Suarez took his Premier League goal tally for the season to 21 &mdash; and 28 in all competitions &mdash; as the Merseysiders moved into seventh spot in the table. &ldquo;For me there is not a better striker at the moment,&rdquo; said Rodgers. <img alt="" src="http://images.mid-day.com/2013/mar/suarez.jpg" style="width: 400px; height: 350px;" /> Luis Suarez &ldquo;He is clearly the player of the year for myself and for many people around the country. He is absolutely incredible. Forget about his quality, it is his hunger and desire. &ldquo;He never wants to have an easy day and every time he comes onto the pitch he produces stunning performances and gives his maximum. It was a brilliant hat-trick for him and a great day for the team: to get the goals and a clean sheet was terrific,&rdquo; he added. Stewart Downing&rsquo;s headed opener put Liverpool in front inside two minutes and Suarez struck twice before half-time and then early in the second half to pull in front of Manchester United&rsquo;s Robin van Persie in the top scorers chart. &lsquo;Luis will stay&rsquo; Rodgers added that he is unconcerned that Suarez may want to leave Anfield in the summer in search of Champions League football next season. &ldquo;There will always be interest in top players and he is a world class player,&rdquo; said the Liverpool manager. &ldquo;I speak regularly with Luis and I had a good meeting with his agent a few weeks ago who expressed how much he wants to be a part of things going forward. He has is a real affinity here with the players, he is a real leader within the group for us, the supporters adore him, he loves the city and I think he genuinely sees there is a bright future for us. &ldquo;It is one where it could have been easy for him to walk out last summer (he instead signed a new contract) but he didn&#39;t and he is very happy,&rdquo; he added.
