Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers refuses to criticise Luis Suarez's scattergun form.

Suarez again missed several chances in victory over Reading.

But Rodgers argued: "He scores a lot of chances. He's not perfect, he's not going to score every chance, but he's got a great return if you look at his stats, at his goals return at Ajax and since he's come into here.

"There's no doubt he'll want to be a wee bit more clinical, and going forward we want to get some more players around him who can take the load off him as well.

"He leads the line terrifically for us. His movement and creativity is great, and he obviously had a nice moment with the supporters (the home fans stood as one to applaud sarcastically) when he got brought down for the free-kick, which was nice."
