Kenny Dalglish tells Paul Scharner to worry about his own game after the West Brom midfielder accused Luis Suarez of diving.

Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish has defended Luis Suarez after West Bromwich Albion's Paul Scharner accused the striker of diving.

Scharner was critical of Suarez after the Uruguayan striker won a penalty in Liverpool's 2-0 win against West Brom last weekend.

However, Dalglish has insisted that Suarez doesn't dive and advised Scharner to worry about his own game.

"Scharner? Oh well, he's a good player", said Dalglish,

"That's him who came off injured? I think players should just concentrate on getting publicity for what they do on the pitch.

"What Luis Suarez does for us is fantastic. For us, there is nothing to defend. With Luis, I think people try to criticise him because he is such a good player. Rather than wax lyrical about him, they try to find a fault that they see in him, but which isn't really there."

Dalglish also had to defend Suarez from accusations of diving after Liverpool's Merseyside derby win over Everton earlier this season.
