Sturridge scored SIX goals in his first five matches in 2013 when Suarez was banned..
This year he scored 4 in 12 EPL appearances (5 in all for LFC including an FA Cup goal) ... however he played only 753 minutes in those matches so just over 8 full games if you aggregate the minutes played... the metrics (www.squawka.com) say .48 goals per 90 minutes; which would extrapolate to close to 19 goals in 38 EPL matches. Extrapolation is dangerous, but he didn't show any negative performance without Suarez.
So does that answer your question?
