his work rate was good though and he deserved his goal. still frustrates the hell out of me though at times with his inability to get his head up and pick a pass.
What p!sses me off more than anything is the example being made of Suarez. All the cheating b*stards throughout the premierships history get no mention, just what great players they are. Take United for example, Ashley Young, Cristiano Ronaldo, two players right there who are the biggest cheaters in the game, no mention of diving.
Take Drogba at Chelsea, one of the biggest fairies in the game, but he is only known for being a dominating presence.
Now take Suarez. He gets nothing from the referees, he is constantly punished for his "reputation", and yet he is classed as a class player.
The difference being, he plays for Liverpool.
Like you mentioned, Welbeck dived, United got a penalty. Suarez was fouled, he got booked for diving.
