Lucas hails form of Liverpool pals Meireles, Suarez

Lucas Leiva has heaped praise on two Liverpool teammates.

The Brazil midfielder says striker Luis Suarez is already looking the goods.

"He is a dangerous striker, you could see that against Wigan and he worked really hard to help the team," said the Brazil international.

"You could see his quality with the free-kick (which hit the crossbar) and I am sure he will score a lot of goals."

Lucas also praised Raul Meireles, who scored his fifth goal in six matches against Wigan, before being forced off with sickness just after half-time.

"Raul is scoring a lot of goals," said the 24-year-old.

"He is playing in an advanced position with freedom and he will have chances to score and we know he is capable of that."
