KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum pampered superstar on sunday

Points per match is a much better criteria to evaluate the importance of any player for a team than results over 2 games, I hope you know that.

Saurez is a top top player anyone who says otherwise is talking bol*ocks. Without Saurez we would be stuffed evertying up front happens through him. He is not the best finisher and I have long said he is best as a support to the main striker. The fact we don't have a proven finisher at the club is the fault of FSG not Suarez

It makes total sense to base a conclusion on a super limited data set. Two games should be plenty to judge the effect a player has on a team!

Next time I'm working with a client, I'm going to suggest similar methods, since it would make the job of our analysts much easier!

why should we buy a striker to score enough goals for himself and to bail Suarez out because he's not doing his job himself by scoring enough, Why not bring back Jay Spearing and he can play in between Gerrard and Allen and they could both bail him out because he does'nt do enough of his job either, we can go on and on with other positions too if you like, play Carrager in between Skirtel and Agger and they can both cover his ineficencies.

When Suarez was bought he was supposed to be the forward support of our then best striker/poacher Torres not our centre forward to replace Torres. As Torres left he was the next best thing as a striker. Don't think he will ever be the 20+ goals a season striker and was not supposed to.

he was brought to play up front and score goals, he does'nt score enough goals wether as a main striker or support striker as some claim, either way what he brings to the table is nowhere near good enough, he needs 7 chances to score 1 goal and in the Premier League your hardly likely to get that many chances.

Without him very often we won't even have the chance.

How do you know what he was bought for? Only the people who bought him know that, so no one can say for certainty. As far as i (and apparantly most other ppl on here) see it, he was bought to create chances and set up Torres, whilst chipping in with a few goals himself. And he is chipping in with a few goals, but he's got no one else to set up atm so he cant do the main purpose he was signed for.

I wouldnt pay too much attention to what he 'knows'. He recently said Sheringham was inefficient and 'bailed out' by Shearer. Not sure he 'knows' much about football. Certainly needs the attention though.

Suarez might not be a super prolific goal scorer, but he should be good for 20 this year.
