9 - Luis Suárez - v1

[FCB16]

Without him this team looks as toothless as Tata's Barca.

Especially with Messi in such questionable form right now, Suarez is our most important player by a mile.

Yep, he made the difference when we need him

Let's not exaggerate here.

People forget so quickly. Even with Suárez on the team, we have been playing below form and Suárez was one of those players.

Of course the chances of us scoring increase but the team won't all of a sudden play better with him back on.

 

[Lelouch vi Britannia]

That's precisely why we need him so badly. We can be playing badly, even he himself can be playing badly individually, but there's always a chance of him scoring a golazo out of nowhere. That's exactly what we need to win games where we play like shit.

Luis also many time playing badly but the point is he will make other defenders work around him which will make space for others to score. Munir don't have that type reputation that defenders will provide special attention to him.

MSN have very proven goal scoring record which will create space for one or others.

 

[FC B]

Barca is totally dependent of the Suarezito type of attacker when facing this kind of sides as Real at Anoeta or ATM which have a very solid and organized defensive play, are highly intense and motivated and and rarely let any goals in.

 

[blaugrana1987]

Suarez played like shit in last few weeks as well. People forget how bad he was in Clasico. He was missed surely, he is fucking class, but we are going downhill as a team. Not one player is playing good, even bravo looks loke shit

 

[SeloBarca]

Like people said before, MSN can all play like shit, and has played like shit, but Suarez can score goals out of nowhere anyways.
Munir/Sandro is not capable of the same.

 

[TornAndFrayed]

Him and Raki have been rested ahead of the return leg.
My only fitness concern is Busquets.

 

[FC B]

Alba was also rested. Iniesta played only one half.

Alba was also rested. Iniesta played only one half.

Yeah, but at this stage of the season, I don't think the fatigue issues can be solved just by resting a match or half. Hopefully I'm wrong.

 

[FC B]

I guess this depends widely form case to case even in the same team.

 

[evilhita666]

Suárez is awesome, but it's funny how he becomes our most important player when he doesn't actually play, hahaha!

 

[FinBarcelonafan]

Yeah, but at this stage of the season, I don't think the fatigue issues can be solved just by resting a match or half. Hopefully I'm wrong.

I agree. At this point it can be mental as well just as much physical. Mind can only take so many competitive matches in one season. It's been brutal schedule for Barca for too long and we dont have as good bench as Bayern or Real. We need more quality players, to play this many games and keep up decent level. Let's hope we make it through Atletico!!!

 

[serghei]

I put most of my trust vs Atletico in this man. Not Messi. Not Neymar. SUAREZ.

 

[Devils]

^I'm the same.

Suarez has a lust for blood that none of our other players have. If anyone can grab this game by the throat and win it for us, it's him.
