Luis Suarez - my flawed hero
« on: April 21, 2013, 08:22:12 PM »
Well what can you say after a game like this? In any other universe the headlines would be "Suarez scores 96th minute goal for 96 fans". But it isn't, sadly. For all the wrong reason Suarez dominates the headlines and I'm getting quite sick of it. Not for the things Suarez does, though he certainly does himself no favours at times. I'm sick and tired of us not fighting back and when we do, the only fighting is amongst ourselves.
The way I see it that no matter how ****ty, rotten, wrong or whatever adjective you want to throw to it Suarez is one of a kind and I wouldn't have him any other way. THAT mentality Suarez has is ****ing priceless. Especially so to a club as spineless as ours and has been for too long.
As a club, from boardroom to the U-10's there's an inherent lack of fight that can be attributed to not giving a **** about anything but yourself; the last years under Evans. The manager selling out; Souness. Through incompetence at board level; too many to count. And then everything in between. We, as a club, don't have a bullish belief that we should win and we should stop at nothing to achieve that goal. There have been a lot more people who have done a lot better job of pointing out why that doesn't come from the top down. With Ian Ayre in charge of running football affairs, owners who are halfway around the world who put their trust in a the manager to single handedly take on this Herculian task. So why is it even being discussed about even contemplating letting the only person at the club, who has the sheer raw determination to do it for them, go?
Even if there isn't cause and effect there seems to be an astounding correlation with the players who go above and beyond every game, every training session (hell I imagine Suarez does it when he plays FIFA too) and the players who win things.
