Liverpool skipper, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Steven-Gerrard-c34196, lauded the performance of Luis Suarez, following the Reds 3-0 win over QPR on Sunday.
The Merseyside outfit put up a rampant display at the Loftus Road Stadium, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Daniel-Agger-c9884 nodded
the ball home from a corner kick to force the hosts to go for damage control.
The win – which was only the Reds third in away matches this campaign – lifted them one place above to ninth place in the table. They now have 28 points from their 20 matches, but still trail the fourth-placed Tottenham Hotspur by 8 points.
While speaking to the reporters after the match, Gerrard could not help but reveal his admiration for Suarez.
The English International insisted that the striker has been remarkable for them since he arrived at Anfield almost two years ago, terming him a ‘magician’.
“He's been brilliant for us since he came to the club. Week in, week out he shows what a top player he is,” he told the reporters in an interview.
“These players have only got to play against him twice a year, we've got to train against him every day. He's a magician.”
For large chunks of the game, it was a simple walk in the park for the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Rangers-c40314 defence struggled miserably to close out Suarez and Sterling. The midfield also appeared to be fragile, lacking any innovation and invention, and always
seemed unsettled against continuous onslaught from their opposition.
However, Gerrard was more humble in his assessment of the match. The midfielder refused to label QPR as easy opponents, claiming that his side were simply at their best on the day.
“I wouldn't say it was easy... We knew if we started well we could quieten the crowd and out football would take over and we were probably the best we've played so far this season,” he added.
Liverpool are set to take on Sunderland at Anfield on Wednesday in their next league game.
