After Luis Suarez scored his fifth goal in two games in Liverpool's 4-1 victory over West Ham United, Brendan Rodgers has called the Uruguayan "one of the best players in the world":
"I wouldn't swap Suarez for anyone. I have the pleasure of working with him everyday and what he gives in both training and in matches is relentless desire. When you have a player like that, you don't want to let them go."
"We have a very good relationship, and it's a joy for people to look him. A lot has been written and said about Suarez, but beneath everything he's a humble guy, and a true professional. If you're talking about both technical ability and mentality, he's one of the world's best."
"I couldn't put a price on him at the moment, and I wouldn't want to. If you look at consistency and the way he is playing, he is enjoying being at Liverpool."
"At this moment in time, Suarez is one of the best players in the world."
In his post match interview, Rodgers also took the time to reflect upon the improvements made upon last season's West Ham fixture:
"If you look at last season's performance, we failed to create many real chances. Today however, we had 32 attempts on goal and could have doubled our victory margin."
