It would have gone without saying but Liverpool has been described as a “big task” for the Swans this weekend<\/p>\n
Brendan Rodgers was preparing his side for the task this weekend though as they go to Anfield in search of their first Premier League victory on the road.<\/p>\n
After coming so close two weeks ago at Wolves, there aren’t many harder venues in the Premier League but the Swans will look to break that duck against some of the best players in Europe and beyond.<\/p>\n
Rodgers said\u00a0\u201cIt\u2019s a big task for us.<\/p>\n
\u201cAndy is through the middle and then getting into the box for crosses, while Suarez is free to get down the sides and hurt teams.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey have spent the money\u00a0on those two to win the title.<\/p>\n
\u201cAndy has made great progress as a young player, I remember watching him playing in the same international youth team as Scott.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe is unplayable in the air, he has a great touch and finishes really well. I remember him scoring against Swansea in the Championship at the Liberty Stadium.<\/p>\n
\u201cThen you\u2019ve got the mobility, movement and pace of Suarez alongside him.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s why they paid \u00a359m for them.\u201d<\/p>\n
Much criticism was aimed at Suarez last weekend for his part in earning Liverpool a penalty at West Brom but Rodgers said\u00a0\u201cThe Europeans and South Americans are brought up to be streetwise.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey are clever and I don\u2019t think they are alone with that because you see British players doing it. I do not think we should be pointing fingers.<\/p>\n
\u201cHis movement is excellent and he gets free-kicks and penalties because of that.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is part and parcel of football at the top of the game.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
