Im not saying he is world class anymore, no, the bayern games(for Barca and Atletico) shows he is washed up at the top level, he doesnt have the legs anymore.
But, for your everyday la liga game, against a low-sitting block? You can bet he is still valuable.
So, while Suarez out isnt exactly a mistake, you sorely missed a real number 9 today.
Him playing would take much needed playing time from our youngsters. This is a development year for us and I do not want any player taking time and confidence (with his yelling and cussing) out of the youngsters. If it was up to me I would also perma bench Busi, Pique, and heavily rotate Messi.
