Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard has launched a stinging assessment of the roles of the officials on duty at Sunday's Merseyside derby.

"If David Moyes is a real man and a real manager, which I think he is, then he will be speaking to Phil Neville about it. "With what he said about Luis Suarez before, David Moyes was trying to get in the referee's head, which is fine, that's all part of the game stuff like that, but you don't expect your captain to dive like that. "Luis Suarez was fantastic for us again. I can't control what he does when he scores a goal, I was just happy to see it hit the back of the net. "He doesn't need David Moyes to fire him up. But if people want to try to get in Luis' head and wind him up then it's the wrong thing to do."
