Luis Suarez

[Philby]

Came on in the the 70th minute today and scored two cracking goals. Still a fantastic talent.

He's clearly not performing at the same levels as his late LFC / early Barca peak.

But he's still pretty handy.

And much better than I thought he'd be at this age. I thought he'd struggle with his physique by 33 and go off a cliff performance-wise when he lost his speed over short bursts.

Really?

Always struck me as an intelligent player with a sublime first touch and an ability to use his skills to hold back Fr. Time. (I don’t mean beat time before anyone starts, no one can. just he’d have a slower decline than most).

I'd have to agree with Phil. I thought he'd get fairly porky, to be honest.

I see what you mean.

My thinking was such a big part of his game was being that split second sharper than his marker. Take that away and there's a risk he'd have to transition to a Sheringham-style role early on.

Plus he isn't the most fluid mover. Can look a little cumbersome relative to a smoother mover like say Martial, Mbapppe etc.

That sums up what I saw him becoming better than I did.

He’s one of the players of his generation. An absolute genius imo.

Well he’s been known to have an occasional chomp tbf.

He should add more "bite" to Atletico's attack though!

Me either. Any idea what it's referencing?
