Football: Trouble stalks Suarez, says Rodgers
Suarez was at the centre of events as the Reds survived a rocky ride at fifth-tier Mansfield Town.
MANSFIELD:
Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers admits that if there’s controversy, striker Luis Suarez is always in the thick of it. Suarez was at the centre of events as the Reds survived a rocky ride at fifth-tier Mansfield Town in the FA Cup third round on Sunday, the Uruguay forward handling the ball in scoring what proved to be the winner in a 2-1 victory. Suarez has been no stranger to controversy and Rodgers accepted it just had to be him again. “It always is, isn’t it?” said Rodgers. “If it was someone else we probably wouldn’t even be discussing it. Sometimes these sorts of things will follow players.”
