Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers has rejected the public perception that his 2013/14 Liverpool title challenging team was The Luis Suarez show.

Suarez was the Premier League's top scorer during his final season at Liverpool, when the Reds missed out on the title by just two points.

But Rodgers, who was sacked by the club in 2015 and is now in charge of a high-flying Leicester who travel to Anfield on Saturday, believes it was unjust criticism that the Reds were labelled a one-man team.

“It was unfair on every player," he told The Telegraph ahead of his return to his former employers this weekend.

"The strikers obviously get the goals and Luis was also the one who started the press for us, set our intensity level, but he needed players around him.

“Look, his quality and imagination in the final third was amazing. When I came in I saw the strengths of him. He had been playing off big Andy [Carroll] in a 4-4-2 and people were telling me then he needed too many chances to score.

"We just tried to set up the team to get him in the right areas centrally with numbers around him.

“It was the team that flourished. I have a memory of the home game against Arsenal in 2014 when five minutes before half-time the stadium stood up to give the players a standing ovation.

"That was not for one player. As a young manager stood on the touchline – getting that warmth from a crowd that knows its football – it was a big moment, which told me we were on the right way."
