Brendan Rodgers praised duo Luis Suarez and Daniel Sturridge after the deadly duo both netted in Liverpool's 3-1 win over Crystal Palace.
The
former Swansea boss believes the strikers, who have already netted five
goals between them in two league matches this season, have a
"telepathic" understanding which allows them to form such a clinical
partnership.
We've done many exercises to help them improve that
combination. All we've asked is that they work hard for the team and
their natural ability comes out then, Rodgers told reporters.
They're
not static strikers and they occupy a back four on their own. They have
a telepathic nature to play with each other and obviously for the team
it bodes well fo us going forward.
Despite seeing his side go top
of the Premier League with victory over the Eagles, Rodgers admitted he
was unhappy aspects of the performance, but was nonetheless pleased
that they were still able to pick up the three points.
In the
final third of the field it was very good. The two boys up front are as
good as anyone in the league so you know you've always got a chance with
them, he added.
We took our goals well, creating a number of
other chances, but the second half was obviously nowhere near where we
want it to be.
Without playing great we won the game, and that
was something last season that we were guilty of. I'm not the type of
coach that only wants to win. I worry about how the team plays and how
we can control a game.
I felt today in the final third it was
hard to argue that we weren't outstanding. The combination play was
great but we've still got a lot of work to do behind that. The lack of
composure and control in the game was disappointing.Steven
Gerrard's penalty wrapped up the points for the hosts before half-time,
and Palace manager Ian Holloway was not happy with the officials'
decision to penalise Dean Moxey for a pull on Raheem Sterling.
Unfortunately we are being punished for any mistake we make at the moment, he said.
The
shape was wrong for the first goal and the second goal was
self-inflicted. I don't think my centre-half needed to win that and I
think we needed to calm down.
We had a couple of chances after that, but unfortunately if you don't take them at this level it can be pretty unforgiving.
