I think and hope Suarez will be a good signing. We’ve needed a winger for about 15 years!!! I’m fed up of seeing Strikers and central midfielders playing out there (bentdner

"His dribbling skills are backed up by statistics, as last season he was dispossessed on average 0.9 times per match, less than Ramsey (1), Iwobi (1.7), Mkhitaryan (1.1) and Özil (1). Suarez also completed on average 1.2 dribbles per match last season, more than Ramsey (0.4 per match), Mkhitaryan (0.6), but slightly less than Iwobi who managed 1.5 dribbles."
"Suarez also has chance creation in his locker; over the course of his career averages 1 key pass per game, which admittedly is slightly lower than Iwobi (1.1) or Mkhitarayan (1.7). However during the last campaign Suarez created a lot of chances from out wide. He did this by averaging 0.4 crosses per game, compared to Iwobi’s 0.1 crosses per game on average. However this is still slightly less Mkhitaryan’s 0.5 crosses per match average."
So he's a bit better at dribbling than Ramsey but not Iwobi, also not quite as good as Iwobi with a key pass and not quite as useful at crossing as Mhiki. Don't you just love a good stat![]()

It was quite a "Wenger thing" to do really wasn't it? Bizarre decision tbh.northbank123 wrote: ↑Sun Feb 03, 2019 8:42 pmNot the kindest debut to chuck him on there when he is clearly off the pace through lack of football and we had thrown the towel in!
