Luis Suárez

Sorry but I always said and thought the following thing. This guy can be the greatest 9 in the world and also the worst. His first touch when he makes a pass in a small perimeter is absolutely awful. His game yesterday was so wasteful... bad, bad and bad.

I still love him but I don't think that the club took the right decision when they extended his contract for so long. I'd give him another two years and replace him with a 24/25years of age striker who's at the top of his game.

Wasn't poor as some others were.

Yes, he was. Had the best chance and bottled it. Something he usually never did in big matches.

He wasn't clinical and all his actions were bad decisions. That's not down to bad luck, but bad form.

Can someone remind me why this guy isn't on his way out? He's world class at some things, but he simply cannot be in a team that wants to play off him in small spaces. A ball at his feet is a lost possession 4 out of 5 times. Now, it seems, his only redeeming qualities, finishing, is gone too. For some magical reason he's still considered the best striker in the world. Why not cash in on that while we can? I would much rather have 60 mil than a pretty goal every other game when we're already ahead.

You nailed it. This is why I think that Suarez is not the best striker in the world. He can miss sitters and make unbelievable goals at the same time.

This is my issue with Suarez as well as Raki. Long extensions for players about to hit 30 or already there is idiotic. At best we give Luis 2 seasons, probably the rest of his peak, and then extend on a yearly basis while we invest in someone younger like Mbappe or Dybala. We've tied ourselves to him longer than we should have.

I expected the usual Suarez bashing to happen after a defeat and I'm not disappointed. But really people, the problem is not Suarez. His quality is undeniable.

The real problem is the midfield. Everyone complains about how he misses the one big chance he always gets in the big game. But therein lies the very problem! HE ONLY GETS ONE BIG CHANCE TO SCORE. With a better midfield, he would get more chances.

Imagine if this guy played with a more competent midfield. Imagine if he played in RM or Bayern. With the amount of chances their midfielders create, Suarez would be scoring a hat trick every week.

Juve conceded only few goals in entire CL this season and Suarez is somehow expected to bang few. :facepalm:

He's easy our best player this season after Messi as he's been last year or year before that.

Yes, he was expected to convert that great chance he had. Not a few, but that one. It doesn't matter if he's the 2nd best, yesterday he was poor.

If neymar missed that, you'd be criticizing him to no end.

The long contract are not really an issue i think because it makes shure the club can get something for the player when he leaves. The issue is more the high wages for the players when its not shure they are worth it though Suarez probably is.
