STEVEN GERRARD reckons Luis Suarez is being victimised by referees due to his reputation.
Suarez was at the centre of another diving storm at Anfield on Sunday after tumbling in the box under a Jonny Evans challenge.
That came after he was booked at Sunderland last week for simulation.
TV replays of the incident against Manchester United were inconclusive — yet Reds skipper Gerrard believes the Uruguayan striker will struggle to get decisions even when they are obvious.
He said: “Even when Luis gets blatant penalties now he is never going to get them. It is down to referees to not judge him. They have got to make their decisions based on what they see.
“If it is not a penalty, they don’t give him one, but if it is clear, give him it. It’s only fair.
“He was booked last week at Sunderland, but Sunday’s was a penalty. In these big games, you need things to go your way and you certainly don’t need big refereeing decisions that are wrong going against you. That is what happened.”
Liverpool had further salt rubbed in the wounds when referee Mark Halsey awarded United a spot-kick winner, as Antonio Valencia crashed under Glen Johnson’s desperate cover tackle.
Johnson is adamant he never touched Valencia — and is certain the decision would not have gone Liverpool’s way had Suarez been the man who had gone to ground.
He claimed: “I almost guarantee that if you flipped the situation, if Luis was in the position of Valencia, he wouldn’t get a penalty.
“Reputations go in front of people at times and because Valencia is not someone who is known as a diver, he gets the decision.
“Referees have to forget who they are looking at. They just have to make the decisions.
“They have to call the shots at the time, regardless of who it is.”

He is a diver tbh
Hahaha. Coming from him, quite funny.
Also, I love how he says "He was booked last week at Sunderland, but Sunday’s was a penalty" as though it's a natural thing for his team mate to have been caught blatantly cheating just the week before.
"Despair is a narcotic. It lulls the mind into indifference."
Suarez is a quality player but a slimy little **** for sure.
He is definitely a ****, no one can deny that.
But at the same time I do think he is getting a hard time from refs in the box, which is probably down to his reputation not just for diving and going down easily, or even the way he goes down. He is disliked almost universally unlike most other players, which, tbf, if he weren't a Liverpool player I would probably go along with too. After all he denied the WHOLE OF AFRICA!
Decisions like Mertesacker where he dragged him to the floor not given and yet when other players are brushed with a finger referees can't wait to give a pel.
I wish he'd shoot rather than take someone on at least 3 times though.

Didnt King Kenny do the same last season?
Tbf the small clubs never get the decisons.Originally Posted by Ach
He's right of course.
Some of the decisions that have gone against us have been downright incompetent. And when someone like Ferguson can say United don't get favourable decisions there's no reason why we shouldn't either.
Every club thinks they're hard done by though. We're different, we actually are.

You can tell he's still a teenager.
