal for a versatile squad option Dempsey. But those going on about how great he is an need to play every week coz so much better than what we have will be the first to turn on him as soon as they see how often he wastes our build up play is wasted by his pot shots or start to criticize Rodgers for not starting him week in week out. Then can guarantee they will all be moaning if we do fork out 10 million.
Serious class act Suarez, this is exactly why we need to keep Carroll, everyone saw that as soon as Carroll came on Suarez looked more relaxed.
Take the pressure of him so he can get back into the zone, I hope these rumors about us selling Carroll are not true, would be a dam sham.
Please LFC stay away from Dempsey unless we only have to pay the 5M that’s his official value, if we were not interested at 10M then don’t see us paying much over 5M.
If we do end up selling sell Carroll or 15M, plus sell Adam for 5M, spearing for 3M and offload Cole to anyone (please!!!!).
Then assuming we get Dempsey for 5M we will still have 18M+ (Cole’s wage/fee) to sign a top quality striker which would be plenty, given that I believe BR already knows who he wants and the price.
Wouldn’t be surprised if we got a well known striker and a relatively unknown one as well.
Agree with Dreamer that I’d like to see Downing played as a left wing back, it could just be a natural fit?
Luis is a class act and everything a supporter could ask for from a player. Keep up the excellent work Luis.
I really hope that the club retains big Andy. He’s young, and he’s shown he wants to be here. Give him a chance.
Hope to see Morgan as a sub against Hearts to see what he can do when given a little more time.
All that being said, we need goals-in a perfect world Falcao or Cavani would already be on the plane , but Huntelaar would certainly be a good option.
I believe Suarez will score plenty WHEN or IF he gets proper support upfront. With Sahin in the team it can only get better. Not so sure about Assaidi – the dutch league is a lot different than the premiership – just hoping he will deliver almost immediately.
Well, I think he is right. Everyone that played lots of sports knows that luck is important. Would say talent, willposer and luck is all needed to score lots of goals.
I however like suarez better when playing on 1 of the wings. Noone in the league is better then him at what he does there. If we could get a clinical striker, like Huntelaar or maybe Llorente since i heard he havent been picked for athletic first 2 games(must be a reason, but probably on his way to somewhere else already).
Game against city was awesome tho. I was only pissed off for like 10 min after game for the giveaways. Thats how good they played. Last year I was happy if i still wasnt pissed off when next weeks game started.
Now I just hope Sahin gets to start tomorrow. Want to see him in a game. But Shelvey been great the games ive seen this year
Btw, about the luck/willpower/talent thing. Check some videos of the 2 imo best goalscores last 30 years, Fowler and Inzaghi.
