Luis Suárez

[ChesterDave]

Less than 24 hours and evidence of a hand gesture by Suarez is all over the media, 7 week after he is alleged to have racial abused a player on at least 10 occasions there is still no video evidence. How peculiar.

IMO we are expected too much from Suarez, there is nobody else to take the game by the scruff of the neck and try things. Stevie had this burden for so long, Torre lifted it a bit and now it's back to Suarez. I just hope he doesn't burn his legs out like what happened to Stevie and Torres.

Suarez is a class footballers who really needs better players around him than we currently have in our attack.

I don't think we expect anymore from Saurez then any of the other players at the Club. Its just a shame the players around him are not as good or as committed and determined as him to give 100% busting a gut every game.

[frank the tank]

I agree with posts about Suarez's workrate and ability - it's genuinely top class and we are lucky to have him. However, a few points:

1. Maybe if he stopped throwing himself on the ground every 2 seconds, then he might actually get a free kick / penalty when it should genuinely be awarded....

2. He needs to learn to shut up. Talking back to refs, and arguing with linos aren't doing him any favours......

3. How stupid was he to give Fulham fans the finger last night. Stupid idiot. He needs to keep his head down and under the radar while this other case against him is on-going....

[Slinky Skills]

Just a few things I'd like to say, just my opinion here.

Does anyone feel that Suarez maybe isn't helping himself here?

I mean gesturing at the fans wasn't maybe the wisest of moves considering he's already in the **** for racist abuse.

Another thing is he is turning into a bit of a fanny of late, fair enough he's taking some knocks but he needs to get on with it.

Over the last few weeks he's been going to ground far too easily when he could be stronger. He then whinges like ****, this is only going to make things worse. He'd get more support from the ref's if he tried to get on with it and also opposing fans would perhaps give him some more credit and wouldn't be on his case all the time.

If he didn't play for Liverpool - he's the type of player I'd hate.

When he intentionally handballed on the line in the World Cup - I despised him for that. He's a brilliant player with a lot of passion and heart - but a bit immature.

I hope that Kenny can sort him out.

Dont blame him for getting frustrated yesterday to be honest. It's open day on him every time he takes to the field, whether he goes down easily or not, he cant win. Plus the general bull**** last night was enough to test the patience of a saint.

[Rabiosa]

Has he been banned for 2 games?

Nvm, turns out to be bullsht rumours

ATTENTION MAINSTREAM FOOTBALL WRITERS: Here's a quick rundown of "offensive gesture" incidents to help your write your Suarez stories properly:

9 May 2011: Manchester United and England player Wayne Rooney is photographed and videotaped making a clear V-sign toward Chelsea fans. FA decides not to take action.

17 December 2007: Chelsea and England player Ashley Cole is photographed making a clear V-sign toward Arsenal fans. There is no immediately available record of the FA taking any action.

19 January 2010: Manchester United and England player Gary Neville is photographed clearly extending a middle finger toward Manchester City's Carlos Tevez in full view of fans, at the end of a heated local derby. There is no immediately available record of the FA taking any action.

There's the hard part done for you. Now do your jobs. Find out whether Cole and Neville were punished -- Cole for doing precisely what Suarez is accused of, Neville for doing something similar and surely no more excusable.

If you find that they were indeed punished, then inform us, and demand the same for Suarez.

If you find that they were not, demand equal treatment for Suarez, regardless of the fact that he is your pantomime villain and does not play his international football for England.

[Zapater]

Regardless of everything this is something very avoidable which we don't really need, Suarez less so.

When he did that in the WC I said that thats exactly what I would have done had I been in the same position. I suspect the vast majority would say the same.
