Daniel Sturridge

[SB]

Ings will be sold in summer imo and it's early days for Solanke. In theory they may fit our style but Sturridge is more talented than both of them combined. I don't see this as a break out season for Solanke...needs time just a kid.

I don’t know where the confidence in Sturidge comes from mate cause I have zero expectations when I see him play for us now. He’s sadly lost all form & is a shadow of his former self. I’d love to have the Sturidge of old but I have more faith in Solanke cause he looks hungry & gives a damn.

He needs games like every player (same goes for Solanke & Ings) but Firmino has been so good he can't get a look in. Sturridge may have lost a yard but that touch and his instinct don't suddenly just disappear.

Sturridge probably needs a new club but until we get a proper replacement, it wouldn't make sense selling him now imo. I even think we should loan him first before selling, as if he starts scoring again price cold increase.

Yeah loaning him for 3 months could make sense if we can do that & recall him if we need him?

It's mad, I loved Sturridge. A real serious Rolls Royce of a centre forward at his peak. He had the lot. And yet, especially after today, it really feels like he's yesterday's news.

[SB]

Sad but true & yeah I felt the same about him. Can’t see a way back in our current set up

I just feel he doesn't suit us any more and at the same time his powers have been reduced. A run of games somewhere where they look to play a forward in and that might be shown to be wrong but it won't happen with us. He's a good enough player, with enough good will in reserve, that I would like to see him paying somewhere.

I feel like Shelvey at Newcastle would look for balls to him a lot - so that along with the Rafa connection means I'm hoping for that rumoured loan to come off.

I agree, doesn't fit our game style. We are very reliant on having our front men doing a lot of pressing and taking initiative to do so. Firmino, Salah, Lallana and Mane are all great at this, and Coutinho were also pretty good at it (partly a reason why Barca went for him I reckon)!

Sturridge isn't defensively aware enough, and have lost part of hi mojo at the same time, so letting him go makes sense.

That said, for 2 seasons he was the bomb!

Is Sturridge injured just now?

Is Sturridge injured just now?

He was pictured training late last week

[Chris]

Back training I think.

Still one of the best strikers I've ever seen here, though I feel history won't be kind to him as it was short lived and Suarez was here at the same time. It's really **** how his body has let him down. Defo the time to upgrade if possible though, he just looks so out of place when he plays now, even the games he scored in earlier in the season he looked poor and if we had a big game and Firmino was out I don't think the manager would even trust him to play.

[Buzzo]

I think his injuries came a t a terrible time for him in terms of the changes that were occuring with our style of play.

He has amazing skills, and on form is one of the best finishers around. He just doesnt suit the style of play Klopp has implemented and is nowhere near the grafter Firmino is. Sturridge has an old school CF mentality, he wants to score goals. Our gameplan requires a more sacrificial style of centre forward play.

[Assassin]

Fantastic striker....however, his body/stamina are not compatible with counter pressing. He would thrive in a less physical league.....La Liga for example

[Fosterbloke]

He should play for PSG if Cavani gets fed up.

[Angryred]

Sturridge should be let go to a club in the PL who have the capacity to inflict damage to any of our top 6 rivals & have ambitions to qualify for Europe next year...The likes of Watford or Burnley?

Would not surprise me at all if Klopp brings him back into the squad next game
