Alexis Sanchez

[Gnidrologist]

Such a scrub against any semi decent opposition.

Some bad touches coupled with some brilliant football at times. Great player nonetheless. Should have had an assist and a goal if not for the best keeper in the world wearing United's jersey.

 

[serghei]

He has 2 goals and 0 assists against top seven teams.

That from 13 goals and 7 assists.

Against bottom six he has 7 goals.

If you think thats all bad luck because of his team mates fair enough.

Luis Suarez was also pretty sub par against the better teams last season. It's normal. The tougher the opposition the tougher it is to make a difference.

Last season against the top seven teams Suarez scored 7 and assited 6.

The only top team he didnt produce against in terms of stats was Man City and he destroyed Kompany in those games anyway.

Edit: Scored 6, assisted 7.

Surprised Wenger didn't play Giroud and Alexis they have been good together. But Wellbeck paid off for Wenger!

 

[TotaalVoetbal]

Still maintain getting rid of him and replacing him with Suarez is the best decision the club has made. The most overrated Barcelona player in recent memory.

Luis is better in damn near every way imaginable.

Its not just that Suarez is a better player, the team *cough* Messi *cough* is playing better with a real CF.

We must've been watching a different Luis Suarez

There was a lot of talk about Suarez not performing in big games, that is true, but it was mostly because of his not so amazing number of goals against the top teams.
Suarez is obviously a better fit for us and a better player, but the hate Alexis is getting on here from some people is ridiculous.

Again 69 % passing accuracy. Dude is delivering the sex consistently.

He didn't perform well against Chelsea, both times. Went missing in the title decider also, when Liverpool lost the title at home. Surely you don't count 7th place United as a top team last season. Or Arsenal, who got beaten 6-0 by Chelsea. City and Chelsea were by far the best teams in the league along with Liverpool, and Suarez had sub par performances in all 4 games IMO.

He was very very good vs the big teams
I watched the chelsea match and the title decider.
Apparently to some people you need to score a brace/hattrick to have a good game, you dont score, you are shit

The same could be said of messi in the past few seasons. We barely found him scoring in the very late stages of competitions. So i guess he was poor in those

The discussion was about stats. And Suarez had 0 goals and assists in 4 games against City and Chelsea. For the record, I don't count saved shots as an assist. Actually, many people on english forums noticed Suarez has built his stats on the back of scoring a lot in the easier games, see Norwich x2.

All player will have more stats in easier games but against the top seven in the league last year Suarez has 6 goals and 7 assists.

There is no doubt Suarez was better against the top teams in the league than Sanchez has been.
