I agree with people saying to either sell or turn him into a super sub. He has no competition and he’s no longer in his prime.

We need to have a younger player as a front striker. The actual Suarez is nowhere near the ancient Suarez of 2012... He is now so wasteful, his technical touch is garbage, his dribbling is not existing, he can't jump and score headers against ParkTheBus defences, can't run as he doesn't have speed, can't score goals in UCL competition (shameful stats in the last three years).
I think we should buy a younger speedy player who can combine with Messi and attack spaces (style of Mbappé) or a strong tall striker who can play headers perfectly and can hold the ball and win it under pressure (Eden Dzeko). It's really very important if we want to build a strong squad for the next season.

Anti-everything
he was one of the main problems tonight offered absolutely nothing going forward.
He was just standing still and barely making any runs and the half decent chance he got he fluffed.

Unless some coach can make him press again and up his passing and ball control there is now way we could ever see something similar to this seasons Ajax at Barcelona.
He can still score a lot in la liga, it's not like he lost all quality but he just isn't the beast he was 5 years ago anymore and his weaknesses are a real liability now. Not the biggest problem on the team, but the one who probably has the safest spot out of all of them and that's a problem.

He has been like that since 2016 started. And slowly it is apparent that he is a just a finisher and attack creation needs to come from elsewhere.

Not really - if Barca wants to play modern attacking football again - it simply doesn't need a "front striker"...
Needs a versatile player who can also create, who is speedy and changes positions all the time.
Liverpool's example clearly shows that path, as even without their two best strikers, there were still at least 5 players able to create chances (and it stands for the first game too).
A "strong and tall striker" - as you put it - is something that needed the least...
You need unpredictable and multi-functional players in order to to build up again.

Suarez still does some "classic 9" things quite good. He is annoying for defenders, can bind CBs to free up Messi a bit more and still scores a lot overall but that just isn't enough anymore.
He isn't fast and skilled enough to move around and do something different, passing him the ball under pressure often means the end of an attack etc and on top of him being slow he also either lacks the stamina or is too lazy to press the opponent these days.
On CL level this really shows. La liga isn't as intense and opponents are usually way worse so he can still score a lot because it's easier to create chances but vs the toughest opponents it isn't viable. I don't think it's a coincidence he is doing so bad in CL compared to la liga stat wise. A CF that scores some goals less but adds more to the team as a whole would be way better imo.
Idk who to bring in though. Ideally it's someone young and fast, that can score and create while doing his share defensively. So pretty much a perfect striker would be ideal who would have thought
Although i don't like Griezmann i almost start to think he would be a good fit, with another coach that can build a more flexible, mobile front 3. Not perfect but it's not like there are countless options for world class attackers.

He was genius at Liverpool but sadly he’s declining unbelievably fast now .
He’s Messi’s best friend and untouchable.
He’s not fit , he’s overweight .
