Rightly or wrongly Luis Suarez has come under fire this season despite Barcelona’s unbeaten start to the season that sees them four points clear at the top of La Liga going into the international break.
Suarez has managed just three goals and one assist in eight La Liga appearances and Paco Alcacer’s double against Sevilla will surely prompt some calls that he should start in the Uruguayan’s place when Barcelona resume top flight action against Leganes.
According to Opta, Suarez is falling well short of what is expected:
The 30-year-old is clearly out of form and we’ve also been told he has a cyst on his knee which seems to be hampering his performances.
