Interview with Luis in the Mirror tomorrow.

Luis Suarez was the man expected to need time to settle when he and Andy Carroll arrived at Liverpool in a £57.8million double swoop in January.

Yet he hit the ground running, while Carroll is still struggling to find his feet.

Suarez’s dazzling form for Liverpool is in total contrast to Carroll’s woes and the England striker has found himself in and out of the team as he struggles with injuries and inconsistency.

While some Kopites mutter under their breath about the wisdom of spending £35m on Carroll, Suarez still believes he can come good.

He says the big Geordie has been unlucky and insists they can still make their partnership work for Liverpool.

“Playing alongside a player of Andy’s quality, who’s big, skilful, who brings the ball down so well, makes it easy for a striker to play with him,” said the Uruguayan.

“What happened though, was that Andy had the bad luck to be injured for several games and when he came back from that, he picked up another injury. It was difficult for him to get himself into the team because just when Andy came back, the team was playing well and the manager didn’t know who he could drop.

“Now having trained and after a good pre-season for Andy with his team-mates, the more training sessions we have together, he will be better.

“We’ll get a much better understanding of each other and that can only be good for the team.”

Suarez, 24, instantly replaced Fernando Torres as the fans’ Kop idol and his four league goals and two assists do not come close to illustrating how important he is to Liverpool.

He is so happy he says he wants to remain at Liverpool beyond the five-year deal he signed when he arrived in his £22.8million switch from Ajax after previously admitting a wish to play for Barcelona.

“I’ve just started a phase of my career which I always dreamed about and wanted to do, which is to play for Liverpool,” he said.

“I have five years left on my contract and I think beyond that, I’m already thinking about staying many more years at Liverpool.

“It’s a club I like. I feel very good about being here, about being in the city.

“I feel very pleased. It would be difficult to match the atmosphere, hunger for success and glory that this club has at another team.”

Suarez’s pledge is a massive vote of confidence in Kenny Dalglish and the South American wants to repay the Liverpool boss’s faith in him.

He says he can barely understand Dalglish’s Glaswegian accent with his limited English, but has picked up enough to understand how highly he rates the new custodian of his famous No.7 shirt.

“The truth is there’s not much conversation with Kenny because of the language barrier, which makes it hard for me,” Suarez added.

“But he is the one who has given me confidence. He was the one who had confidence in me. He was the one who said ‘I want Suarez’. That sort of belief is something you repay when you play.

“When a coach gives you confidence, you can give your very best back.

“If you don’t have faith in your manager, it’s very difficult to play well and I think Kenny has a lot of confidence in me.”

Suarez shares Liverpool’s hunger for the Premier League and says it is his “little dream” to win the title.

He accepts that isn’t going to happen this season and feels a more realistic target is a top-four spot and a Champions League place.

The former Ajax star is desperate to play in Europe’s elite club competition and says not playing in the Europa League this season can help Liverpool achieve that goal.

“I do not wish to belittle the Europa League and I do think that Liverpool should be in Europe,” said Suarez, whose nickname is El Pistolero – the Gunslinger.

“But I think not playing in the Europa League this year will really do us some good.

“We can really focus on the Premier League and move up the table as high as we can.

“We always dream about being Premier League champions, but we know it’s a very difficult league to win.

“It’s very competitive and a lot of teams want to become champions.

“But I think we have a quality squad. We trust in our manager and we trust our team-mates.

“We’re confident in our ability and Liverpool can aim to finish in the Champions League positions.

“And there is always that dream, that little dream, about actually winning the Premier League.”

Suarez has said in an interview whoever's found to be guilty must apologize the other regarding Evra's accusation... I'm liking this... :eyebrow

It shows that he's confident he will be cleared and also to ensure Evra wouldn't get away with this easily...

Now what the feck is the FA doing? does it take this long to investigate? how long does it take to review all the video footage and the ref's report and interview the players who was on the pitch? is it because they don't want Evra to look like a fool and waiting for things to blow over?

The FA have got their head in the sand as usual, as with the Old Trafford abuse of Bellamy.

Close your eyes and it will go away.

Suarez reminds me of the kids who play footie in the street. He just loves playing football and trying his best.

Scores 4 and hits the post against Chile, a very good team. He's capable of finishing, let's just hope we see more of it for Liverpool
