Luis Suarez - Why did he do it?

Why did he do it? 

The question that has been asked of football's most controversial player all too often is being asked once again; what was going through his mind; what was he feeling at the time?

Luis Suarez has gained infamy for all the wrong reasons since his arrival at Anfield. Well, since his arrival in top level football really...

There was the ridiculous goal denying handball for Uruguay against Ghana in the World Cup 2010, and the wink that followed. Then you have the biting incident in the Dutch league, when he was on Ajax' books. A 7 match ban was enforced as a result, only for Liverpool to save him from this anguish half way through it.

Since then Liverpool have had to defend him for all sorts of reasons, and found themselves talking about the player instead of the results. This, of course, is not how it should have been.

Racial slurs, diving, gestures towards fans, and now, another bite, this time on the unfortunate Branislav Ivanovic of Chelsea.

I strongly believe that he is an amazing talent, and one that Liverpool must keep hold of. He is key to their progress, and I think the Merseyside club are every bit as important to him and his career as well. But if they are to stand by him any longer, he needs to conquer his self-control issues, and most importantly of course, he needs to refrain from taking a bite out of his opponents!

Hopefully he'll bounce back from this 10 game ban he's been handed by the FA, and hopefully those anger management sessions recommended by the PFA will provide us with a changed man. Still every bit as competitive, but without the insanity that ensues...

You either love him or hate him; much the same as a certain spread you can purchase from your local supermarket. You ask me? He's fantastic and I'd hate to see him leave the premier league. 

But, I fear if he doesn't take control of himself soon, we might find that he's shipped back across the channel to grace another European league, and Liverpool are unlikely to be able to replace that level of talent in their squad should that be the case...
