Barcelona striker Luis Suarez: Too easy to blame Neymar

Barcelona striker Luis Suarez says Neymar has been treated unfairly.

Neymar has been largely blamed for Barca's recent form slump.

But after the rout of Deportivo La Coruna, Suarez stated: “I don’t think the coach sees us as untouchable.

"It’s true that we do a lot to help the team and we normally play every game, but we’re not more than anyone else. When things are going badly we all take responsibility. Over the past few days one person has been blamed but that’s not the way it is.

"We’re not machines; every player goes through a bad patch and it hurts that Neymar has been blamed. When we were winning nobody said that only Ney was winning. It’s about the team. He has feelings and it wasn’t fair to blame him, but one thing in his favour is that he always fights and never lets his head drop."
