Let's just hope we can get something for him now.
I'm all for someone being innocent until proven guilty, but the evidence isn't completely exonerating and his past is pretty damning. The bottom line is that he can't avoid controversy and is distracting to the squad. It's a shame since 31 non-penalty goals and 13 assists are going to be very hard to replace.
On the pitch it seems Suarez will do anything for club or country, I guess we now know the good and bad of that. He'll play any position and give it his all, he'll even take a handball to give his side a chance, but this time, for the third time, he apparently took it too far. I can't even fathom what he was thinking? That he would win a penalty? That's the only logical thing I can come up and it's fringe logic at best.
Most of all this is embarassing. When people who know nothing of football, who don't support a club, and can't tell you what offside means, feel they have the right to ridicule you because they know you're a Liverpool and Suarez fan, it's very distressing. When you can longer defend a player you love, it's truly time to let him go.
Even if he plays for Liverpool again, it will not be the same. To me, he can now only ever be a tarnished hero at best, a player who had the potential to be one of the greats, but couldn't keep his mouth shut. In opposition eyes, no matter what he achieves on the field, it will now always come second to his vulgar acts.
I was willing to forgive him the first time and he seemed to be on course to becoming a modest human being. No matter the outcome of the investigation, even if he is completely absolved, the fact that he put himself in this situation is infuriating. It's a complete lack of respect for his country, club, family, and himself.
There is no other option, he has to go.
