You can dissect tactics, formations, movement, tracking, coverages, and all the rest endlessly, but sometimes football has a way of offering up a moment that defies all of that completely: an at once both simple and fiendishly difficult display of playground brilliance. A moment for dirt streets and dusty fields and uneven park lawns. A moment to just make you sit back, jaw slightly agape, the instinct to cheer and scream and yell forgotten in a brief, stunned instant, because what you’ve just witnessed doesn’t entirely make sense. Isn’t supposed to happen. Not in the toughest, most physically demanding league in the world.
Luis Suarez previously had a pair of sublime turns against West Ham, a match that saw few Liverpool players cover themselves in glory. He also had bright moments in earlier outings against Wigan and Stoke. Certainly he’s already confirmed in his brief time with Liverpool–despite a change of leagues and joining the club on the back of a six week ban–that he has what it takes to be a special player for the club. Still, as promising as some of his previous moments of individual skill had been, they were nothing compared to what he managed against United. And there isn’t really much more that you can say; isn’t much you can do to break it down. There really isn’t anything to do but watch it again, able to appreciate the sheer wonder of such a mazy offering of unlikely brilliance in the full knowledge of what comes next. So watch it again.
A full 20 minute Match of the Day 2 highlight package follows below the fold.

--The FA can suck it for pulling the top video. This highlight should be spread across the globe freely.
--Was that headed in anyway because of the infinitely nasty spin Suarez put on it, or because it nicked off Patrice Evra?
--Watching the celebration is a joy in and of itself. My unhealthy man-crush on Raul Meireles requires me to point out the moments when he tries unsuccessfully to stand on the adboards to get at Suarez, and then just ends up completely mugging him.NoelMeireles seems quite the fan of standing on the boards to celebrate. And time to try and find a third clip of that first goal--though at least from past experience that highlight package should stick around for a fair while.NoelHrumph, commentary isn't as good on this version, but it seems like it's all that's left out there of just that one goal.EdSent you an email a few minutes ago with a couple more links to videos, but in the seven minutes that's passed the parties responsible have likely already been arrested.redtrev73How good was Kenny when matron fergie's mate jeff shreeves tried to push him on carra's shocker on that nice boy nani?? The sky man must've felt like a bold child. Always nice to remind the cosy media cartel that The King may be classy enough to deal with their inane questions in a humourous way most of the time BUT you don't fuck with the guy or with LiverpoolFootballClub on his watch...enjoyed that almost as much as the result. Top man.YannSuarez is an honorary Australian. He’s that Warner Bros. cartoon character Taz, the Tasmanian devil, drooling with appetite, spinning with blinding speed, a juggernaut wreaking havoc upon anything in his path with his twists and turns. And with all those teeth they even look alike. El Tornado, we salute you.redtrev73Taz!! Love it!! I can see that sticking Yann!YannYes, it does seem a good fit, doesn't it? The lad is irresistible and has the makings of a legend, if he can keep from having his legs broken. I sense some crude tackles coming his way in the Premier League in an effort to curb his wily ways.cheekyfellowOh, and this
