Michael Laudrup has cast doubt over whether Ashley Williams will shake hands with Luis Suarez tomorrow.
Swansea play host to Liverpool just four days after Williams launched a scathing attack on Suarez in his new book My Premier League Diary.
The Wales captain wrote he wanted to “knock out” Suarez during last season’s game at Anfield and also accused him of diving.
And Laudrup, Williams manager at Swansea, admits he is not sure if the pair will respect the pre-match Fair Play handshake.
Laudrup said: “I really don’t know. Fair play is important for me, but again if two persons do not want to shake hands then I don’t know.”
But Laudrup backed his commanding centre-back to keep his cool in the potentially heated atmosphere as Swansea welcome back former manager Brendan Rodgers to the Liberty Stadium for the first time.
Not bothered: Laudrup has not spoken to Williams about his book
Laudrup added: “I haven’t spoken to Ashley about what he said in the book.
“But I know him well enough and he’ll be focused on the game, whatever was said.
“He will play by the book on Sunday! I don’t think he will lose his head because he won’t be sending any Christmas cards to Suarez.
“But it’s nothing that will bother my sleep at night.
“What is important for me is that I know I’ve got a player who I’m 100 per cent confident that he will do a great job, even if he plays against a player he doesn’t like because of certain things.”
Swansea, who are one point and a place above Liverpool in 10th, are set to recall Ki Sung-Yueng in midfield with goal-scoring forward Michu expected to return up front to lead the line.

Latest news is Rodgers called Ashley on the phone and discussed matter.
Now says no animosity between players.
Got such thing meh?
Can call opposing team players to chit chat?

Williams could get into trouble with the FA if he isn't seen to be trying to make up for this. Anyway, Rodgers have lesser to say considering he was the manager who sanctioned his book in the first place... I bet if he was still at Swansea, he would still be all for it... lol.

I do not get this, why the hell is this guy so hyped out about snubbing Suarez? Despo for some media attention?
-
Because of Suarez's behaviour since he join tem till recently before the Everton game was very poor sportsmanship.
Pool fans obvious will find it hard to understand as they can't see his antics due to the jersey he have on. Most are blinded by it however there are still some who don't agree with his attitude too.
But since that Everton game, his behaviour has improved a great deal. Ironically, so have his scoring abilities and form overall. Maybe it's something Rodgers has spoken to him about where Kenny was too shy to point out to him the whole of last season.
Hope he don't return to his previous self again.

All forms of management can be classified as no-win. Not just soccer. Accepting the manager's job in any company is like drinking from poisoned chalice.

Henderson and Downing playing.
Liverpool is playing with 9 men only.
-
Williams did a very good job leh... Only thing the match was very boring.

You cannot expect their passing football to be like barca.

Downing lousy piece of shit as usual....i dun even have to see the game to know he failed to have any impact on the game.
Henderson a bit disappointing for me, but you cant play him and Allen together. Both of thems' favourite is to pass side ways. And you end up seeing the game of 2 teams making hundrsds of sideway passes and nothing came out of it.
