Joe Allen Suggests Liverpool Are Now a Better Team Without Luis Suarez

Liverpool got off to a slow start this season but are currently enjoying an 18-match unbeaten run.

Their recent performances are giving fans of the club that same feeling of invincibility that they enjoyed for a spell last season when they came so close to winning the Premier League. 

The catalyst for that form last season was of course Luis Suarez, who scored 31 goals in 33 Premier League games on his way to winning both PFA and FWA Footballer of the Year awards. 

However, the Uruguayan left for Barcelona in the summer, but while Liverpool midfielder Joe Allen admits it was initially tough to cope without their talisman, he says the team are now playing at a different level.

He said, as per the Daily Mail: 

"

At the start of the year we talked about how losing Suarez was going to have an affect but now we have overcome that. 

It took us a little bit of time to overcome that because the injury problems we had were not ideal.

We are certainly back up to that level and if anything with the different system we play this season we might even have taken a step forward.

"

Liverpool are currently in sixth position in the Premier League table and remain in both the Europa League and the FA Cup.
