COMMENT<\/strong> \u2018He was fantastic,\u2019 beamed Luis Suarez<\/a>\u2019s manager, as Kenny Dalglish<\/a> became the latest member of the Liverpool<\/a> family to wax lyrical over their star striker following an electric display at Craven Cottage.<\/p>\n Maxi Rodriguez may well receive the plaudits \u2013 a second hat-trick in three matches from a guy deemed an Anfield squad player is some achievement after all \u2013 but it was the Uruguayan who orchestrated Liverpool\u2019s 5-2 domination of Mark Hughes\u2019 men on Monday evening.<\/p>\n Donning the infamous scarlet red No.7 shirt, the former Ajax man stormed the turf in a display that will have evoked flashbacks to an era when Dalglish himself ruled the roost. His slick, jet black hair may be a contrast to charm of the rugged Scot of the 70s and 80s, but it was only these connotations of the modern footballer which seemed to set the pair apart in west London.<\/p>\n If Chelsea\u2019s \u00a350 million swoop for Fernando Torres, despite his misfiring form, is still regarded as shrewd business by the chiefs at Stamford Bridge, then the \u00a322.8m capture of Suarez is nothing short of daylight robbery.<\/p>\n Speaking after the match, Fulham boss Hughes \u2013 in what was merely a breather from his musings on his side\u2019s first-half capitulation \u2013 lauded the Anfield hitman as an \u2018exceptional player\u2019.<\/p>\n \u201cIf we dictate him then it\u2019s OK, but he dictated us today,\u201d Hughes continued. But in truth, and without disrespect, better defences than Fulham\u2019s will try and fail to suppress the tenacious 24-year-old.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Suarez\u2019s energy seemed to flow through the Liverpool ranks like a passionate current, and it\u2019s little wonder that he is already being compared to Manchester City striker Carlos Tevez.<\/p>\n His performance and passion were summed up when, after bewildering Carlos Salcido for the umpteenth time with a meandering run down the channel, Suarez jinked past Brede Hangeland before a classic moment of goal-mouth pinball eventually saw the ball drift to safety, to the ring of penalty appeals from the Uruguayan.<\/p>\n This was in stoppage time, with his name already on the scoresheet, and with Liverpool 5-2 up; sparking another chorus of \u2018I just can\u2019t get enough\u2019 from the Liverpool faithful.<\/p>\n Liverpool\u2019s transformation under Dalglish is well documented \u2013 with the club second only to the resurgent Chelsea in the form table \u2013 but the Anfield chiefs must secure the Scot\u2019s future and supply the funds to build a team around their latest Kop star.<\/p>\n The impact of Steve Clarke \u2013 Jose Mourinho\u2019s former No.2 \u2013 should also not be overlooked, with Liverpool having recorded eight clean sheets since his arrival at the club.<\/p>\n Such strong foundations – despite a defence which has included the inexperienced John Flanagan for the past five matches and Glen Johnson in an unfamiliar left-back role \u2013 has formed a formidable barrier in front of a revitalised Pepe Reina, allowing the likes of Maxi and Dirk Kuyt to bomb forward rather than track back, while Suarez offers all the class of Torres, with an energy so often left for captain Steven Gerrard to provide.<\/p>\n Only time will tell how thickly the Dalglish magic dust has settled, but should he be allowed to nurture his team further, and around the talented Suarez, Anfield could well and truly be set for another renaissance.
