Suarez Is A Poorer Version Of Aguero

Arsenal, yeah man. Oh yeah.

As harsh as that sounds it's true.

Suarez has done excellently this season. Especially when you look at where Liverpool are in the league.
But as I've always maintained, stats don't paint the whole picture.

Aguero's been injured for large parts of this season, and his team has generally struggled to get going.

Let's compare the players actual abilities for once though please.

Dribbling:
Tight one. And though Suarez's is highly efficient, I'd say Aguero's is more deliberate and close control based.
This is not a slight on Suarez though. Easily second best in the Prem.

Passing & Link up play:
Both are great this. But I'd hand this one to Aguero once again.
His passes are so sharp and accurate. He combines that well with his movement.

Touch & Control:
I've come across some laughable and ludicrous statements from some of our Scouse friends.
According to some of them Suarez is the most technically gifted player in the Prem.
God knows how they came to this conclusion.
And while his technique is good, he's not even in the top 5 I'd say.
This one is not even close. Aguero's once again.

Shooting & Finishing:
Suarez may have scored a lot of goals this season. But honest to God.
For a top forward his shooting technique and finishing is woeful. 9/10 he scuffs in his shots, forcing it past the keeper. Zero subtlety to his game whatsoever.
His dribbling's the exact same. But we've gone past that. In fact his whole game is based around graft and workmanship quality which he combines with his good technique. A very effective combo.

Aguero needs a few chances to score too. But he's got more tact and variety to his shots and finishing.

Creativity & Intelligence:

The former's a bit close. As a grafter he does see quite a few passes. Unfortunately Downing's constant miscontrols of the passes lets him down. Creativity can go either way.
Intelligence comfortably goes to Aguero.

Pace, balance, strength & other physical qualities:

I'd give each and every single one to Aguero.

All in all, as a footballer, Aguero blows Suarez out the water. A few goals difference won't change that fact.
