Luis Suárez

[Fredo]

Of course he doesn't. He's not even 'angry' on the pitch. He rants and moans at decisions but he just wants to win. He's competitive.

[Fredo]

Don't you think he needs some kind of help though? Maybe not anger management as such, but something. His behaviour the other day was a million miles from normal. If I did that I'd be freaked out enough to seek help

But you're a bit odd anyway so I guess you wouldn't

I don't think he needs any help apart from channeling his energy in more positive ways but the way he's been portrayed as some kind of guy having issues is hilarious.

The "anger management" line being trotted about lazily makes me laugh. What a load of ****e.

It's only been perpetuated due to wanting a smaller ban I believe. Way over the top. He's an angry, worked up person on the pitch, but does he really need anger management counselling? I don't think so

Do you not think? I think the anger and aggression is what makes him what he is. But I think it would be better channeled properly. Biting people and flipping off the crowds is not a good use of his talents. In fact all it does is restrict them.

Imagine if he had the same tenacity and desire to win without all the theatrics and play acting.

Anger Management is maybe the wrong phrase for it. But certainly some anger control is needed.

And it just sums up the media in this country that they think talking to him about a football issue is a pressing concern at this moment in time. Pretty sad really. I'm sure he got a few more mancs turning Tory now though

Absolutely, complete shower of ****e.

He bit someone but he wasn't angry? That makes a lot of sense.

You're in denial if you think he doesn't get angry sometimes playing football. He's a raging inferno sometimes on the pitch. We've all seen him look like he's going to kill someone when he gets subbed off, even when we're handsomely in front.

Don't get me wrong, I realise that intensity is largely what makes him so special, but he still needs some help in regaining control at times too IMO. We want him fit for every game, not banned for half a season as he has been in total now.

Wonder if Shelvey has seen the good doctor?

I think he needs to talk and someone needs to talk to him. But to say he needs anger management is wide of the mark and way OTT. I've never heard him have any issues off the field, and by all accounts he's a great family man. He just has a huge desire to win, at all costs. That doesn't and shouldn't constitute to people classifying him as angry and needing anger management.

The way they mouth off at referees, you could argue that a few Utd players eg. Rooney need anger managment too.

How many times has he kicked or done something nasty on the pitch? Bar this incident, I've never seen him once partake in dirty tricks with opponents. He dives, but that's about that. It's hard to understand I guess but he didn't bite Ivanovich to hurt him. It was a rush of blood in the head borne out of frustration - he conceded a penalty and we were chasing the game.

This Dr Peters is a sports therapist. Obviously he is going to be working on the sporting side of his game.

No one is saying he is angry off the pitch, its the opposite infact. But he does seem to have issues on the pitch with control. It is hard to ignore a 7, 8 and 10 game ban for a player. Plus this pending issue with Uruguay.

I know the 8 games was for Racism. But that is still a control issue for me.

You're kidding yourself again. He's not outright dirty, but he definitely knows a dirty trick or two!

Frustration, anger, what does it matter. What matters is that he loses control, for whatever reason, on the pitch and does something stupid. Then that stupidity causes him to be banned and miss numerous matches for us (now totalling 18 games).

I think that is an issue that needs addressing and I think some kind of therapy of some sort might help him keep control of himself, and keep him on the pitch. I'd say that's fair enough.

I think perhaps a latin origin sports therapist would work better with Luis. Unless of course Dr Peters is fluent in Spanish.

[Tee]

Suarez does what basically almost every Italian and Spanish defenders have done since the beginning of time. Its just that he is a CF and they are usually on the receiving end of these tricks, not the ones dishing them out!

I think I might need to go to him, if the likes of Cameron keep coming out with crap
