2012 Liverpool Home – Luis Suarez #7 L

The 2011-12 season saw Luis Suárez wearing the famous Liverpool #7 shirt — a number previously worn by club legends like Kenny Dalglish and Kevin Keegan.
In the 2012 Liverpool home kit, Suárez established himself as the club’s main attacking star, despite a season filled with both brilliance and controversy.

🏆 Liverpool’s 2011-12 Season Performance (Worn During 2012)

• Premier League: ❌ Finished 8th place (disappointing league campaign)

• FA Cup: 🥈 Runners-up (lost 2-1 to Chelsea in the final)

• EFL Cup (Carling Cup): 🏆 Winners (beat Cardiff City on penalties – Liverpool’s first trophy since 2006)

• UEFA Competitions: Did not qualify

It was a mixed year — Liverpool won silverware but were very poor in the league, which ultimately led to Kenny Dalglish’s departure at the end of the season.

⚽ Luis Suárez’s Impact (2011-12 Season)

• Premier League Goals: ⚽ 11 goals in 31 matches

• All Competitions: ⚽ 17 goals in 39 appearances

• Key Contributions:

  • Scored crucial goals in Liverpool’s EFL Cup run, including in the final

  • Hat-trick vs. Norwich City at Carrow Road (April 2012), including a stunning long-range strike

  • Liverpool’s most creative attacking force, linking up with Steven Gerrard and Craig Bellamy

Controversy:

• Suárez faced an 8-match suspension in December 2011 for an incident involving Patrice Evra, which somewhat overshadowed his strong performances on the field.

Despite the controversy, Suárez’s on-pitch brilliance was undeniable — showcasing dribbling, finishing, and relentless pressing that made him one of the most dangerous forwards in the league.
