Luis Suarez is Liverpool's Lionel Messi, says Brendan Rodgers



Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers described Luis Suarez as his side's equivalent of Lionel Messi after the striker's display against Newcastle.
Suarez scored a delightful equaliser against the Magpies and was a constant threat during the 1-1 draw at Anfield.
"He plays the false nine role like Messi does for Barcelona where he moves freely and others have to get in behind him to penetrate," Rodgers told Sky.
"Suarez's goal was brilliant. He is a world-class striker."

Suarez was his side's main threat as he played in the hole between Newcastle's defence and midfield, with his movement and penetrating forward runs causing the visitors plenty of trouble.
Magpies centre-back Fabricio Coloccini was given a torrid time by the Reds striker and was red-carded for an 84th-minute challenge on Suarez, who has scored seven goals in his last nine league matches.
