Brendan Rodgers on Sterling: I think he is arguably the best young player in European football at the moment. Hes a talent. Ive been really pleased with his maturity. He puts an awful lot of time into his work. Weve tried to play him in different positions to improve his football intelligence. You could see how today he operated at the top of the diamond. He penetrated and was comfortable on the ball. When we switched to 4-3-3, he was the wide player on the side. So it really shows you how intelligent he is as a footballer. Hes got that in-built brain and belief he can be a good player. Hes a really humble kid and its been great to see. His first goal was fantastic; that strike and technique to beat a keeper of John Ruddys quality. For the second goal, his set-up was perfect to intercept, breaks away at speed, cuts inside and he gets a bit of luck with the deflection, but every coach or manager will tell you: if you hit the target, youve got a chance of scoring. His ball for Suarezs goal - that was a top midfield player just guiding it into the corridor and it was a great finish by Luis. (Mo)
