Here's the two stupidest bits of evidence people are using so far:

1) The Location. People against Eli being Liquid are using the game's setting as evidence. They say Liquid only ever mentioned being in Iraq and we know he was in England. The game is set in Afghanistan. This means literally nothing. For one, it has never been stated that Liquid never went to Afghanistan or any other place as a child. For all we know he could have been sent somewhere as part of his training. We also don't know how many settings the game will have. Metal Gear Solid 4 took place in a number of countries and for all we know, that could happen here. There's a lot of evidence to suggest that's the case.

2) Statements along the lines of "It must be Liquid, similar clothes and demeanour. We've seen a few seconds of the character, we don't know his demeanour. As for the clothes, many characters have worn similar outfits in the Metal Gear series, there aren't many items of clothes that are all that distinctive, basically high-tech suits, eye patches and bandanas. Anyone can throw on a jacket.
