Liverpool legend Robbie Fowler is backing Reds striker Daniel Sturridge to be the man who will make the Liverpool faithful forget all about Luis Suarez following his sale to Barcelona for £75 million.
Despite the loss of the clubs leading scorer Fowler is adamant that Sturridge can step up and lead the Liverpool attack saying to the Daily Star: “He’s got that chance now, to go out there and prove to everyone what we already know, that he’s a great player.
“We know he’s been a shining light since he’s been here but now he’s got even more of a chance.
“He [Suarez] is a great player, but no-one’s bigger than the club and we all know and accept that.
“We all know he’s a phenomenal player, but Liverpool as a club, they just go on. Think of all the players that have gone in the past – great players – and they’ve always adapted and gone on to do well.
“When Ian Rush went, someone came in and done a job – obviously I came in after Rushie, I forgot about that! I come in and done alright, then Michael [Owen] was there – he was always handy as well; you’ve got Fernando Torres who was brilliant at Liverpool. He leaves and Suarez comes in and does an unbelievable job.
“Now all of a sudden people are saying ‘what will we do?’ but Liverpool as a club will always go on. Whatever team Brendan [Rodgers] puts out, they’ll all be singing from the same hymn-sheet and wanting to do well.”
