Mark Antony Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Hard to watch that lmao. I don't think Suarez is underrated though. He is pretty much unanimously considered top 5. People forget Sturridge has been out injured basically the entire year as well. Honestly believe that has been just as much of a contributor to our dip in form than not having Suarez. Maybe thats just what I want to believe though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mme Erzulie Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 I guess what I'm saying is comparing him to Bale, Aguero and Robben is a bit silly. He scored 31 goals in 33 starts for a team that is clearly not as good as any of the teams the aforementioned play for. He was also the league leader in assists. Cue "flat track bully" criticism. *yawn* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gears of the Beast Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 I put Suarez 3rd behind Messi and Ronaldo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davrum Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Watching this has made me appreciate the wide variety of goals Suarez scored. There's tap-ins, headers, long distance screamers, free kicks, dribble raids, volleys, goalmouth scrambles, inside-foot curlers, solo runs, team goals, one-on-ones... I wonder if anyone can compete with him for range of goal scoring. Also, when you see the difference between LFC+Suarez and LFC-Suarez, you can't help but think that if anything, he might be underrated. Such ludicrous versatility. Between those goals and the mammoth amount of assists he creates the league really is poorer for his absence. No penalties padding out his stats either. ;) He's also used to coming back from his little holidays straight into big games. Between the reintroduction of El Canibal and Real being on fire during the week El Clasico is just ridiculously mouthwatering this weekend.

Alex. Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 "Little holidays"You mean his suspension for biting someone, again?Will be interesting to see whether he can actually score against a proper team this season or if he's just the flat track bully we suspect he is.

Will be interesting to see whether he can actually score against a proper team this season or if he's just the flat track bully we suspect he is. It's just a coincidence that he went on his little holidays immediately following his episodes of biteyness. It will certainly be interesting to see whether he can actually score when he's in a team full of other great players rather than Liverpool. Imagine how many he'd have if he had the shoulders of Yaya, Silva and Hazard to stand on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt that Suarez will get near 30 goals while competing with Messi and Neymar for chances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt that Suarez will get near 30 goals while competing with Messi and Neymar for chances. There is a chance of that. There's also the chance that Messi and Neymar, who each create a ton of chances for others, will enjoy playing alongside another player who creates a ton of chances for others. If you've watched Barca's #10 and #11 play together this season they're both fairly unselfish. I'm picking the new #9 will fit in just fine.

Alex. Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 LolOff to Upton Park today which comes with its usual rituals, i.e. there are no pubs within a mile radius friendly to people who don't speak an artful dodger/Dick van Dyke/Danny Dyer hybrid so its off the tube, quick march to the ground, then through the turnstiles for a pre-game beer and sing song Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raja Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Another matchday, another instance where I have zero idea if we're going to turn up at the stadium of light. Ah, city are playing away are they? Might tune into that one. Hopefully Jenkinson starts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah its an in and out job. Nothing around apart from pubs filled with extras from Green Street. Tube is a nightmare after the game as well.Arsenal is decent. Easy to get to, good away pubs, no need to queue for the tube afterwards (I just walk down to Angel).Edit: misread "WHL" as "west ham" for some reason. Yes - WHL is a total nightmare. Shit area, shit boozers, takes forever to get back to Liverpool Street afterwards, shit ground, expensive tickets. Going to Tottenham is horrible.

Inigima Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 While I am a little sad that it only happens when we play a team that expected to thrash us, I am very excited that West Ham's match is actually on proper television this week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
