Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers admits he feels let down by Luis Suarez over his remarks this week.
The club have backed Suarez throughout his trials and tribulations at Anfield, with Rodgers being particularly vociferous in his defence in the past.
"Professionally, Luis Suarez has given me everything since I came into the football club, but there is obviously a way in which you have to speak," Rodgers said.
"This is a club that has offered Luis Suarez the utmost respect since the day he walked through the door.
"That's something that over the course of the coming weeks you need to have when you work for Liverpool Football Club. You've got supporters and players that have given Luis Suarez absolutely everything - they backed him to the hilt.
"Even at the weekend, when we had Steven Gerrard's testimonial game, the supporters raised the roof for him. That's something that I will always fight to retain at the football club, because that is what Liverpool is about - respect, humility and real dignity."
