I personally believe this is all SAF's doing. Do recall his pre match comments about Suarez. Very clear he was bringing the media's attention to Suarez, especially his diving habits.
Ever since SAF made those pre match comments, Liverpool have become a scapegoat in the press, by commentators etc. Even the refs have been letting teams escape with obvious fouls on our players.

Once you are the threat to SAF, you are going down!
Like it or not, that whiskey soaked ah pek has too much influence on English Football.
