9 - Luis Suárez - v1

[Alik]

Some say...

Athletic fans still boo Iniesta to date for a supposed dive 5 years back which was as clear a foul as it gets. Weird fans. Yesterday they applauded Xavi though so I give them that.

I don't know. With Iniesta I'm certain the real reason they boo him is his World Cup winning goal for Spain and the supposed dive is just cover although none of their fans will admit it.

I thought Iniesta is booed because some comments he made about San Mames?

doesn't iniesta get booed because he got a player sent of a couple of years ago ?

....All we know is...

He's called the STIG!

I think he will hit full stride when he has a man of the match performances, so far when he has scored he has being outshone buy his co stars ( Messi, Neymar ) I like forward to a game where we win say 2-1 and both goals are scored by Suarez, or a 5-0 trashing where he picks up 3. When that happens he will begin to feel like a star again.

This is the perfect of example of why we have the best attack in the world. Neymar and Suarez alone will draw a shitload of defenders, but Messi is literally an electromagnet. As soon as Messi receives the ball, three Bilbao defenders converge on him. Neymar is left with one man, who is actually more worried about Messi, while Suarez has a shitload of space. By the time the Bilbao midfielder advances near Suarez, it's already too late.

+1.

We couldn't be happier with Lucho. Here's a guy who came from a club where he was the main man, where he won the golden boot as a matter of fact, then seemingly when all to shit a terrible moment in his life professionally and personally with what happened at the world cup, and he is in a new club, league, everything and he can't find his scoring boot. A bit frustrating from his point of view. So what does he do?

He plays for the team every single match, running his ass off and racking up assists. Not once have i seen him be selfish, or become frustrated enough to affect the team negatively. He is handling it like a boss.

His attitude has been Impeccable. Way to go luisito. And yes our team is starting to pop it's head again in the Best Team in the World conversation, our forward line is so in synch and harmonious they'd make the three tenors jealous. For all ya'll Ray Hudson fanatics out there a my little attempt at football poetry

Agree.

Maybe he's even too much of a team player atm. Which isn't bad at all, but he could do better with a bit more selfishness - it's a confidence thing though.

His case is so similar with Neymar last year when he was trying to set up Messi and the others all the time instead of doing "his own thing". Even Neymar had this fifa-esque bad touch syndrome which Suarez occasionally has, and was fairly wasteful with his chances.

So at some stage I'm fairly sure we will see Suarez scoring goals like these,

But at first he needs to score a bit more consistently. Would love him to get a goal in the next two matches each for a start.

That goal should have left a mushroom cloud on the field.

It's not just the goals, Suarez used to walk past defenders for fun, which he has yet to do at Barca, the only thing he still does great at is that Suarez dummy and spin around the defender

It'll happen, it'll happen... just sit back and enjoy the ride.

There's less space to do it in La Liga.
It's been proven countless times already.

Suarez doesn't need space that's the point, his dribbling isn't like Bale kick and run.

He had a man of the match performance vs almeria. He came in and assisted both goals to turn a loss to a win

 

[Rapha]

Against Villareal for example, in the game, he is a poison for all defense.

 

[Hellsangel]

I love you man

 

[Alen]

Fans cheering his name after a Messi goal? Messi is definitely leaving now

 

[Barcadub]

Still can't score most of the time.

 

[anguy]

He has the problem when he needs to make quick decisions... But to tell the truth most of his todays chances looked easier, than they really were. That Iniesta shot-pass was too powerful and Mussaccio made great tackle before that Messi's close miss. Messi has problems with converting too and Neymar is anonymous.
