Snitches on Tom Hagen
He's had about 6 or 7 utter mares then scored stuffy goals.
How does his work rate change he fact he's racked up his goal tally with hat tricks against Norwich etc when the game is won easily? It was used a stick to beat Berbatov with but not for Suarez. He's overrated.He works about 100x harder than Berbatov. He had a bad game today, I think he's allowed a few. Overall he's had a very good season in a mediocre squad.
Suarez will always cause problems for teams through his movement and work rate. I don't know exactly who Suarez has got his goals against but he's got 1 vs City, 2 vs Everton, 1 away at Chelsea, the first goal at Arsenal, the first goal vs Spurs this season.How does his work rate change he fact he's racked up his goal tally with hat tricks against Norwich etc when the game is won easily?

The benefits of playing for a midtable club.Suárez has scored in 15 of his 31 league starts this season. He scored one goal and got no assists in 8 games in November/December, or one goal in 660 mins.
Van Persie has scored in 14 of his 27 starts (or 15 of his 30 appearances). Van Persie's scored 1 goal and got 2 assists in the last 645 minutes.
Yet people will tell you Suárez has been the more consistent of the two this year because he's never been as "poor" as van Persie's been recently...
Now now! Don't go upsetting Jamie tightpants RedknappIt'd be wrong to see Suarez win all the awards. They used to say Andy Cole needed 5 chances a game to score. Suarez takes that to a new level.
In fact, it'd be embarrassing if he didn't win the golden boot considering the amount of shots he takes every week. It's up to RVP to sort his goal tally out now and put Suarez down to a moral victory in second.
There was a thread posted the other day to show how teams would perform without their top scorers and there was little difference for Liverpool. Now obviously that is very simplistic and doesn't tell the whole story but it goes some way to showing that he gathers his goals in big victories. Much like Berbatov was accused of. Berbatov causes teams problems too. They do it in different ways.Suarez will always cause problems for teams through his movement and work rate.

In that very thread that is shown to be nonsense TBH. You mention the hattrick against Norwich earlier, that was a 2-5 win, with no hat trick they would have drawn. Someone else pointed out RvPs braces "resulted in wins" while Suarez's "didn't matter".There was a thread posted the other day to show how teams would perform without their top scorers and there was little difference for Liverpool.

That's why I said it was very simplistic. It also doesn't factor in the effect of how scoring extra goals kills a game. I just made the comparison between the two and it's something Berbatov was regularly criticised for. Point is Suarez has failed to deliver as many winners and big goals as a player rated as he is should be.In that very thread that is shown to be nonsense TBH.

I fail to see what is wrong with scoring a brace in three 3-0 wins, then scoring it in 3-2 wins is grand. It's the defenders not managing a clean sheet that make the difference there, not the braces or the strikers scoring them.
He was inches from scoring. I wasn't fuming.One moment of play summed up Suarez brilliantly today: he received the ball close to the corner flag and went to take on two defenders. They showed him down the endline, which he took, and then he actually tried to score by shooting from this position. I couldn't believe it. Now before somebody comes along and posts the goal he scored at Sunderland last year, I couldn't care less. It was selfish as feck and if van Persie, Rooney, Welbeck or Hernandez had done it, I'd be fuming.
When was this?Ignores genuine goal scoring opportunities to attempt nutmegs. It's ridiculous.
I wasn't crying. Just thought it made you look like an idiot.This is why I laugh when people start crying over any of my criticisms of Bale. In this thread you have the polar opposite, everyone desperately trying to play down Suarez' achievements because unlike Bale, you can't sign him and you hate him anyway
What the?!
He's being persecuted by the English media.

What a bunch of meanies. Leave Suarez alone.
In Uruguay, slyly punching someone is an action of endearment."Suarez is being persecuted by different football leagues, mainly the English, and we think this is unjust because it's a normal action in football," Uruguay FA president Sebastian Bauza is quoted as saying on South American governing body CONMEBOL's website.
They should get RAWK involved if they're going to use (still) photos to prove his innocence."We will defend him very strongly. We are working with all the videos and pictures showing Suarez reacted to an initial aggression from Jara."
Translations are a bitch, see my post above for something closer to what he was referring to. It's not normal, it's not legal, but it's part and parcel and happens regularly enough without FIFA doing bugger all about it.In Uruguay, slyly punching someone is an action of endearment.
