I was thinking about this a few months ago but during the Sunderland game a few days ago I really felt that Luis Suarez had just move in front of what Torres acheived in the eyes of me as a Liverpool fan.
Torres was a hero for me (sad maybe, i'm 27 now) and I always felt we had a chance when he was playing. Hit 50 goals in 70 games for LFC and many of them were memorable with a hat trick in consecutive games in 07-08. Torres was loved by Liverpool fans and until the final season and a half he was one of our leading lights.
Fast forward to January 2013 Luis Suarez has become a leader for LFC with his goals, workrate and bloody minded commitment to winning games for his club. He knows the fans love him and the club has supported him, sometimes through difficult issues.
His current form is fantastic and he is carrying the team forward and helping our bright and confident new manager up the table with something resembling a consistent patch of form.
I personally will not forget what Torres did for LFC and miss him still.
However.
Has Luis Suarez overtaken Fernando Torres?
Has Suarez now passed Fernando for LFC fans

We only dislike him so much now because of how much we loved him when he came.

This is so true.
Torres was like a girlfriend, Suarez is like a best friend.
You love them both the same but it hurts a lot more when one betrays you.

I agree with everyone. Im like the Switzerland of JA606, except for the hoard of Nazigold.

Didi, I also couldn't see Suarez giving less than 100% even if he wanted to leave. It left a sour taste in the mouth the way we gave Torres every bit of love even whilst he was going through the motions, before he sprung his deadline day surprise.

If Suarez stopped trying, I wouldn't know what to think. Mayan apocalypse possibly?

I'm not sure, I wouldn't be happy with the girlfriend going through the motions whilst playing for me.
