Suarez doesn't go down as easily as he did last season - he's improved. But he needs to stop complaining about every bit of contact, because a lot of it is either legitimate or very hard to decide is worthy of a foul. I'm satisfied that he's not just falling over because he can anymore, but he does need to get back onto his feet a bit faster and let the ref do his job. It's true that they're not giving him enough benefit of the doubt, but that doesn't give him the right to complain about everything, and if they can see his attitude has improved he's more likely to get some of those decisions. Agreed.

doesnt bother me at all. He only goes down with contact. He's winning frees and doing the business up there. what would you prefer, having an honest joe who gives the defender a fair go of the ball? the defender who is pulling his shirt, kicking his heels and elbowing him in the head?

the problem is that it's starting to have a detrimental effect in that he's not getting freekicks for obvious fouls because of the doubt created in the referees mind by his constant appealing for everything.
It's fair enough to go down easily to avoid injury etc. but just get up quickly without waving arms around appealing for the free kick.

70% of them were fouls. He just has a rep now so people jump on it and notice it more.

Is it not part of football now? It does annoy me but if he is winning us spot kick etc. by doing it then so be it. Better that we have someone doing it to even things up when fouls are given against us when someone takes a dive.

you're a bit behind the times Armi... did you watch England out oi India? Never mind sledging the oppostion every 10 secs with some choice, colourful language, they were even sledging their own team-mates!  so no more tea and handshakes (except of the funny kind behind the scenes I guess  )

I think part of the problem is that he is up there on his own most of the time being hustled out of it, with nobody to pass the ball to so he just goes down. Having said that I notice that he plays very much as a loner with his head down and on the odd occasion when there is someone to pass it to he won't, he hogs it till he looses or goes down. Thats a bit of a weakness in his game I think.
