Without a doubt, Luis Suarez is a world class striker and is one of the best strikers in the modern game. His off the ball movement and tireless running are so crucial in Barcelona’s system. Having said that, the Uruguayan’s primary responsibility as a striker is to score goals and it’s exactly for the aforementioned reason that Suarez is on this list.

Suarez has scored only 3 goals in 11 matches so far and looks like a player short on confidence. Suarez has attempted 32 shots this season and a conversion rate of 9% is surely not befitting a striker of his calibre.

Barcelona needs Suarez to start firing on all cylinders if they harbour any hopes of winning the Champions League. The fact that Barcelona was ready to let Paco Alcacer leave on loan, shows the trust the management had in Luis Suarez, and its time he repaid their trust.
