Well any player is going to score more against worse defences. It's not really telling. Surely that's obvious? The fact he scores less against better teams is in no way surprising, in fact it would be weird if a player were to score more against good teams than the lesser teams.
As pointed out he has 7 goals in 12 games against the top 8. Not awful by any means.
I think people sometimes get a little bit too obsessed with 'big games'. It's not the big games where you lose the title, it's the small games. If we are to lose the title it will be the losses against Villa, Cardiff and Sunderland and the draws with Sunderland and Norwich.
I disagree! If Suarez would have turned up and liverpool would have beaten Chelsea, they would be nailed on for the league.
Look at Chelsea though, they have won nearly all the big games but it's the small games that cost them.
Anyway back to Suarez, I'm not sure why it's telling that he scores less against the big teams. It's only natural that you'll score less against better teams.
