Can Norwich stop Suarez getting a hattrick tomorrow? Can they keep Liverpool under five? I'm not confident.

Tom Cleverley: Manchester United?s Midfield Enigma

Sounds like he might be a victim of the 'never the same after a bad injury' syndrome that has affected so many sportsmen.

Suarez has just the four goals with a little time remaining.

Oviedo baby, oviedo ooooooooooohhhhhh

Suarez with another long shot V Norwich, I remember a half way line goal by him in 2011/2012 against Norwich as well and that time he also got a hattrick.

It's his third consecutive hat trick against Norwich if I'm not wrong. Best of the lot. He was immense today, and so were Stevie g and coutinho.

He's scored 11 goals in 4 games against us. For some reason he loves playing against us.

Just Luis Suarez embarrassed at how good he is.

Ha football is a funny game, a lot of people have written off Bendtner, but if he can build on this performance and be a useful back-up to Giroud, along with the return of The Ox & Pod - Arsenal shud take the title.

As much as I would like arsenal to win this time, I keep feeling there's a slipup waiting to happen which would allow Manchester city to capitalise. If Chelsea ends up 2nd or higher, it'd be a miracle, or great business in January.

Well done Everton for shutting the utd fans for good.

Seems so, as the article mentioned since that injury he hasn't been playing those incisive forward passes that he showed in the early part of the 2011/12 season, that got many excited about him.

whatever. it doesn't really matter.

martin samuel writes a lot of strongly worded nonsense on non-issues. i doubt he even cares at all about this.

"scored two goals in the Merseyside derby to ensure a 3-3 draw, in a game Liverpool would probably have won otherwise."

lol at this statement, too. absurd.

"Everton will be below strength, minus Lukaku, at Stamford Bridge just as they were when Chelsea went north in September. Justice was done that day with an Everton victory"

that has absolutely nothing to do with justice.

Ha well admittedly i'm now reading it & well while i had never had problem with loaned out players playing versus the parent club when such matches occur - i guess i won't mind if they could play.

So you saying the next time your Everton plays Chelsea, it won't bother you that Lukaku can't play then?

no, i mean, obviously i'd rather have him and it's a bit annoying we can't play him, but they are the rules.

it's entirely fair, as any of the richer sides could loan players out like chelsea. it doesn't really benefit any of them over each other.

sameuls suggestion of suspending the player for following 2 games if they don't play against the parent club is just daft. it's dangerous territory when the league authorities start dictating what team line ups should be, like mccarthy being fined against united for fielding a weakened side. Most players who get loaned out are generally young, you could make a dozen reasons for young players not to play a match beyond not being fit.

It could also set up conflicts of interest.
