#3 Luis Suarez's early poor form

Sevilla v FC Barcelona - La Liga
Suarez had a very poor start to the season

Barcelona entered the season amidst a lot of difficulties. They started the campaign slowly, finding it very difficult to reproduce the kind of performances they are well known for. To add to their problems, Uruguayan striker, Luis Suarez hit a very poor form and was a mere shadow of himself in the opening stages.

The striker was miserable in front of goal scoring just thrice in his first 14 appearances for the club. That was his worst start to a season since he joined Barcelona in the summer of 2014.

His poor form meant that the club found it difficult to score. Even though Lionel Messi enjoyed a prolific campaign in front of goal, it was a very big burden on the Argentine maestro. He carried the team single-handedly on his head, dropping deep to arrange team play and moving forward to put the ball into the back of the net.
