Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers has promised to come down hard on Luis Suarez after recent comments from the striker.

In the extensive interview with Fox Sports Argentina the Liverpool forward repeated claims that he is treated differently by the media because of his South American background. He said: "I don't listen all the nonsense some people say about me. I'm accused of cheating here. People say I throw myself all the time inside the box. "They said that when we played against Stoke, for instance, and in that case they were right. I invented a foul because we were drawing and I wanted to win. "Sometimes on the pitch I say to myself, "What have I done?" But the name of Suarez sells papers." The Uruguayan was recently accused of deliberately handling the ball moments before his winning goal at non-league Mansfield in the FA Cup. But he said: "I touched the ball with my hand accidentally, and I was criticised because I kissed my hand. I say to the media: you should talk more about football, not about other stuff."
