5 ways Ernesto Valverde can make Barcelona's season perfect 

#2 Bench a struggling Luis Suarez

Luis Suarez is on the worst decline of his career

The Uruguayan international is having an atrocious season with the Blaugrana, and the sudden slump in his form has brought a string of disappointing performances from the striker. Suarez has played 14 games so far, and has managed to score only 3 goals with an awful shot conversion of 15%.

The 30-year-old is going through a rough phase, and you would normally expect any coach to drop the most ineffective player in his squad, but Valverde seems to offer incessant chances to the Uruguayan.

Suarez is much more than just about scoring goals and providing assists, he is incredibly essential when it comes to his off the ball movements and his impressive work-rate is something which will never go unnoticed, but when the main striker of your team isn't decisive enough in front of the goal, things are likely to become worse.

Suarez was performing consistently well for the past few years and he is possibly in the worst decline of his career at the moment. It seems like nothing is going right for the 30-year-old, who has lost his precision, alertness, flair and the ability to convert chances into goals.

Paco Alcacer was influential in Barça's 2-1 victory over Sevilla earlier this month, and the Spaniard must start ahead of Luis Suarez to strengthen Barcelona's attack.
