Of course he did. He turned into a world class player last season, confirmed by the £86m price paid for him. And the rest of our squad is not comparable to Real Madrid's.
The funny thing is, I don't hear the 'one man team' jibes being poked at Liverpool this season, despite Suarez clearly being head and shoulders above the rest of their players. Suarez is winning Liverpool just as many points single-handedly as Bale did for us. Liverpool are loved by the press, and therefore will not kop cop the same stick we did last year.
