#3 Luis Suarez’s trials and tribulations continue
Oh, Luisito. What must he do? Fitter than the start of the season, he still looked out of sorts and at one point I lost count how many times he was caught offside. AT one point in the second half, I remember him just letting it out on the linesman who was just doing his job.
When he did manage to beat the offside trap, he dwelled on the ball too long and lost the chance to make something happen.
Barcelona don’t have too many options on the bench to replace Suarez against the bigger teams, which sort of shows how badly the transfer window was managed. While they have wingers in Gerard Deulofeu and Denis Suarez, the two aren’t consistent enough, so naturally, Valverde doesn’t trust them to get the job done.
Suarez managed to end his goal drought against Leganes last week, but it doesn’t look like those couple of goals have given him any confidence. If things don’t improve soon, Barcelona should look at signing a good striker in January. If Messi is out for some reason, where will the goals come from?
