Daniel Sturridge

[Stanbull]

We should play Sturidge in goal, must be better than the two useless sods we have now

[Charly]

Someone (here or elsewhere) noted that he always seems to be injured just when a chance comes a-calling (with Coutinho out for weeks) and for Christmas, and that what is initially described as a minor strain/knock always turns into something more significant.

Sturridge never struck me as someone who'd shrug off a niggling pain. A club can't really keep him just for the chance he'll come off the bench and score the winner once in a blue moon.

Some injuries you cant shrug off. Most of his are muscle related no? He obviously has a chronic problem, but pushing through the pain barrier tends to be a bad idea for obvious reasons.

I think it sad, and a waste of a talented player. I am starting to think we need to plan for long term without him.

There are some players who are plagued with injury for a lot of their career, and some for whom it gets sorted as they get older ( stevie g and rob jones come to mind).

I rwally hope he sorts it out, but I find it all the more depressing when our own fans come out with some of the **** we have seen here. I am guilty of slating players when they lack quality, or dont put the effort in.

But up until recently (or maybe even still?) He had a better scoring ratio than Rush, Fowler, Owen, Aldridge, Torres, and Suarez... For that alone he deserves some kind of respect, no?

[Fosterbloke]

Agreed, it's disappointing but it's not his fault he's injury prone.

Shrugging off a niggling pain related to a muscle injury. That's enlightenment of the highest order from redmike.

Are you saying I'm wrong in my assessment of Sturridge character or merely his current knock? I was talking generally not about whatever ails him right now.

Having never met the guy, I prefer to give him the benefit of doubt until it has been shown otherwise. I imagine its pretty depressing from his point of view too. Its not like we are seeing stories of him acting unprofessionally on and off the pitch ( at least since he came to Anfield).

[Buzzo]

Even by his own standards the timing of this injury is rotten. Do we know how long he is out for?

[redmike65]

He is out until God gives him the okay

Seriously though, who knows? Has he ever come back on a scheduled date? It always seems to be shrouded in fog with him.

[baitman]

He is out until God gives him the okay

then all we can do is pray

Ha even Bascombe is taking the piss...
Sturridge continues his exasperating habit of feeling a muscle twinge every time he opens a window in the advent calendar. (Chris Bascombe)

This mofo Sturridge is more high maintenance than Kim K

[baitman]

sturridge is feeling more muscles [twinges] than aki

[Charly]

I aint a doctor, but could there be a connection between the temperature and his likelyhood of damaging a muscle? Maybe he needs to move to Spain.

Says the man who was posting hysterical laughing when we said we get 25C in summer

Its a point though. Birmingham is well known for its temperate climate.

[Harv]

It was 36C here today.
