Arsenal legend Wright: Liverpool's Suarez must admit he needs help

Arsenal legend Ian Wright has offered Liverpool striker Luis Suarez advice over his biting incident.

Wright wrote in The Sun: "I watched him bite Branislav Ivanovic on Sunday with as much amazement as everybody else.

"But my first reaction was not so much about how much he would and should be vilified.

"My first thought was: 'You seriously need help, mate - and you need to realise it.'

"If he has the demons inside to make him act like that, then he has a problem. A big problem. Suarez has admitted there are times he goes home and his missus asks: 'What have you done now? Why have you done it?'

"Well, I guarantee he would not be able to tell you - and I speak from experience.

"There was the time I swung a punch at David Howells in a North London derby in 1992 and my wife asked what I was thinking. I honestly did not know.

"There was the time I abused Spurs fans and stuck two fingers up at Coventry supporters. I knew I had inner demons so I sought help - and still speak to someone even now.

"It does not matter if every person at Anfield tells Suarez he needs it, until he realises it, he won't solve a thing."
