da bet sport: If Brendan Rodgers thought life on Merseyside was going to be all plain sailing he should never have left the comfy confines of South Wales. A week earlier seemed to signal a turning point for the Northern Irishman as the Reds strolled out of Carrow Road with three points under their arm after doing what Sylvester the Cat has been trying to do for years and maul a Canary. Luis Suarez was the man of the moment in Norfolk, firing in a superb hat trick, but was at the centre of controversy once again as Rodgers presided over another frustrating Anfield draw. In no uncertain terms Suarez has built up a reputation as a notorious diver but his pitiful attempt to con the referee into awarding his team a penalty plumbed new depths. Quite frankly it even went as far to repulsing sections of the home crowd. There is no doubt the Uruguayan is talented but this constant stream of play acting only serves to overshadow the positive aspects of his play. For Rodgers, who curiously defended the striker despite the irrefutable evidence, must wonder when he will wake up to the contention free working week.

As manager of this football club I find it incredible that in nearly all the coverage about Luis Suarez this weekend, very little focus has been placed on the fact that he was actually the victim of a stamping incident within the first five minutes of the game. At this moment there seems to be one set of rules for Luis and another set for everyone else.” Brendan Rodgers comes to Luis Suarez’s defence after his diving antics at the weekend
