KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Seems like EPL defenders have Suarez figured out

He used to be able to use his moves to get by everyone but he would either miss the net or hit the woodwork. Now much more often than not the defender isnt fooled and Suarez just loses the ball.

He still skins players. If i was playing Barcelona i would know for a fact every single time 100% what Messi is gonne do... Stopping him is the thing.

Im not sure about that. Suarez hasnt be leaving plyers in his dust as much as he did when he 1st hit the EPL. Now he is losing the ball alot more.

Maybe. But i think Suarez will get better when the quality of the play around him gets better, actually not worried so far this season no joke i think before the first 5 i wanted 7 points but i realise they were tough and i do think in our next 10 games 20 points is a realistic target IF we gel. But if we lose to Norwich Saturday we could have a problem we need this win to start our season.

I think he had more space before. When we play high possession upfield, the opponent's half gets conjested and our half opens up. Barca has Messi, Xavi, Iniesta, Pedro, Villa, Tello who can all beat defenders even compact, not us. Even Barca found it hard when Chelsea this year, and Inter the year before parked the bus. We have only 2 players who can do that, Sterling and Suarez and the latter is also supposed to score. Not easy.

I didnt mean to come down hard on Suarez. He certainly needs more help. His style of play though is that of a man who is usually intent on doing it alone.

Agree, he would be a much better player if he raised his head a bit and passed the ball when his mates are in a better position.

Its natural, players arrive on the scene and terrorises defences for 6 months or so until the other teams learn about him, watch clips and study him. As someone said its one thing knowing what he will do and another stopping him, he needs to keep the ball better and put the ball back in the net in order to continue his rampage.

he still gets past players. he might just be getting tired since he hasnt had a break since the 2010 world cup
