Suarez - Room For Improvement

Luis Suarez claims there is more to come from him and his Liverpool team-mates this season, insisting there is always room for improvement.

As a club, the Reds will feel that they still have work to do, with league leaders Manchester City having already opened up a 12-point advantage.

Kenny Dalglish is determined to return Liverpool to the Premier League's top four, but must add consistency to a squad brimming with world class talent.

Suarez certainly fits into that category, with the Uruguayan having been a revelation at Anfield following his January arrival from Ajax.

He has been the club's standout performer this term, but believes he can get even better and help to haul the Reds forward by converting more of the opportunities that come his way.

"I'm happy because the team has been performing well but as a striker I am always going to get plenty of chances and I could probably have converted one or two more," said Suarez.

"I also know strikers go through periods where they are trying so hard to score and they don't always go in.

"The main thing is I am playing well and the whole team is playing in the right manner.

"I think all of the lads are playing well and although we know we have some injuries to key players like Stevie and Carra, we know we have players who can step up and perform well.

"That's the good thing about having such a big squad - we have the quality for anyone to come in, do a good job and replace these players.

"But we still know we can do that little bit better."

Suarez's fine form this season has been recognized with three successive player of the month awards at Anfield, but the South American claims his monopoly on that particular prize has left him feeling slightly awkward.

"It's a bit of a surprise because to win it three months running makes me almost feel a bit embarrassed," he told liverpoolfc.tv.

"But as long as people realize I'm just doing my job and I'm working hard for the team then that's great.

"I think if we had managed to pick up a couple more victories in those games we deserved to - the home games against Manchester United and Norwich - we'd obviously be a little bit higher up the league."
