Suarez is bigger then LFC and can do what he wants. Suarez made it known that he wanted to leave at the start of last season, he said that there was an 'understanding' that if they didn't get CL then he would be allowed to leave. Suarez was banned for biting Ivanovic put he wanted 'assurances' that he could leave if LFC didn't get CL, something that was less likely with him banned. Incredible really. Talk about the tail wagging the dog. He was saying to LFC, you've got no chance of getting CL, without me, so 'I'm off'. 'I can't go now as I'm serving the Ivanovic ban but if things are as bad as I think they will be, then I'll go in January if not then, then in the summer'. LFC started the season and by the time he came back from his ban they were doing well in the league. And by Christmas were top of the league, so no need to push for a transfer in January.
LFC were doing well and Suarez was banging in the goals, he was under no pressure whatsoever so didn't need to resort fully to his 'normal' diving, cheating biting self. They were winning matches and in the title race. There were hints that he hadn't changed and was a 'reformed' character for instance the dive to 'win' a pen against Villa springs to mind. The pathetic arm in the air, 'I'm seriously injured' against Norwich but gets up and runs 100 MPH to get the ball. They were struggling in that game so he thought' 'I need to do something'.
This 'I need to do something to win' is central to him as a player. In the Derby the other season when Mirallas was terrorising their defence Suarez thought, 'he needs stopping and no one is doing anything about it'. Suarez came back for the only time in the game and 'crooked' Mirallas with a snidey 'foot left in to rake the ankle'. Mirallas was taken off at half time and we were less of a threat. The same with the achilles rake on Distin, who was giving Suarez a tough time and Suarez was ineffective. It is premeditated.
Last season everything was going well for LFC and Suarez. They were champions elect, had beat City and Chelsea were out of the title race. He didn't need to do 'something to win' as they were winning. It was all 'we go again'. This all changed with Stevie me's slip against Chelsea and presenting Demba Ba with a goal. Their title hopes dented but City still had to win their games in hand. There were still the 'guards of honour' and Suarez was banging in the goals and gets voted player of the season.
When things are going his way then there is no trigger that sets off the, 'I'll do something to win', he doesn't resort to trying to injure players, pullling hair, poking players in the eye, kicking them in the stomach, flying two footed lunge or raking achilles etc.. The RS dominated media tried to convince the world that this showed Suarez was a 'reformed character'. Nothing could be further from the truth. The Great Capitulation at Crystambul was a devastating blow to LFC and Suarez and he was inconsolable.
They lost the league and he immediately let it be known that he was off to Spain, which was a major factor in him 'cleaning up his act'. This 'dream' move may now be at risk.
Suarez is at the World cup, get beat in the first game without him but beats England so can progress if they beat Italy. But the Italians are sitting back and even though they get a player sent off are still not really troubled by Uruguay. The pressure is immense. Suarez isn't having much influence on the game and isn't playing particularly well and it looks like they are going out.
Ping. The pressure cooker inside him is at bursting point. He feels that like at Crystambul, he's going to lose, and he explodes. The pressure is to great to handle, inside his head he's thinking, I need to do something' and he resorts to the one thing that will not get him sent off, biting. He knows this will unsettle the Italians and particular, he was hoping Chiellini would react and get sent off or lose concentration. Which is premeditated. Uruguay score from a corner and go through, job done. The end justifies the means.
Suarez was never a 'changed' man. It was RS dominated media bull that they were selling to the world. Like the, no LFC player will be blamed for England's abysmal wimpish exit from the world cup, LFC will not be at fault for what Suarez did with Uruguay. They are trying to peddle the 'he was alright with us and responded to our help and our sports psychologist' but, 'it's all gone wrong with Uruguay because he is not under our influence but under theirs'. They are peddling the 'it happened on international duty' so the ban should be international only.
The RS are scrapping the barrel in offering excuse for Suarez, not the first time and it certainly wont be the last as long as he stays. I think they were resigned to losing him but thought, 'we'll get £80 million' for him so will have loads of money to spend. FSG were also rubbing their hands at the thought of £80-£100 million. But it is the worst of all worlds for them. His price could tumble or he wont be transferred and will not play until Novemeber, denting their chances in the CL and the Premier league.
Suarez's 'I'm bigger than this club' and his behaviour has come back to bite the RS on the backside and they have become more of a laughing stock. Long may it continue. There is one thing that is certain though and it is that when the pressure is on Suarez will bite again. He showed no remorse for biting Ivanovic, something the FA commented on in their report, and has showed the same this time. Why should he change when he has been backed by LFC with a t-shirt over his racist remarks to Evra and backed to the hilt when he bit Ivanovic and now backed to the hilt, with legal threats by the Uruguayan FA and the President as well as LFC.
