Ferdinand:
"Wayne gets picked on a little bit. People want to make an example of who he is. You see images on TV when he is shouting his frustrations but he is no different from a lot of players. Referees book him when others get three or four opportunities to make a foul. They get away with it but referees are sometimes quick to give him a booking.
"But his disciplinary record has improved. Let's not forget, he is a young lad with a lot on his plate."
