Dalglish: Suarez would NEVER down tools at Liverpool

Liverpool legend Kenny Dalglish is convinced Luis Suarez would never down tools at Anfield. King Kenny wrote in his Sunday Mirror: "I know that positions have become entrenched and a lot has been said by both sides but I don't think it's too late for Luis Suarez to return to the fold at Liverpool.

"Put it this way: I can't see a player like Luis taking the pitch in front of 40,000 Liverpool fans and not giving his all.

"That's the type of man the Uruguay striker is. He has a relentless determination to be the best he can be and to perform for the crowd.

"I understand the points that people are making about the loyalty the club has shown him in the past, and they are right to make those points.

"I have no wish to revisit past controversies, but we showed loyalty to him because we believed he had a case. We did not attempt to defend the indefensible out of some blind loyalty to Luis.

"We did what we thought was right at the time.

"The Liverpool owner, John W Henry, stated this week that Luis is not for sale and I hope that remains the case.

"But it is also worth pointing out that transfers are part of the fabric of football."
