For me all three teams have excellent pairings but dare I say it the RVP and Rooney one is the standout for me. However goals scored and assists aren't always reflective of a team though. Look at City two arguably top strikers with great stats for both Aguero and "the beast" yet they've lost 4 away games already.

4times

Which game was that?

interesting question i guess allot depends on fitness but also city and united will have big cl ties after xmas so they may rest their strikers while provided they remain fit studge and suarez will play every pl game this season id say

Suarez has two assists actually.

Both for Sturridge, one at Newcastle and one at Sunderland.

I find Suarez and Sturridge simply too greedy to flourish as a pairing long term
Rooney and RVP are both world class finishers in my eyes and will finish ahead of the others if they stay injury free

Cheers righteous1, I'll update.

missed 5 games yet still top scorer

I think Suarez and Sturridge will get more, simply because they won't be rotated at all.

City and United will both have Europe until Feb at least, so will rest theirs occasionally with good back up available.

Our back up is pretty much nil, so if Suarez and Sturridge are available they will always play.

Good question op. its a coin toss really isnt it, suarez and sturridge both can create, score and have individual brilliance to score......on that basis id pick those; plus they have gerrard and coutinho to supply the bullets.

Believe me, coutinho is certainly not overated the guy is a genius. Wouldnt be suprised to see him in the brazil world cup team starting 11, hes got enough time to prove it.

But the emphasis is really on the striker force as apposed to the whole team in general.

Suarez and Sturridges record is astonishing.

Even moreso when you consider Suarez has missed half the season so far

Ahead of who? Oscar? Neymar? he won't get ahead of Oscar because off Oscar's workrate and won't get in ahead of Neymar because well, Neymar is on a different planet

I really like the Aguero/Negredo axis and I would have to say them.

Although I still prefer Suarez over both. Sturridge, whilst good, is edged out by every other striker on that list with the exception of Negredo, they are both different players who are both good at what they do. So I'd say they are equal.

Liverpool remind me a lot of Chelsea in 2001-2002. Not that great a team overall but have a top, top strike partnership.

A tad harsh Kings.

Our team is very balanced and we have, arguably;

The best 'keeper in the league
One of the best LBs
One of the best RBs
Good CB in Agger
Solid CBs in Skrtel, Sakho & Toure
Best ball winner in the league in Lucas
Most creative in Gerrard
Flair, dribbling, passing etc from Coutinho
And, uh, Henderson. Who to be fair adds that balance I was talking about with his work rate etc.

All allegiances aside I think as a pairing it has to be suarez and sturridge on current form. But here is the thing they don't compliment each other as some people would have you believe.

Rooney and RVP compliment each other more but despite the goals scored so far have actually not been as good as people are saying

I as a UTD fan would say that their form is actually worrying. Some of the sitters being missed makes me think they think so too

yesterday rooney got MOTM but for running around, in front of goal he was toothless. This may even be one of his ''patches''


Against Fulham LFC could have had 8 goals if sturridge was a more team player. Suarez tbf to him was only doing what he did when the game was dead and he was looking for a hattrick which in my eyes is fair enough. trridge didn't help him

man city strikers are a good combination of the above

This year must surely be your year then,if you think the above is a correct assessment of your teams ability

Im not saying you have a bad team craft (we didn't then either), but i still think you will need SAS on top form if you want to make the top 4 (a bit like we needed like wise from Jimmy and Eidur that season).

We still had Terry, Gallas, Cudicini, Lampard, Zola who are/were all very good, but we were still heavily reliant on those two being on top form.

Infact i see a lot of similarities between Brendan and Ranieri too, likes to play good football and is good in the transfer market.
