also, just as you accuse people of belittling him, you are belittling suarez in return. the way he has dominated the epl this year and dragged liverpool in the title race is remarkable. you cant shoot down another player in an argument to elevate the one you like.

benzema of lyon was a more mentally dominant player, as weird as it sounds given he was way younger. he was also much better physically back then, leaner, much much faster, and was consistently creating his own shot. he was just better in every way you can imagine, weird i know, i got weaker.

anyway, you are going too far into extremes as well. The team is doing a great job feeding benzema nowadays. The problem with him is, and has always been that off the ball his game isnt very accomplished. he is way more dominant when the ball is passed to his feet.

yes he whiffed most of them, now tell me a player that buries every clear chance? yeah i thought so doesn't exist next.

benzema of lyon was the primary goal scorer that it and he can still create his own shots even now if he wants, just not his job to do that since he is not the focal point

feeding him well nowadays? wont even get into that

anyway you have proven my point he was a much better and dominant player as focal point, just like any other normal player shocker

val everybody know your a noob be quiet and worship cr in the corner, marcelo still better than coentrao cause he is a better dribbler?  

Mr Nick09 wrote:No i think he was the better player in his youth because physically he was much better.

Not sure he can create his own shot nowadays just as well, otherwise he would be scoring many mores.

The point about him being fed in the clasico wasnt an indictment on his ability to finish, just an indication that even in big games, he is being fed balls inside the box. Which leads to my point about the team still feeding him because naturally, by his position, he is at the end of a lot of moves we create.

he just isnt a great scorer at the end of the day, and it's ok. he does other things that are valuable, linking up with other guys. Suarez is better because he doesnt only score, he also feeds the other guys around him.
