"I don't have a catalogue of the best hat-tricks ever, but certainly it was a fantastic hat-trick. But when you have got people of his ability there are no surprises.
"He is a fantastic footballer and a fantastic person. We are very fortunate to have him playing for us. And when he plays like that it is very difficult for anyone to stop him."

Liverpool Update - Suarez Hat-Trick Delivers 3-0 Victory v Norwich City
Liverpool FC is in eighth place in the Premier League table going into their clash v Chelsea fC in the upcoming FA Cup 2012 Final Match.
Liverpool striker Luis Suarez scored a beautiful goal from 55 yards to complete a stunning hat-trick in a 3-0 Premier League victory for FC Liverpool against Norwich City at Carrow Road today.
Manager Kenny Dalglish had praise for Suarez and the rest of his men following the win.
“It is called a work in progress,” said Dalglish. “We have said that before and there is no need for us to change.
“After the Carling Cup I said we are not the finished article and we are saying the same thing now.”
“He’s a special player. It was a fantastic performance.
“Everybody knows what’s coming ahead on Saturday but the team did their jobs professionally and efficiently.”
“The players who play on Tuesday will have the same determination to get the victory,” said the Liverpool manager. “I can’t guarantee we will be as good as that but the players who play will do as well as they can.”
“Luis has been like that many times this year and not been rewarded – and it’s the same with the team.
“That third goal is not difficult to score if you’ve got Luis Suarez’s ability – it’s more difficult if you are a mere mortal.
“The clean sheet was also important for us. It gives the defenders and Pepe Reina a bit of a boost.”
Midfielder Steven Gerrard had praise for Suarez as well.
“I was just about to give him a rollicking but I ended up clapping him,” said Gerrard. “It was a fantastic individual performance by Luis. It was world class, so clinical.
“We are lucky to have him. Only certain players in the world can score goals like that third one – and he is one of them. It was about vision more than technique.”

Dowd refereed the Community Shield and Carling Cup matches this season.

Steven Gerrard, Liverpool FC Captain
FA Cup Semi Final 2012: Liverpool v Everton
On Saturday April 14th, Wembley Stadium will host Liverpool v Everton in the first semi-final of 2012 The FA Cup with Budweiser. Everton fans will be in the West end of the stadium, while Liverpool's fans will be in the East. The kick-off time is 12.30pm.
Liverpool Football Club sealed their place in the semis after a 2-1 victory over Stoke City at Anfield, whilst the Toffees secured their place after beating Sunderland in a 6th Round replay.
Liverpool have beaten Everton twice this season. The Reds won the Carling Cup at Wembley in February.
Liverpool Captain Steven Gerrard knows the team must hold their focus going into the match. Last month Gerrard became the first Liverpool player to score a hat-trick in a Merseyside derby at Anfield since Fred Howe in 1935.
"It's a proud day for me to lead the lads out at Wembley again and it's a proud day for the city," he said. "It's a massive game and it's been a long time since Liverpool played Everton at Wembley so it's a fantastic occasion for the supporters.
"It's another important game for us players, we need to try and forget it's Everton and just focus on a really tough game on the day. We realise that it's important not to get ahead of ourselves. Although the game is at Wembley, it's still only a semi-final. There's still one massive hurdle to get over before we can get to the final. We still believe we can beat anyone, Everton included. What we have to do is make sure we're ready and focused and we concentrate on the game rather than the occasion."
"We've beaten Everton twice this year so that should give us belief and confidence but we need to perform to the same levels at Wembley to get the same result," Gerrard added. "We believe that we have the players in our squad capable of doing the job on the day but we all need to deliver good performances – all the players. To reach two major cup finals in the same season would be a fantastic achievement."
