Rodgers - Fans should appreciate Suarez

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers believes English football fans should enjoy watching controversial forward Luis Suarez while they can.

The Uruguayan, whose career has been marked by a series of controversies, hit the headlines for all the wrong reasons in the wake of his handball goal that helped the Reds beat non-league Mansfield 2-1 in Sunday's FA Cup third-round tie.

"He is a wonderful professional. I think in this country we need to enjoy it whilst he is here because he is a brilliant talent," said Rodgers."He is a good man as well, a good family man, and as a manager, he is someone who wants to come in and work."
