Steven Gerrard may have played alongside some of the finest forwards to have graced the game during his career, but hes not short of words when it comes to describing what its like to supply the ammunition for Luis Suarez and Daniel Sturridge. The pair have fired 16 goals between them in the Barclays Premier League so far this season to elevate Liverpool to second place in the table and place them both at the top of the scoring charts. Asked to describe what its like to play behind the duo, Gerrard told the Daily Mail: Its a dream, an absolute dream. I have always played with one top forward through my career here. Now there are two main men and it is great. It has clicked without much work in training. Im excited as I think it can get better. Daniel has grown as a player. He has been great for Liverpool but Liverpool have been great for him. If he keeps listening to the right people, he can improve. Despite the impact of the Sturridge and Suarez partnership, Gerrards influence on Liverpool remains as strong as ever. The 33-year-old admits hes doing all he can to ensure he prolongs his career for as long as possible. Im managing myself very well on and off the pitch, said the skipper. I have got a fantastic medical team around me. Ive always said if I can get my body right and be healthy, I can cope with Liverpool and England, no problem. With experience of football and life, you learn to handle things. You know you can cope with the defeats and the bad performances. When I go home, I can totally switch off if I want. When I go through the door, I have to switch into Mickey Mouse world for the youngest, or dancing for the other two. When I leave the car park at Melwood, I try and become a completely different person. I try to get away from it. You have got to. Otherwise you end up like Jamie Carragher - obsessed! Jay
