Using both Luis Suarez and Daniel Sturridge in the starting line up
While most teams play a formation with just one striker, Brendan Rodgers has been an exception to this rule and with some stunning effect. While in most matches one of either Suarez or Sturridge has played in the wing, it has not stopped the two from forming the most effective strike partnership in the Premier League. With both Luis Suarez and Daniel Sturridge, being incredibly unselfish, the chances have just racked up for Liverpool and with strikers of the caliber of Sturridge and Suarez one does not need to worry about finishing off chances. The duo have smashed 49 goals between them in the league along with 18 assists so far, a testament to Liverpool’s attacking threat!
Apart from all these, I would like to give credit to Rodgers for one crucial point. His man management skills have helped both Suarez and Sturridge to forget their past and evolve as world class strikers. Suarez, is yet to receive a Red card this season and has just 4 yellow cards to his name. While Suarez’ discipline is on one side, Sturridge has evolved into a team player. His selfish runs around the box have incredibly reduced as the English International looks far more composed on the ball and tries to pass to his team mates who are free.
