"Suarez can expose Man United flaws"



I have a say

Posted Wednesday, October 12, 2011 by ESPN

Liverpool legend John Alridge believes Luis Suarez is the perfect man to cut open Manchester United's defence this Saturday.

United travel to Anfield this weekend for one of the most highly-anticipated fixtures of the Barclays Premier League calendar in good form, having claimed six wins and a draw in their opening seven matches.

Liverpool have also started the season fairly well, and are currently fifth in the league, six points behind leaders United.

However, the Reds have the upper hand when it comes to recent form at Anfield, and Suarez was a star in last season's encounter, which Liverpool won 3-1.

And Aldridge believes the Uruguayan could once again prove to be the difference, having been impressed with his start to the season.

"Make no mistake, [United manager] Alex Ferguson will be very, very wary of Suarez this weekend," Alridge said on Liverpool's official website.

"He [Ferguson] knows his side have a lot of defensive flaws that can be exposed.

"They have been great going forward, fantastic to watch, but they are vulnerable.

"Even the likes of Basel and Norwich have shown that recently."

And Alridge believes Suarez could very well repeat last season's heroics, where he tore the United defence to shreds with his pace and skill.

"If Suarez brings his top form, Liverpool will be in a great position.

"He ran United absolutely ragged when the sides last met back in March.

"He made all three goals, and gave the United defenders nightmares all afternoon.

"Dirk Kuyt got a hat-trick, but Suarez was the star man."

Suarez has already bagged five goals and laid on three assists in all competition for Liverpool this season.

It has also been confirmed that Andre Marriner will referee Saturday's game.

The last time Marriner took charge of a game involving the two bitter rivals, he incurred the wrath of Ferguson after sending off United defender Nemanja Vidic back in 2009.
