Luis Suárez

[malvolio]

Serie A was very strong at that time a top 3 league

Serie A was shit. Inter peaked in 2010, through some very favorable circumstances. Juve was barely finding its feet after the calciopoli scandal, Napoli was shit and Milan was on the decline.

 

[LeeRomeno]

Both are great strikers and club legends, don't see any point in those comparisons, hopefully we still have not seen the last of Suarez, although i do think his days as starter are over.

 

[Barcilliant]

Eto was better in cl. You also have to remember that the defenders in Etos time were of a higher quality.

Suarez was a fantastic player but his cl record is mediocre and his away cl record is pure gunk. His motivation in cl has been shit since that treble.

 

[RevoTeller]

Etoo scored 37 goals in his last season with inter at 31. Tallying fat ronaldo 's record in Italy in one season. What the fuck am I even reading now?.. Etoo chose to quit big clubs for money, he went to Russia for money, in no way shape or form would etoo be slowing down after that magnificent season in inter 2010 2011. And no way he would look flabby and sick in his thirties like Suarez.

I don't know what are u talking about.. Straight outta wikipedia:

On 29 May, Eto'o scored two goals in the final of the Coppa Italia against Palermo to help Inter win 3–1 and taking his total season goals to 37, a new record high for him

Also for the two seasons with inter he scored 53 goals.

Thank you, at least someone who knows the facts.
But let me add something more: people here don't even have a clue of what they are talking about.
Eto'o 2010-2011 with Inter: 37 goals, 17 assists and something like around 100 dribblings completed in the season (top dribbler of the Serie A ahead of prime Alexis Sanchez).

17 assists in all competitions: only Ibrahimovic, Totti and prime Kakà had a comparable number of assists for a Serie A team in the last 20+ years

37 goals in all competitions: only Inter player in modern football to break pre-injury Ronaldo de Lima record of 34 goals in one season in 1997.

And all of this by playing with mediocre footballers such as Natalino (sadly, he even had to leave football aged 21 for heart troubles), Biabiany, Kharja, Pazzini, Ranocchia as regular starters of the first team. LMAO

The rest of good Inter players who won the Treble were or completely washed up (Maicon, Lucio, Motta) or broken/washed up (Milito).

Eto'o 2010-2011 was a force of nature carrying the whole team on his shoulders, absolutely nothing less than what supposed "prime" Suarez did with Liverpool in 2013-2014.
But obviously, thanks to the paid propaganda of the overrated EPL, ignorant people only know about the latter.

So, as a warning for everyone: don't spit retarded bullshi.t about Eto'o if you don't even remotely know what you are talking about.

yeah monumental season for eto'o at inter hits 21 goals in serie a while suarez's lowest full barca season in the league is 21

but i guess there is paid propaganda from la liga also

 

[Giginho75]

Literally no one doubts Suarez's career or past accomplishments. The criticism is about his current self. He's way past his prime.

I don't agree.
He was playing a wonderful season before injury.
I really don't understand all this criticism on this forum about El Pistolero.

Still one of the best in the world...
Sometime muddler, but always a great striker and always a danger for the opponent defenders.

Furthermore this season he came back to score also in UCL.
What do we want anymore? I really don't know.

I think you lost your memory, it was the weakest and lowest this league had ever reached !!

Eto'o had to be second striker to Milito/Pazzini, playing as a left attacker in the Neymar/Hazard position the whole season.
Because, you know, his role was to be the reference creative player of the team, whose task was to setup each and every offensive action of the squad.
Exactly unlike Suarez, who the only thing he has to do nowadays is to wait in front of the goal feeding balls from Messi.

Oh, and 2011 Eto'o destroyed Bayern by himself in CL, dominating them at the Allianz and bringing a finished team often playing with Ranocchia CB, Kharja main midfielder and Biabiany as an attacker to the QF of the Champions League, in which he scored 8 goals in 10 matches. Amount which, by pure coincidence, is equal to all the goals combined scored by Suarez in the last 4 editions of the CL by playing as a main striker in one of the top 5 teams in the world alongside Messi.

So please, do go on speaking about things you don't have a clue about. It's entertaining much like seeing your idol missing easy ball controls 95% of the times.

Suarez is one of the top assisters and scorers of the decade. Don't paint him like he's just a poacher scoring tap ins.

I know this very well, don't worry.
Suarez has been the best forward in the world since 2013, a fantastic player who could play center forward, second striker or right forward, much like what Eto'o did at Inter.

I absolutely wanted to sign Suarez back in 2015 because I thought he was the only striker who could offer an output similar and close to what Eto'o used to bring to the team.

I would gladly like to speak seriously about this player, but the total disrespect and ingnorance I read in these last pages about Eto'o's career, accomplishments and talent from Suarez's fanboys really killed the magic for me.

In any case, in the last two and a half years Suarez has been pure rubbish 8 games out of 10, stats don't tell the whole story: he may have scored 20 goals or assisted 15 times, for example, but the truth is that he killed and wasted more than double of those figures in terms of offensive actions/chances.

 

[messi2140]

My thoughts exactly. Suarez's first 2 seasons were absolutely amazing. Suarez also did his job in those Atletico ties and if it weren't for the abysmal performance of Messi there was a good chance Barca would have a b2b CL. After that he became a total non-factor in the CL ( which imo is the reason Barca bought Suarez). He also started declining after that in his overall play and the amount of attacks he killed just increased.

Skill and talent aside , Suarez has to be the most toxic player in past few years for Barca.

 

[Ernesto GOATverde Tejedor]

It is hard to defend his behaviour on the pitch but if we judged people by how they are when they play football, we ate not going to come up with many people we like.

Off the pitch he is known to be a fun natured family guy. Far more unsavoury characters in the game than Luis. Would love to share a glass with him, am sure he would crack me up. La concha de tu madre Luiiiiiiissssssssss

Preach brother. This.... Exactly!

 

[kattanib]

Etoo and Suarez are both great players but they are different. Etoo relies on his physical abilities and hard work while Suarez is more gifted and smarter but a bit lazier ... kinda like a Messi CR comparison in its own way

 

[kattanib]

Surprisingly as it is, Suarez is actually football smart. Thats how I perceive him at least. He tries to be in the right place; he is the kind of player who unaggressively provoke other players; he has great spacial awareness; he is highly adaptable as he played well under different teams .. I am not sure why the hate as we are lucky to have a player of his caliber in our squad.

I think people confuse two things: Suarez abilities; and the decision of relying solely on Suarez as our number 9 without rotating or substituting him with another player. If you have an issue with the lateral, then do not put your hate on Suarez but rather on the manager of the team. Don’t confuse these two things as one.
