Most of you will find this shocking but in my opinion, Suarez has not been in the dazzling form he was in earlier in the season, scoring goals for fun. I am not criticising him as he is making positive contributing to the team. Suarez has set sky high standards and I expect him to be scoring game in game out, such is the way in which he has spoilt us all. Having said that in the remaining three games, I have this positive feeling he will be the star in all of them. Scoring and assisting. He is a World class player and I can see him giving us the push to win the league. It seems like destiny for him and the club after all that we have been through.
He has missed a few shots but his work rate has never slacked. He also has two people following him at all times. There is a reason that others are scoring goals now. They aren't being marked as closely since everyone shades toward Luis in the oppositions defense
This is true - you would be surprised how many of us agree. But, as you noted and as Liverbird pointed out - he's still been a 110% menace in terms of workrate, fighting for everything, being dangerous etc. Sturridge has also tired a bit in the last month. Fortunately their "dips" have coincided with the rest of the team raising their game collectively. I also hope Suarez goes crazy the last three games...in a good way.
I think you would find just as liverbird pointed out, that their "dips" as you put it is the reason others have raised their game. Defenses are so worried about Luis and Sturridge that it's leaving huge amount of spaces for others to exploit.
is it Sunday yet???? (ugh - scheduled a brunch for 10:30a for my wife's birthday on Sunday with friends. Going to have to be rude and watch the game on my phone for the last 30 mins or so).
I think its why its important we bring in another top-notch striker this summer. The players are getting plenty of days of rest, but as we saw with Johnson -- even small injuries can really affect a player's performance. A couple weeks off can go a long way to bringing a player back to top-gear. I think the day we have a striker so good that Suarez is placed on the bench for a match, then we're really on our way to dominating the league.
So Ramires has until basically close of business today to respond to FA's violent conduct charge. Any clue how long the process is from there??? Would love for him to not be available Sunday.
And Hazard has been confirmed out. Regardless - Chelski will have enough quality to put out and Jose is a quality manager that will still have the players set out to frustrate us and hope to hit us on the counter and sneak a win. Fortunately BR will have the team ready regardless.
i seem to remember a match against them at anfield when they were focused on the CL at season's end and we trashed them. shelvey 30-yarder. that, again, please.
According to Fox (Europa League halftime show) Mourinho has received permission from the Board to start a "B" team. Let the bullshit continue. Also, Ramires has accepted his punishment and his Premier League season is over. asitis
A win here and a loss by citeh would leave us needing only a single point in our final two matches to guarantee the title. I'm a huge Palace fan this weekend.
Yeah, Suarez needs to benched! Is this the perfect time to play Chel$ki or what? Multiple injuries, sandwiched inbetween a CL tie and they're coming off a Sunderland loss. I hope Sturridge can play to really put the hurt on his old club. Is Moses ineligible?
I've been nearly worthless these last 2 months (yes yes nothing different than normal) - can't stay of forums, reading all articles, etc. etc.
Hardly a good thing for us. He'll play a rested, motivated "reserve" squad with enough talent to bring us down if we even think it's going to be easier than his A team. Mind games, all mind games with that guy. I'm not affraid of them, but I'd be alot happier if they were still very much in the title race. Then they could calculate with tactics and the squad... this way... we're facing a team of players who don't get many chances to play, and who know that the season is pretty much over for them, so they are care free. Either way, I have a strong feeling we'll be 3 goals up when they score their first one, and Stevie to put the 4th one in - from a penalty, just how Mou loves it!
