Luis Suarez - Non LFC

[EwarWoo]

Thing that gets me is the amount of his assists which are gimme's vs the amount of his goals which he has to work for.

And you look at assists like 23, 9 out of 10 strikers would have took that on. Especially at his level. He's totally about the team.

**** Messi, best player in the world right there. But the 2 of them on the same team? I have to start watching La Liga.

He's never gunna lose his **** again. Winning stuff with beautiful footy. He'll be with Barca until he starts to slow down and has nothing to prove. Even at what they paid they got an absolute bargain.

Watching that video you would find it hard to know what his natural foot is. Imagine going for a bicycle kick with your weaker foot?! I don't think my mind word could work out the mechanics of putting which foot where quick enough.

The assist for number 14 is exquisite.

Some assists were great - but some hardly qualify. Passing to Messi on the edge of the box and him doing all the work should not really count.

For most players that goal will be in the top 3 greatest goals ever scored in their career.

For Suarez, I doubt that will make top 10 or 20.

Anyone see his nutmeg assist last night?

His goal was a meg as well I think.

What's Gareth Bale doing on that list? Should have Coutinho on there! Nice to see Firmino

I feel able to say this cos he's long gone, I'm over it etc, but the feeling remains - he is the most exciting footballer I have ever watched play the game and I feel sure there won't be a single footballer in the rest of my life who excites and thrills me more than Suarez did and still does. There are times - a lot of times - when I think I've completely fallen out of love with the game but I watch Luis Suarez play and I realise I haven't.

[Big-Red-Ed]

He's absolutely sensational. Not as top top as messi who you could argue is the greatest ever. But I actually think he is more unpredictable than messi and it's that that makes him so brilliant to watch.

Totally agree with that.

He was really one of a kind. We've had other great players, but with this lad you never knew what you coming! It was the amount of times I just found myself watching the game and laughing as he went about his business.

Interesting insight into Messi-Suarez-Neymar's off-field friendship & chemistry from El Pais - they have a Whatsapp group & secret nickname

Great lads! Neymar is growing on me I must admit.

I thought the question was "Who is the best player you have marked", not failed to mark!
