Former Red Craig Johnston gives a frank and honest opinion of Luis Suarez and Fernando Torres - “I know it will be controversial and cause a bit of a scene, but it is my opinion......Suarez is the best player to have ever worn a Liverpool shirt. My great hope, and for the sake of Brendan Rodgers and the club, is that the Liverpool owners do everything possible to keep Suarez. He is something very, very special. “My assessment is based on what he brings to the team. He gets 5 per cent more out of the other players whenever he is on the field.” “Look at the contrast between him and Torres, who I call ‘the incredible sulk’. “He was supposed to be our Golden Boy but he carried on like he never wanted to be there and like the other players were beneath him, like, ‘I’m not going to run for the ball because I’ve got blonde hair and I’m too pretty and I’m a superstar’. “When Kenny Dalglish came in, he got rid of him and brought in a guy who was animalistic about getting at the ball, winning it, going for goal and then trying to score or set up a teammate. “It was the most amazing transformation of a football team I have seen in my life.” On Suarez, Johnston added - “What he did was unforgivable. But the people who crucified him have to understand the passion of the guy and his determination to help Liverpool win. Nobody has ever played with such passion and desire in English football, let alone for Liverpool. If we lose him, I think we’re in trouble.”
