Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish has claimed that striker Luis Suarez's contribution to the team is about more than just goals.

The Uruguayan scored his first strike since the beginning of October in the Reds' 1-0 win against Queens Park Rangers at Anfield on Saturday.

"I would never judge anyone solely on goals," said Dalglish. "That is for the simple reason that you wouldn't judge a goalie on saves because if he is making great saves we have some problems somewhere else.

"Everyone is entitled to score a goal, but certainly for anyone who scores a goal they get a tremendous lift so I am sure it will help the wee fella."

Saturday's win has kept the Merseyside club sixth in the Premier League table.
