He is weird with that. Same with missing sitters but scoring screamers.
Suarez can still hit 20+ goals but he should be a sub at this point.

Just a shame it looks like it's been directed towards a buffet line and not on a training pitch. He needs to shift weight.

Griezmann wasn't the perfect replacement. He needs one to play in front of him.

Suarez used to be a hard worker as well. Its only since last teo season that he seems kind of complacent.

Of course, but that's just because Suarez hadn't yet exploded. Not until his second year in Liverpool.
Let's be honest here, Cavani moving positions after Zlatan's exit would make no difference to who is better if Suarez would still deliver on his 2012-2016 form. The difference comes from Suarez' decline while Cavani is, more or less, still maintaining his level since his Napoli days.
Anyway, Cavani is quite irrelevant to the big picture of Suarez being a shadow of his former self. It was just a remark of mine, since they're both from the same country and I use to watch them quite often. In Suarez' case almost every game, obviously.

Ok. People here are overreacting as always. He by no means had a good game, but it was a decent one. I paid close attention to him since I watched the replay.
1) Buildup. Was very good, misplaced a few passes as always, but had some brilliant one-touch passes and was involved in almost all noticeable plays from us. 73% pass accuracy with 3 key passes.
1. big chance he created (around 31st minute), chip over the top for Dembele, Ousmane misses.
2. chance was a shot pass for Messi when he hit the post 2nd time.
3. big chance, another chip over the top for Messi, his assist.
Was also involved in creating Dembele's one on one with Pacheco.
2) His finishing was poor, couldn't control the ball Messi played to him (was it 2 times?). Also missed a one on one with Pacheco but also credit to the keeper.
3) Runs. Was very active, a few great runs which resulted in either promising plays or shots.
All in all, nothing worse than Dembele who's supposed to be top 3 performer last night.

Cavani would actually be the perfect striker for us at this moment, although he's not got long left at the top level. Suarez was finished at the top level already last season..
