Default Removing Water Suckers

Hey everyone, I see all these threads about removing Sword Suckers to ensure both the mother and pup survive, and I also see the "Remove Water Suckers immediately". My question is, what method do you use? Do you cut them off at a 90 degree angle to the mother plant, or just clip them beneath the soil? I have two I believe are Water suckers on a Gran Nain I have had for 1 month and is only about 16 inches P Stem, possibly now a third, as a Sucker is coming up that is less than an inch tall.

I included pictures to see if I am right in identifying them as Water Suckers.
