Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger was talking yesterday before Arsenals home match with Newcastle United, and was expressing his opinion on how many of the players in the Premiership were actors.
He especially singles out Liverpool’s Luis Suarez who he says was never fouled by Arsenal goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny, and due to his over dramatization off a foul in the box Liverpool were awarded a penalty.
Reds boss Kenny Dalglish has said he wants the FA to look into Arsene Wenger’s comments following the Liverpool match.
Here is what Wenger had to say: “It annoys me, but it can happen with one of my players as well,” said Wenger.
“For example, (Liverpool striker Luis) Suarez got the penalty last week. It was no penalty. Nobody touched him.
“Where they go overboard is that nobody touched him. I can understand if they push the ball too far, but when no one touches him…
“Then when they roll down the sock, take the shin pad out like he has been kicked like mad. It is a bit overboard. We don’t need that.”
Dalglish in reply had this to say: “If you can’t comment on the England manager’s position, then I’m sure he can’t comment on another player.
“He never said that to me, ‘Suarez is a diver’. He said it was a fantastic performance and they were very fortunate to win.”
