Two goals against Zenit in the Europa League at Anfield took Luis Suarez to 25 in all competitions for the season for Liverpool.

He is the Premier League's second top scorer, has a strike rate of better than a goal every other game since signing for Liverpool (46 goals in 89 games) and is hailed by his club captain as one of the best in the world (via BBC).

There can be no doubting Luis Suarez's level of ability, and though the club as a whole certainly aren't up there to match him, the team has been improving.

Cup competitions have, ultimately, come to premature ends and a top-four challenge looks out of sight after too much inconsistency this season, but Liverpool are playing better, going through spells of games where the off the ball tactics look more assured and several others in the squad have improved their level of play considerably.

It all points to steady progression, with Suarez as the focal point and the target, in terms of both consistency and quality.
