Please. Look at his off the ball movement. Especially in the first half. Suarez' contribution is very good, not an aberration.

A tale of 2 halves so far. Atleti look like a completely different team.

Dunno what it is with Barca forwards in their first season but their ability to finish evaporates Laughing

Happened with Villa and Neymar too, can't even say it's because he's out of position either.

Uh oh, I think Suarez is about to bite someone

by sportsczy Wed Jan 21, 2015 10:38 pm

he looks lost BC. I don't really see a whole lot of off the ball runs like you're saying... he's waiting for the ball to come his way and it rarely does. Suarez needs to reinvent himself with Neymar/Messi running the show.

Dives like a champ though Laughing

tbh, i knew he wouldn't get to score a lot because his shot opportunities would be basically 2 a game... he's not that kind of scorer. BUT, i was more interested to see how he participates in play. So far, it's not that impressive.

I don't think atleti should be accused of being a park the bus team, but today it must be said they are doing it

Do you remember what his finishing was like at his first Liverpool season? Didn't he have one of the lowest conversion rates in the league? This is nothing new for Suarez.

Is this Messi's first penalty of the season?

Also would that qualify as a penalty for harmonica's stats? hmm

We ask the important questions Hapless.

Bartra coming in for Iniesta. LE parking the bus Proud

Btw my stream freaked out during the penalty call, was it legit?

by LeVersacci Wed Jan 21, 2015 10:48 pm

Wide penalty goal imo.

Oh I remember all right, just a theme I noticed with first year forwards.

Messi with 12 back to back successful dribbles against Atletico. Very Happy

by Cruijf Wed Jan 21, 2015 10:59 pm

Is it just me or have Messi's pens got worse? He almost always goes to the right nowadays, and he's missed 3 of the last 4 apparently (counting some random friendly with Argentina).

by Hapless_Hans Wed Jan 21, 2015 10:59 pm

harmonica, was todays goal a penalty or a real goal?

by Harmonica Wed Jan 21, 2015 11:01 pm

Obviously missed penalty.

by M99 Wed Jan 21, 2015 11:04 pm

Messi intentionally missed the penalty and made sure he scored on the rebound to ensure he remains the GOAT in Harmonica stats Proud

by BarrileteCosmico Wed Jan 21, 2015 11:11 pm

Is that Messi's worst-ever goal? Open goal tap-in following his terrible penalty, which came following his terrible free-kick...
