Very harsh to pick up on Suarez - do you question the achievements of all good coaches that have had outstanding players? What about Klopp with Salah? Pep with Messi/Xavi/Iniesta? For all the praise of Klopp, which is well deserved, Liverpool still spent vast sums on players like Alisson, van Dijk, Mane, and Salah. Any coach needs great players to win the biggest trophies, what did you expect? I'd more question how Rodgers did so well with a Liverpool side that he took from 7th to 2nd, Suarez scoring one more goal from one season to the next (30 vs 31 total). Rodgers squad included a mish-mash of central defenders such as Dan Agger, Kolo Toure, Mamadou Sakho, and Martin Skrtel. The latter was the only one to start more than 17 games in the Premier League.
In football there are many forms of success, one is getting more out of restricted resources, another is getting the best out of the very elite. Pep and Klopp are at the latter end, that doesn't diminish managers like Brendan Rodgers. The question is, can he shift along the scale to their level?
