If your judging by trophy haul then he's nowhere near yet. But on an individual level I would say Suarez is more talented than Henry. The invincibles side was incredible with immense power and pace and some top individual players in it. Suarez has scored 30 goals consistently in a far inferior team. Although having said that our starting XI on its day could beat most under Brendan's system.
No, he needs at least two more seasons similar to the one he has had this season to be compared to Henry.

So Suarez is the better individual player?
Suarez is potentially closing in on a title with a team that had no right to be in the race
He's top 3 with Ronaldo and Henry in my humble opinion
Roopa, in my opinion yes. Henry was top class but the chances that Suarez fathoms for himself and goals he seems to score are outrageous. Different types of players though but Suarez still has some way to go to emulate Henry's success.

Firstly, the answer for me is no at the moment.
However, I think he's a million miles away. He has just equalled Henry's best goal scoring season in the premier league. At the present rate you wouldn't bet against him getting one more and breaking that level. You think he has to beat Henry's best ever tally twos more to even be considered comparable?
Seems harsh to me. Henry had longevity at a phenomenally high level, no question about that, but if Suarez carries this form into next year then I think it would be a very fair question to ask. He's had 18 months at an amazing performance level, another 6-12 months then maybe.

And Henrys were tap-ins?
Not really sure the validity of this point
D'Jeezus as I said in my first post Suarez for me has done it in a far inferior team consistently now for the second season in a row. 30 goals without penalties and despite being an idiot with his bans.
Maybe it is a slight bit of bias but for me Suarez on an individual level is better than Henry.
It was more the suggestion that Henry didnt create his own chances or score outrageous goals.
As a Liverpool fan you should remember Henry twisting your team in circles while scoring a wonder goal, one of many'outrageous' goals.
He is a player all want to sign.but heneeds to match Henry"s games/goals records.he could do it easily.

I agree. Do it for another year and why not. Both great players
That was just a description of what Suarez can do not in any way putting Henry down. Of course he could create chances but primarily he was more an out and out centre forward whereas Suarez is not. Hence why I always find comparisons quite tedious.
For example the difference being I could never see Henry lobbing the goalie from the half way line rather running with the ball at speed past defenders and slotting it into the corner. Suarez could do a similar thing but probably put it through defenders' legs instead rather than beating them for out and out pace. Obviously personal preference, for you it's Henry for me its Suarez.
He got a better goals per a game record than Henry ever had.
He averaging a goal a game this season.
What the best Henry averaged?

This point is nonsense. It's about how the system you play in suits you and Liverpool's super mobile frontline (probably with the best movement upfront I've ever seen in England) is well-suited to how Suarez plays. Playing in a better team with better players wouldn't necessarily improve you. Henry played with better players at Barca and Juventus than at Arsenal, but it was at Arsenal where he developed the right chemistry. Henry was also underwhelming for France despite playing with the likes of Zidane and the greatest generation of French players, who dominated the world and Europe.

You can't see Henry doing that cos you have a short memory. Henry had no shortage of finesse. This is probably the most underrated goal in the Premier League era. Better than half-way line volleys in my eyes for the sheer cheek and precision of execution - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cvl1lqUeowQ
henry was sublime what a player to watch in his prime, i remember he was so fast and it took wenger a while to get it to click, henry was oten thirty yards ahead of all the arsenal team and even then hed be skinng people and scoring that great finish across the keeper hr was so good at. But when wenger got the midfield runners to close the gap between them and henry he went up another level.
I lobe suarez and as a player hes in that elite bracket that henry was in but hes got to achieve more and rrmain at his current level to be comparable
