New signings Jordan Henderson and Charlie Adam scored their first Liverpool goals in a 3-1 victory over Bolton in the English Premier League on Saturday.
Henderson, who joined from Sunderland, struck in the 15th minute at Anfield after Jussi Jaaskelainen parried a volley from Stewart Downing.
Former Blackpool midfielder Adam whipped in the corner that Martin Skrtel headed home in the 52nd.
And Adam got on the scoresheet a minute later when he finished off good work from Dirk Kuyt by firing low past Jaaskelainen.
The win gave Liverpool seven points after three matches - the same tally it took seven matches to hit last season.
''It was a pleasure to watch,'' manager Kenny Dalglish said. ''We got the result because we worked hard, played together and played for each other. To lose a goal at the end maybe puts a dampener on it for 40 seconds or so but that also says a lot.''
Despite not scoring for the third straight match, Suarez produced an electrifying performance.
''His movement is brilliant, he's always moving and always looking to get in behind,'' Henderson said. ''He's a nightmare for defenders.''
Downing was similarly full of praise for Uruguay's recent Copa America winner.
''We all know he is a top player,'' Downing said. ''He creates things and he scores goals too, he's had a long summer but it doesn't seem to be affecting him.''
Bolton struggled to cope with the pace of Liverpool, which took the lead after 15 minutes.
Suarez crossed into the box with the outside of his left boot and Jaaskelainen reacted quickly to keep out Downing's volley.
Kuyt was first to the loose ball and fed Henderson who, after his first effort was blocked by Nigel Reo-Coker, fired firmly into the top corner.
Bolton almost grabbed a spectacular equalizer moments later when Chris Eagles crossed for Martin Petrov but Jose Reina parried the Bulgarian's tight-angled volley.
Liverpool upped the tempo with Suarez driving forward and Kuyt almost diverting in a low cross in from close range.
Suarez then broke clear and coolly lobbed Jaaskelainen but the ball dropped just over the bar.
Both sides were forced to reorganize midway through the first half.
Bolton sent on Mark Davies after Fabrice Muamba went off before Liverpool right back Martin Kelly, who missed the closing months of last season, left the action to be replaced by Skrtel.
Suarez delivered another dangerous cross but Kuyt volleyed straight at Jaaskelainen from a Downing flick-on.
Kuyt then went close from long range before Liverpool appealed for a penalty when Gretar Steinsson handled as Downing tried to flick the ball past him.
Replays, however, backed referee Lee Probert's decision to give a free kick just outside the box and Henderson's cross was cleared.
Liverpool maintained the pressure after the break and within moments of the restart Suarez was clear again.
Suarez, with countryman and prospective new signing Sebastian Coates watching in the main stand, was involved in the action that led to the second goal.
He was bundled off the ball but Adam picked up possession and had a shot deflected wide. The Scot took the resulting corner himself and delivered an inviting cross for Skrtel to double the lead with a thumping header.
Adam got on the scoresheet barely a minute later as he finished off good work from Kuyt.
It almost got worse for Bolton as Suarez rounded Jaaskelainen but shot into the side-netting.
Some of the gloss was taken off the win, however, when Petrov troubled Carragher and Klasnic tapped in a stoppage-time consolation.
