I was at Suarez’s debut. Stoke at home.
Looked massively unfit following his ban. Still was massively best player on the pitch.

Just his full season?
I think Wirtz has looked ok - he’s been making a lot of really smart runs that his team mates just aren’t acting on.
Also, I really wouldn’t downplay the fact that he’s yet to play with Gravy AND Mac or Dom in midfield with him - that all makes a difference to defence as well.
It was hard not to see what Bobby and Suarez brought even if they were not shitting goals and assists as soon as they started.
Most players would be happy with Suarez' first half season with us as their career peak though. You can hardly call it a failure. Its just Carroll came in at the same time and shit the bed so bad that we didnt have anything to celebrate.

Well… it sort of is a team game.
More like, everyone will look better in a settled side when they’re all on the same wavelength.
Please remain calm - it’ll be fine.
He's absolutely fucking shite.
He’s not in form at all is he, taking that extra touch or hesitating.
Should have just given him a one year contract and made him work for an extension again 😉.
I’m sure he’ll be fine and in form again soon - no need to panic.

Yep not his best game. Got better in the second half but snatched at a couple.
Best thing he did was let Dom have the free kick and he tracked back a lot after the goal.

Well isn't the exchange rate about 1.20? So that would make it nearer £320k instead of £400k, so yes I'd give him a pass on 2 mistakes a match for that.
Nah. A 1 year and he goes on a free. Now we'll get £100m from the Saudis or we'll keep him out of spite.
You know we’re not selling him to Saudi, ever… right?
I’m feeling good right now and you say that. Prick.
It's too early to tell, but this may be the first time since he joined that we have sufficient attacking options to match his output, and not miss him so much. He isn't at his best, but he was still heavily involved in the winners in the first two games, hopefully we can wean ourselves off him a bit with Ekitike, Wirtz and Isak once they settle.
After Afcon? Unlikely
Yup, it's expecting too much, but tbh i can't see his form hugely picking up before it
Doesn't he usually play poorly after the AFCON?
We have to be clear minded about this if his form continues to deteriorate whilst we skew our system around him. He’s been an absolute legend and true unicorn player but the common defence on here of ‘it’s ridiculous to drop the best player in the league / at Liverpool’ is sentimental, subjective bollocks. He simply isn’t anywhere near that on form right now and is at an age where deterioration is inevitable at some point.
He deserves time and respect, but he’s currently playing like a 24/25 Chiesa and if it continues, we’re simply skewing our system unnecessarily and not playing our best eleven at a time when we’ve got a plethora of top quality young players.

The problem is, whos the backup RW? 25/26 Chiesa
Depends on the system, we’re not wedded to a 4-3-3 or 4231 especially with Isak joining.
As I’ve said elsewhere (and before the Newcastle game), I’d prefer to play Szobo in front of Frimpong on that flank in a 4231…we’d be infinitely better defensively and arguably (right now) at least as effective in an attacking sense.
