Airmark say Suarez is one

Nope. Suarez doesn't fit that fox-in-the-box description. At least not in the "original context" of that term I know!

In fact, with the modern day footie, those sort of strikers are a "dying" breed.

Any links to the match please ?

Not yet. Not just yet, though he certainly will be.

Una go dey there Real Madrid go come collect am!

The term itself is actually quite loose. Because a fox In the box is a striker who's ultra sharp and intelligent in the area, and gobbles up chances like no man's business.
Whether or not his usefulness extends to holdup and linkup play, assisting, dribbling etc is up in the air.
Going by the first definition, Luis Suarez is a fox in the box. So is a striker like Inzaghi or prime Javier Hernandez.
However, when you define a fox in the box as a poacher and little else, there is a problem as Luis Suarez is most definitely not JUST a poacher.

LMAO. Ask Gary Neville what happened when he tried to coach another sinking ship in Spain.

Finally, Chelsea score

Cesc with the goal

2, actually. For the first 30 minutes Derby were decidedly better despite having about 30% possession.

But shey it is this Christensen that wants to leave for lack of game time, abi?

SMH. Two own goals

Spot on. There are many terms used in soccer, which may be interpreted wrongly by many. But when someone explains one needs to reason along. For example some players can be called "wing wizards", does it mean they just stay along the line without doing other things in other areas? They are called such, because they are genius in that area of the field. Ronaldo can be called a fox in the box, because of his skills that give him edge against defenders. We can then start analysing it one after the other. His movements off and on the ball alone in the box, is what donkeys like Morata will never have.

Everything should not be turned to arguments but some people derive pleasure in arguing needlessly.

lordfalcao:
is your van dijk the upgrade to Cahill??

Do I need to still answer this question bro?

airmark:


The difference between me and you is, I trained under pro coaches and I interacted with pro players, with discussions on technical aspects of the game.

You said Suarez shouldn't be tagged that, but you were asking what made Morata to be exempted, adding an image where he was called that. You've been in America for years now, you should know what characteristics of a fox, are. You must have come across 'wily like a fox' before. The craftiness and deadliness of a striker in the box and in front of goal, are crucial to him being tagged that term.

Not all strikers are smart and deadly, Morata is a donkey in the box right now. Suarez was deadly and crafty in the box in his years in Liverpool and even when he was hot in Spain. He rarely missed 1 v 1 unlike Morata. He was swift and more deadly in the box than outside. There was a season all his goals were inside it.

I can't spend alot of hours educating someone who's not ready to learn. How I wish we are debating this issue physically in the presence of soccer experts, you would have become an embarrassment in their eyes. It would have been a joy for me.

There is no substitute for education and promoting ignorance

educate yourself and the other army of ignoramus on this thread

How modern football has made the fox in the box an endangered species

The term strictly means a poacher

Read the below links or google and let me know where you see where the definition can cover Suarez

You've not described a fox in the box bro. I asked you that and to give exampleSSS.

Worst game under Sarri so far IMO. We were very lucky to win.

Personally, I'd rather not have Luis Suarez described as a fox-in-the-box, but it's very possible a striker can combine lethal predatory instincts with strength and good linkup play etc. Just look at prime Sergio Aguero. Prime Luis Suarez.
Strikers hardly score worldies from 25 yards out, yet there are target men who are slow and ponderous and rely on brute strength and massive aerial abilities and are excellent at bringing others into play.
In my opinion, the term is quite loose. Anyone who is sharp and scores lots can fit that bill.

So Suarez wasn't a poacher at his peak.

I would have loved you to say this nonsense physically in the midst of professionals.

A deadly striker, a player who scores most goals in the box, not particularly skillful but scores a lot of goals. .
Example: (Headline) Rasmussen: I’m a fox in the box. Morten Rasmussen has told Celtic fans the Parkhead club have signed an old-fashioned penalty box striker.
