Neither suarez or coutinho get into our first 11 any more.
‘I’d play suarez ahead of salah’. Where? Right wing? Behave. Whether salahs form is poor or not, he’s essential to our system and the way we play.
Both suarez and coutinho improve our bench, so in that sense they make us stronger, but their wages are far too high for players who won’t walk into the first 11.
I’ve also never been keen on bringing players back who wanted to leave us. Didn’t want owen, didn’t want torres, don’t want these two.
Oh and anybody who says suarez wasn’t quick or it was never part of his game need to go and watch some YouTube videos and refresh their memories. Over 5-10 yards he was lightning. Quick nut meg and he was gone. He was also very quick in the press harassing defenders (like Bobby is now). In the last season or two he has lost that and has become more of a fox in the box type player. Quality never goes but he has definitely lost a yard of pace and isn’t quite the same player because of it.
