Luis Suarez opens the scoring at Anfield against Norwich with a stunning volley from 40-yards
The Uruguayan wheels away jubilantly, and that wouldn't be the last time, either...
It was a tough night for Canaries 'keeper John Ruddy who must be sick of the sight of the striker
It
has taken him just 86 appearances to reach 50 Premier League goals,
while his current 13-goal tally for this season is one more than the
whole Norwich side have managed between them.
Little
wonder Rodgers compared him to Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, as
he sent a chilling message to Premier League defences that he has yet to
reach his peak.
'The
headlines are simple enough, eh boys?' smiled the Liverpool manager.
'I
haven't seen many individual performances like that before. It was a joy
to watch, sheer brilliance from one of the best strikers in the world.
Among modern-day world-class operators like Messi and Ronaldo, it's all
about numbers. They don't seem to deal in ones and twos any more. It's
all fours and fives, and, of course, Luis has shown he can do that.
'He
is the happiest he has been in all his time here, and that is adding a
maturity to his play. This club suits him. It goes hand in glove with
him, and I am convinced his best years are going to be spent here.
'The
football we are playing is allowing him to exploit the spaces he likes
playing in, and the way he is finishing things off deserves mention
alongside Messi and Ronaldo. He is only 26 and is going to keep
improving. The quality of his finishing was just incredible, and I
actually felt sorry for Norwich's defenders, because there's not much
you can do about it.
'You
would have to toss a coin between the first and third for hew pick of
the bunch, Initially, I thought the opener, but then I looked at the
third again and just thought, "Goodness me, what a goal that was." It
was a remarkable individual performance.'
