Liverpool striker Luis Suarez says sorry for biting Branislav Ivanovic

Liverpool striker Luis Suarez has apologised for biting Chelsea defender Branislav Ivanovic and has described his behaviour as 'inexcusable'.

The incident also drew criticism from Sky Sports pundits, and former Liverpool players, Graeme Souness and Jamie Redknapp. "I'm not sure what to make of it really, embarrassing," Souness told Sky Sports following the match. "He is making it very difficult for himself to stay at Liverpool, I believe that puts him in the last chance saloon. "More important than any of that is to safeguard the good name of the football club. This club is a world renowned football club. It is up there with Barcelona, Real Madrid, Manchester United, it is up there with any of them. "People will be talking about this for a long, long time and it's going to show Liverpool in a very bad light - especially in this week of all weeks, the anniversary of Hillsborough." Suarez was banned for seven games during his time at Ajax after biting PSV Eindhoven's Otman Bakkal and Redknapp believes the latest incident is 'indefensible'. Redknapp said: "He got a seven-game ban at Ajax for doing the same thing. He obviously has a real problem. "Even the staunchest Liverpool supporters cannot look at that and think that's alright. You can't defend that and anyone who tries to is completely wrong. "I'd be surprised if he plays again this season. What message does will that send if he doesn't get a two or three-game ban. "He's letting the club down. He's giving the owners a problem. "It's such a shame because he's playing for such a great football club. How many more chances are you going to give him?" Professional Footballers' Association chief executive Gordon Taylor also condemned the incident after the latest controversy to engulf Suarez. "It was not good to see to say the least. It was unacceptable," Taylor told Sky Sports News. "His reputation for controversy continues to increase when he can be such a good player, one of the world's best, so it is a real dilemma now. "It's uncalled for, it's not good, it's depressing, it's such a shame for a player who's a really good footballer but this is not the first time that such things have happened. "I know it's a really difficult one for Liverpool and the FA are going to have to deal with it.
