Luis Suarez has pledged to give everything for Liverpool just two months after he appeared determined to leave the club.

Manager Brendan Rodgers has no doubt it will not take Suarez long to get back among the goals. "Considering he had been out for such a long time he ran himself into the ground, he was always a threat, he put defenders on the back foot with a couple of twists and as he goes on he will get a bit sharper. "Overall he can be really pleased and I was really happy for him because his contribution was brilliant. "He has worked very hard. He obviously tired a bit towards the end but the only way he is going to get that (fitness) is playing in games. "But even in the last moments of the game he can still create, distract defenders and open up the space." Rodgers also saw it as an opportunity for the 26-year-old to repay the fans after a testing few months in which he tried to manufacture a summer transfer. "The support they have given him is unheralded. They were brilliant towards him, he has given them everything," he said. "He was clapping to the crowd before the match started so he recognises everything they have given him. "Now he has got to get his head down and give them that great talent he has and hopefully it will end up in goals for him."
