I laughed out loud when I saw last weeks decision against Norwich - that was absolutely ludicrous!

Clear dive.
lol from that angle it looks a pen. If you watch it side on you clearly see Suarez stop so the defender runs in to him. Maybe that's still a pen but it strikes me with Suarez that he concentrates more on trying to get a pen than holding off the challenge and shooting at goal. Maybe because his shooting is so piss poor he'd rather have the pen.
Suarez is certainly not world class. To miss the target as much as he does is not world class.
He is bloody good though, no doubt about it.
Oh and does anyone at Liverpool have the balls to tell Suarez to stop bloody diving?
Fergie did it with Ronaldo and he went on to be a better player.
It annoyed me that Wenger didn't tell Eboue to cut the crap sooner.
seriously, clean your glasses. he shapes to take a shot then gets an elbow in the neck!
28 in 62 ain't too bad for a midtable side.

The Norwich one of course he's slowing down, the ball was 3 foot above his head. And actually, if you look at it (and the position he was in) he's pulling his foot back to shoot. That doesn't absolve Bennett from fouling him twice in one go- elbow and a trip.
I don't think he tries to get a penalty every time, but he tries to take players on too many times. He'll go past them then turn and try it again, which is infuriating considering we can't score for fun. But he isn't afraid of shooting either, because he will take a shot from ridiculous angles where he has no chance of scoring, again like yesterday. His decision making when it's time to shoot is terrible I'll say that, because when he just hits it one instinct in normally scores/forces a good save.
He's much more of a playmaker than a striker though. It's only because we have no one else that he plays that role, and time playing in Holland counts for very little either.
The elbow comes after he's already going down. The defender goes into the back of him because Suarez deliberately stops as he knows the defender will inevitably clatter in to him. So technically I suppose it is a pen, I just don't know why he doesn't just shoot instead of doing all that.
28 in 62 is good but seeing as everything goes through him his stats should be more like RVP's to be considered world class.
Oh and if he wasn't a diver I'd love to have him at Arsenal.
He slows down because the ball is bouncing from 3 foot above his head. Unless you expect him to run past the ball.
He pulls his leg back in order to shoot and gets clattered, tripped and elbowed.
It's not "technically" a penalty. It is a penalty.
