The Uruguay international, 28, has scored just twice in La Liga since his return from suspension and again failed to find the net in the 3-2 win over Villarreal on Sunday.
Nevertheless, Jordi Alba has stressed that Suarez still adds something to the team they were previously missing.
"Perhaps Suarez is having a tough time finishing, but he was a very good signing and he gives us what we lacked," the defender told the official Barcelona website.
"We have several great attackers now and that makes a difference.
"As the coach has said, our bench is very deep with excellent players and there are lots of options."
The Spain international then went on to hail his side's hard-fought win over Villarreal at Camp Nou.
"This wasn't a game that we dominated as we usually do, it was much tougher than usual," he added.
"Villarreal hadn't lost in 18 games, which means that they're very good. The semi-finals of the Copa del Rey will be no easy task."
