Liverpool assistant manager Colin Pascoe feels that Brendan Rodgers has brought out Luis Suarez’s best ever form.
Suarez was on target during Liverpool’s 2-2 midweek draw away at Arsenal, a goal which moved him onto 17 strikes in the Premier League for the season, just one behind Manchester United’s Robin van Persie.
And for Pascoe, the Uruguayan is playing the best football he has ever played in his career under the watchful eye of Rodgers, who landed at Liverpool during the summer to replace the sacked Kenny Dalglish.
"He loves Liverpool, he loves being here. He’s arguably in the form of his life under Brendan", Pascoe told Liverpool’s official site.

Pascoe also stated his belief that Suarez is the best striker in English football at the present time.
"Yes. Definitely", he said when asked.
"Him and Robin van Persie are great players. You’ve also got Wayne Rooney and plenty of others but we’re glad that Luis has signed his contract and is playing for us."
Liverpool will hope that Suarez can continue his goalscoring form tomorrow, when the Reds travel to play Premier League champions Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium.
The match could be a key clash for the club’s top four hopes this season.
