John Barnes: ridiculous for Liverpool to sack Luis Suarez after bite on Chelsea defender Branislav Ivanovic If you're saying because of what he's done he should never play for Liverpool again, who should he play for? Whoever signs him, it's going to reflect badly that they sign a player who Liverpool deem from a moral perspective not good enough. So Manchester United, Real Madrid, Barcelona... they can sign him? But we can't have him? If you're questioning his moral character, what you're actually saying is that if he can't play for Liverpool he can't play for anyone, which is ridiculous. The reflection on Liverpool is their response to the actions and their response is right. The response from (managing director) Ian Ayre and the club is 'it's completely unacceptable and we will not accept it'. The player looks set to face a lengthy ban for the incident, with Barnes saying Liverpool should wait until the Football Association has dealt with the matter before possibly dishing out their own sanctions. "The FA should act first and Liverpool will then see what punishment is meted out and then come up with their own conclusions, because they could ban him for five or seven games and then he gets another 10-game ban for the FA rather than the FA banning him or doing whatever they have to do first," he said. They should see what the FA do and then respond after. Former Liverpool player David Fairclough believes it would be "extreme" for the Reds to decide to sell Suarez in the wake of yesterday's incident. He said: "I don't think you can take an extreme view like that. He's the best player in the team at the moment, he's one of the best players in the world, his ability is unquestioned and his performances this season have generally been top class, so to just wipe their hands of him and send him packing I think would be a little bit extreme. The 56-year-old, who netted 55 goals in 175 appearances for the Reds during the 1970s and 80s, added: "It's obviously not good for Liverpool, it has besmirched Liverpool's name. Certainly Liverpool don't want to be in the news this morning for this type of thing. Clearly Luis needs a little bit of help, he has an anger issue I suspect, that's his drive to win and compete. I think Liverpool have to try and work with Luis Suarez, he's shown improvement in other ways over the last 18 months to two years and hopefully they can find a suitable solution, but it would be dramatic just to let him go just on this incident. I don't want to make a sweeping statement and say he should be transferred straight away or protected either way, I think there has to be discussion.
