Liverpool striker admits to diving
Suarez has been at the centre of controversy since he arrived at Liverpool with Rodgers going out of his way to defend the striker, most recently after a handball incident against Mansfield.
In an interview for Fox Sports in Argentina Suarez admitted to diving against Stoke, he said: “Sometimes you do things on the field that later you think ‘Why the hell did I do that?
“I was accused of falling inside the box in a match and it’s true I did it that time, because we were drawing against Stoke at home and we needed anything to win it.”
Rodgers anger was aimed at his striker admitting to diving rather than the act itself.
The Liverpool boss said: “I’ve seen the comments and I think it is wrong. Certainly from our perspective it is unacceptable. It is not something we advocate here. Our ethics are correct.
“I’ve spoken to Luis and he is totally understanding and knows where I’m coming from as manager of the club. This is a big club and whatever people do say goes around the world, and what was said was wrong and not acceptable – he takes that and we move on.
“There is no-one bigger than the club or the club’s image. The comments, from our point of view as a club, are not what we would want to hear.
“This is something which was obviously wrong and is not something we associate with as a club of this standing.”
