Liverpool's SAS strikerforce still improving - Henderson

07 October 2013 08:49

Liverpool midfielder Jordan Henderson believes there is still plenty to come from the strike partnership of Luis Suarez and Daniel Sturridge.

The pair were both on target in Saturday's 3-1 win over Crystal Palace at Anfield to make it five goals between them in the two Barclays Premier League matches they have played together since Suarez returned from suspension.

Because of that ban and injuries, the duo have not started that many games since Sturridge arrived from Chelsea in January.

But Henderson reckons what they have displayed so far is only a fraction of what they are capable of.

"They are fantastic. Their link-up play and one-twos was brilliant and they do that all the time in training," he said.

"Hopefully they can keep working on that, keep improving and keep getting the goals.

"If that's the case and they haven't played that much then they can get even better.

"They played a couple more before Luis got the ban but Luis has come back in and they've fitted together perfectly.

"They know where each other's going to be and they've been outstanding."

While Suarez was sidelined Sturridge led the line brilliantly and Henderson believes the striker benefited from the added responsibility and knowing he would be playing every week.
