Brighton manager Gus Poyet slams 'hypocrisy' in criticism of Luis Suarez

Gus Poyet has hit out at the exaggerated reaction to Luis Suarez's bite on Branislav Ivanovic and is not sure whether the Liverpool striker will stay in the Premier League.

Poyet accepts that the way Suarez plays his football will divide opinion, but believes he is often misunderstood by English audiences. "They think they know the reasons why he plays how he plays," Poyet explained. "He learnt to play in a certain way and he will do everything possible to win a football match; sometimes too much. He knows that better than you and me. "Some people like him, some people don't. If he plays for your team, you will probably like him and if he plays against your team, more people will hate him."
