Suarez is no diver - Enrique

The Reds striker endured a frustrating evening against Norwich on Saturday when he came close to scoring on a number of occasions, and was left frustrated when no foul was given after Marc Tierney appeared to bring down the Uruguayan when he was clean through on goal. Enrique believes Tierney should have been sent off and responded to recent comments from Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson that Suarez goes down too easily. "The truth is that it should have been a red card for their defender because he kicked Luis," Enrique told the Liverpool Echo. "But I don't think what happened was down to anything that was said last week. Referees sometimes make mistakes like all of us. "Last week, he (Ferguson) defended his team because we played them. The truth is Luis is a really dangerous player and is a really nice guy. He doesn't dive. "Some of the Manchester United players (go down like they) dive into the swimming pool. They defend their team, we defend our team - that's normal. "When you lose two points at home, no-one is positive but Luis did really well. He had a lot of chances and was just unlucky."
