Yes he did. But the point is, people saying he did it single handedly are wrong. He was a massive part but why did he not do the same in his previous seasons? Was it just another case of a player playing for a move?

Sturridge is very hard to judge this season. Against Spurs he looked his old self but that was probably the last time he was actually 100%. He was also mainly used on his own which I don't think suits him too well.

Sturridge this season when fit has struggled big time. No denying it.

So, as I asked before, why did this not happen in his previous 2 seasons with us?

You could also ask the same question in regards to Sterling as well, doesn't look half the player he was last season.

1. He took time to adapt.
2. We didn't play Gung-ho football.
3. We didn't play get the ball to Suarez as fast as you can football.
4. Suarez was still out highest scorer in Kenny's first full season.
5. We had a record number of shots which rattled the wood-work that season.
6. Evra-gate/Witch-hunt/ Suarez out for half a season.
7. He wasn't playing like he was trying to impress other clubs and force through a move when Kenny was here.

Right place at right time for Rodgers last season, as has shown this season.

1. Why are our current crop not given time to adapt?
2. Who decided to play that way with Suarez?

Because BR fell around trying to figure out who to fit into his system. He then half figured it out and tinkered to fit SAS which made Sterling and Sturridge look better because Luis always had three defenders on him allowing the other two space.

Why is it that he accidentally stumbled across it, like everyone says about the 343 this season? Ever thought he may have planned it?

What did Brendan Rodgers do to improve Luis and how was it (finishing 2nd) all down to him (BR)?
