Steven Gerrard: 'Liverpool lucky to have Luis Suarez'

Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard admits that they are lucky to have Luis Suarez after the striker adds more individual accolades to his resume at the club's awards dinner.

Steven Gerrard has admitted that Liverpool are lucky to have Luis Suarez after the striker cleaned up at the club's end-of-season awards on Tuesday night.

The 31-goal Uruguayan international was voted Liverpool Players' Player of the Year, Fans' Player of the Year and the scorer of the club's Goal of the Season.

Those prizes can go in his trophy cabinet alongside the Football Writers' Player of the Year and Professional Footballers' Association Player of the Year accolades picked up in the past 10 days.

Although the Premier League title is unlikely to follow, with a late collapse at Selhurst Park on Monday gifting Crystal Palace a 3-3 draw which gave Manchester City firm control of the championship race, Gerrard is positive that success will come to the Reds with "world-class" Suarez leading the way.

He told reporters: "Luis seems to be cleaning up at the moment. He's won everything and we are lucky to have such a world-class talent like Luis playing here with us and helping us to great things and be successful.

"He is out there by a big distance as the best player I have played with and that is no disrespect to anyone else - there has been some top talent for club and country - but this fella can do the lot. He is different to most footballers.

"I don't have to mention his talent, you can see it out there, and he is a fighter who doesn't give up. There is some disappointment looming around but if this fella stays around for a few more years I think there will be some really big nights."

City will pip Liverpool to the title if they claim maximum points from their two remaining home games.
