LUIS SUAREZ has left his prints over every goal celebrated by Liverpool so far this season.
Back on the opening day Uruguayan Luis Suarez had won, then fluffed, a penalty before making amends by registering the hosts' only reward against Sunderland.
Last weekend, after first forcing an own-goal, he proceeded to finish off Arsenal in stoppage time, then punctured Exeter's intent in midweek before presenting his team-mates with the two rewards that made the evening so comfortable.
Liverpool have scored six times in three games, with Suarez's personal contribution three goals and as many assists.
Yet if Bolton arrive at Anfield today convinced that stopping Suarez means stopping Liverpool, Kenny Dalglish will be dismissive of their gameplan.
"We were happy to sign Luis because we knew what we were getting," said Liverpool manager Dalglish. "We have been delighted with his contribution so far. But we are happy with the squad. We are stronger than last year.
The great thing at this club is that nobody thinks they are more important than anyone else.
"You get more success out of a team than you will an individual. Every individual is important and someone will get the headlines maybe more often than someone else, but people's contributions are measured in different ways.
"Pepe [Reina] by the saves he makes, the back four by the number of goals [they concede], the midfield either not losing goals or scoring goals and the lads up front by scoring goals. Everybody has a part to play.
The accusation that Liverpool resemble a one-man-band is not new; it was levelled at the club whenever Steven Gerrard would sprinkle a smattering of gold-dust on games.
However, the fact that the skipper will be back from a long-standing groin injury next month adds weight to Dalglish's view that Liverpool's campaign will not be reliant upon just one player.
Consider, too, that Stewart Downing has looked a threat in his early appearances, Andy Carroll opened his account for the season at Exeter in midweek, more is expected of Charlie Adam and Dirk Kuyt led the club's scoring and assist charts last season, and the points of attack are varied. That said, if Suarez finds the target against Owen Coyle's side, he will become the first Liverpool player since Robbie Fowler in 1993-94 to score in the opening three games of a league campaign.
A victory would also give Liverpool seven points from their opening three matches and equal their best Premier League start for 17 years, which says everything as to how they have stuttered and stalled in the opening straight previously.
Last season, under Roy Hodgson's guidance, Liverpool only reached seven points in their ninth fixture of the campaign.
"I suppose everybody is always looking for a little bit more, but we're happy with what we've got," said Dalglish, who is without Portuguese midfielder Raul Meireles for up to two weeks with a damaged collarbone.
While Uruguayan centre-back Sebastian Coates began his medical yesterday to seal an £8million move from Nacional, the exodus from Anfield is set to continue.
Christian Poulsen, who has been omitted from the Denmark squad due to his lack of football, revealed he hopes to leave the club before the transfer window closes.
Argentina left-back Emiliano Insua, who spent last season on loan at Galatasaray, is wanted by Sporting Lisbon.
