Liverpool 2-2 Chelsea: 6 Takeaways from Redsa Extraordinary Draw at Anfield

That Luis Suarez had a turn in three of the gameas four goals demands that we speak about him, both for his great and, unfortunately in the immediate aftermath of the fit, more of the negative. First, the great. It is a to the sheer brilliance that Suarez offers at his feet that even despite a reputation and penchant for debate, he was chosen as a Person of the Year prospect. And while he's still not back to his prime form yet, we saw two of his most important qualities this season, as his imagination and technique produced an elegant lobbed combination for Daniel Sturridge to show house, and his finishing and placement gained hima'and Liverpoola'a headed equalizer at the death. But then, there's also the poor. And on Sunday, both extremes were seen by us at Anfield. You will find people who say that the fee Kevin Friend given for Suarezas handball was benefit given his history, first against Ghana on earth Cup 2010 quarterfinals, then earlier this season against Mansfield Town in the FA Cup. Except that, while it has been red-card offence as opposed to an orange, the only actual similarity is that handball was involved. Accidental or not, this is a case of reputation coming ahead of the incident. The bite, however, was a totally different matter. It's a catastrophe (tragicomedy?) that a player of Suarezas ilk is really incompetent at controlling his thoughts on the subject, but for someone to repeat an identical offencea'having committed the same against PSV Eindhovenas Otman Bakkal in his last look for Ajaxa'shows the absolute inability of Suarez to understand from such punishments. Possibly less emphasized is that any possible sanctions or restrictions from the English FA is dependent on Mr. Friendas post-match survey, but just as Suarez was beginning to win over his critics having an improved simulation history, it looks as if he could be absent extensive fit activity due to misconduct for his second year in a line. And thatas inadequate.
