Who's gonna score more out of Suarez and van Persie?

And Suarez will be off in the summer if he knows what's good for him.

I think van persie tends to be more a dependable 1 goal/game. He gets a chance and takes it.

Suarez comes and goes in flurries. Creates so many chances..but sometimes can't put them away....

At this stage I'd gamble on suarez getting more, just.

Yeah, I won't blame him though if he does leave.....liverpool have to get 4th to keep him. Possible, not probable. Lets see what sturridge does, if we starts surging up the table I can see him staying.....possibly...maybe...hopefully...

Van Persie will score more for sure, but he isn't really that clinical. Walcott has a better shot/goal ratio (best in the League).

My perception is that even when persie misses, they're close/goal threats no matter where he shoots from, even with more adventurous shots compared to other players where they might not have attempted it/go WELL wide.

He's the best striker on the planet (other than Messi I suppose) but I was just saying he isn't as clinical as people think. He is often far too rash (power over placement) but when he places his shots properly he is as clinical as it gets. And luckily for him, he can produce so much power that you can forgive him for just hitting it.

There's so many contradictions in your post, I don't know where to begin?

This I can agree with, just.
In that I mean Suarez will finish the season with more (Premier League) goals than RVP. Despite less service.
If both players stay fit for their clubs, it'll be close, but like you say Suarez can bag a brace, or a hat-trick for fun, when he's buzzing.
Good player...vile individual.

Edit: If Suarez has any sense (which he hasn't) he'll be giving it the shoes and leaving Lollerpool first chance he gets, irrespective of where they finish.

That's what I'm counting on.

Also, he's stopped diving, think he's had a talking to/realised he wasn't getting anything. Think the same thing happened to bale too.

As for the negro thing. I don't want to defend it...bad, but relatively in his culture not as bad. He gets along with johnson fine, and he'll have to get chummy with sturridge too anyway!
