The departure of Suarez, which unfortunately coincided with a lengthy injury to Daniel Sturridge, saw Brendan Rodgers turn to Raheem Sterling, who was given the opportunity to fill in as a central striker.
The 20-year-old responded in perfect fashion, scoring ten goals to keep the Reds ticking over. While he still has plenty to work on in terms of his finishing, it should act as an encouraging sign of things to come.
While the debate rages on over his contract situation, there is little doubting that Sterling is going to become one of the world’s finest players, and the departure of Suarez has only served to highlight that fact.
