Liverpool No2 Clarke: Defences do not know how to handle Suarez

Liverpool No2 Steve Clarke says Luis Suarez's unpredictability is his biggest asset.

Clarke has been impressed with what the £22.8 million signing has brought to the side.

"Unpredictability is one of his biggest assets," said the Scot, who only arrived at Anfield himself three weeks before Suarez moved from Ajax.

"As a defender you don't know what he is going to do, so it is difficult.

"When he is in the penalty area he attacks defenders, he gets at them and forces them to make mistakes.

"Defender's cannot over commit inside the box or they run the risk of giving away a penalty.

"It's a big, big asset for him and I think for defenders it is very difficult to play against."
