Are you saying Gerrard never dives? he's been caught diving many a time, What about N'gog's dive against Birmingham last season ?
If thats the main reason you have against signing one off the best strikers in europe then dexter i'v lost a little bit off faith in your judgement !
Suarez dives almost every game. So much so that even when he does get fouled most dutch referees don't give it anymore because they know him, like I said, his reputation is as bad if not worse than Robben's here in Holland. You can't compare Gerrard or Ngog with that.
And where did you see me write him off? I even said for 9 million he's a bargain. All I've said is that I've become less excited about him this season. And it's a bit early to call him one of the best strikers in Europe, maybe he will be, but he hasn't accomplished anything yet. I don't care if you have faith in my judgement but I've seen almost all his games in the dutch league for the past 4 seasons.
Just pointing out that he isn't perfect, certainly not the holy grail. And not just because of that, he isn't a target man for instance. And when he does play along another striker, it does need to be a target man for it to work well. He did very well with Huntelaar and Forlan. But he currently doesn't gel at all with El Hamdaoui, who is a similar type of striker. They're both selfish players, they often look down and don't look around them to link up, go straight for the goal even when it's not the best solution. And if things don't go his way then he gets extremely frustrated, to the point that the frustration becomes the main reason for him not playing well, to me that's been his main issue this season.
would you think he would be a success at Liverpool Dexter.
Yeah, he probably would be, kind of depends on his role I guess. Not too sure on him as a winger for instance in the EPL, his speed isn't that impressive and he doesn't give much width, and certainly don't expect any defensive duties. But in a more free striker role, maybe inside forward on the right, yeah I think he'd do good. As a lone striker I'm not sure, he might be able to cut it in the future.
