Liverpool: Steven Gerrard believes Liverpool team-mate Luis Suarez can become one of the best players in the world. The club captain said he has been impressed by the striker, who scored four goals for Uruguay against Chile last weekend, since he signed from Ajax in January, and feels there is plenty more to come from him.
"To see Luis day in, day out has been a real eye-opener for me," Gerrard told LFC Weekly.
"I knew he was a good player. Having worked with him on a regular basis I think he has the potential to be one of the best in the world."
Gerrard has called on his team-mates to raise their game and start realising their potential by delivering results. The Reds started the season brightly, but have lost ground on the top four after disappointing home draws against newly-promoted Norwich and Swansea City.
And having boosted the squad in the summer with the likes of Jordan Henderson and Charlie Adam, Gerrard believes it is time they started picking up wins.
"I think the squad is looking stronger, probably the strongest we've had for a long time. Now it's all about delivering," he said. The tools are all there, now we need to work hard, focus on each game and try to build on what we've shown over the last 20 or so games.
"I think you have to realise that this club is different to most others. The pressure is different because you have to win every game. The fans demand not just effort, but quality. With all due respect, at some other places you get away with performances that simply aren't good enough.
"At Liverpool your standards have got to be so high every single week. You have to perform every time. That's what I've had to do every year and that's what the new lads are coming to terms with, Gerrard added.
