      The same way a new player need a run of games to settle into the club. All the practice in the world is no substitute for minutes on the pitch.
      If Jürgen built his team around Daniel ( and I'm not suggesting he should), Todd probably see a more potent Sturridge in front of goal, but Sturridge is being asked to play out of his comfort zone.
      Let him stand in the 6 yard box and he'd score goals regularly, but we'd probably lose those games due to him not chasing down defenders.
      He will do well elsewhere, I'd suggest he go to Celtic and live like a king.

      Yep, but it's impossible to do when the fella takes 6 months out for a torn cuticle.

      Maybe that's why Klopp has got him to bulk up?
      Make him a bit more robust maybe?

      Worked for Scott Sinclair didn't it, suddenly he's even scoring goals in the Champions League too.

      You don't half talk some sh*te.

      Sturridge has bulked up a fair bit, and his body is still adapting, simple as that.
      A blind man can see how much bigger he is.

      A far cry from a Gerrard approaching his mid 30's who had adductor problems and subsequent infections (also in his foot) that meant he actually had muscle and bone removed and was unable to properly extend when running.

      Here is the thing... I know I am not always right, and i accept that... You on the other hand think that you are always right and make no allowances that you are every wrong, nor would you accept that you could every be... Do us both a favor and stick me on your ignore list....  xxxxx:action-smiley-065:

      Nope.
      It's just that I don't post about something if I know nothing about it or don't have a strong opinion about.

      You think it's OK for you to stick to your opinion, but not OK for me to stick to mine.

      You post sh*te constantly, and try to pass it off as fact, and the real fact is that your knowledge of football is next to zero.

      If you want me on ignore, do it yourself.

      I find your inane ramblings somewhat amusing, in a "laugh at the idiot" kind of way.

      Sturridge is one of the most gifted footballers of his generation, but as Klopp alluded to, his "injury" problems are mostly in his mind.
      In an effort to combat this seeming fragility, Klopp has him bulked up.
      The exact opposite that he did with Gomez.
      Bulking up means his body has to adapt, it means he loses a bit of speed, and in the short term, a bit of sharpness.

      To say that a 28 year olds "legs are gone" when he has never had a serious injury shows a lack of knowledge that is remarkable for someone who paints themself as the fount of all football knowledge, particularly in light of your insistence that the fella from Burnley is miles better than Lovren.

      You're F***ing clueless fella.
      Either stick to rounders, and gay rugby, or at least try to listen to people who have been in the midst of this sport for >50 years.

      Now lets look at your posted reply to me (I'll let people who gives a f**k compere your post to me and your other post

      Nope.

      That is what most people do here is it not.... People either know what they are talking about or have a strong opinion   

      You think it's OK for you to stick to your opinion, but not OK for me to stick to mine.

      Wrong... I have said here on occasions too numerous to mention that people are entitled to their opinions and know one opinion is either right or wrong that they are all just opinions

      You post sh*te constantly, and try to pass it off as fact,

      that's your opinion...as what i post is mine


      and the real fact is that your knowledge of football is next to zero.

      Funny that you are the one here throwing his opinions a round as fact


      If you want me on ignore, do it yourself.

      For someone so intelligent as you profess to be you fail to notice that unless you seek out  something that i have posted in reply to someone else I do not reply to anything you post,( or you take snipe at me like the "Evangelist" post where you tried to make out to others that it was me doing the fishing to get your goat up

      I find your inane ramblings somewhat amusing, in a "laugh at the idiot" kind of way.

      Glad that I amuse you.... Can imagine how bored you must get without other kids your age to play with...

      And you learnt this in one of your many conversations with Herr Klopp...??

      To say that a 28 year olds "legs are gone" when he has never had a serious injury shows a lack of knowledge that is remarkable for someone who paints themself as the fount of all football knowledge, particularly in light of your insistence that the fella from Burnley is miles better than Lovren.

      Never tried to  "Paint myself as the fount of all football knowledge", or any other knowledge... Have often said (maybe not here) that you can learn even from a Child, and that the more you find out you realize it's the less you know

      You're f**king clueless fella.

      listen to people who have been in the midst of this sport for >50 years... Funny that (a) you think that you are the only one who thinks he has any knowledge of football (b) that your knowledge or participants either out weights or exceeds mine guess that what happens when you thinking that you know everything and are never wrong... Your knowledge of Liverpool may exceed mine when it comes to their history etc, but here's a bullet in... When it comes to sports injuries and how a manager gets players into shape after and injury... Laughable

      I have said this here on more than one occasion.... When my bother told me that I had to pick a team to support, He started giving me the nick name and being young when he told me Arsenal were the Gunners I choose them.... Later on that night I saw Steve Heighway bombing down the wing, and felling love with Liverpool.., listen to people who have been in the midst of this sport for >50 years  :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

      Absolute F***ing nonsense, Sturridge has lost his pace and whilst a run of games would see him hopefully being able to actually score a few more from all the chances he gets every game there are far better options even within our squad. I'd much rather give Solanke a run of games than Sturridge.

      No doubts for me when fully fit Sturridge is far & away our no. 1 striker,but Klopp has to rotate the strikers . For me our best strike force is Mane , Sturridge , Salah front 3 . Coutinho '10' role.

      Totally agree mate, unfortunately though I've a feeling it's more of a past tense thing, like this "No doubts for that he was fully fit Sturridge was far and away our number one striker".

      Sturridge is the best player for me. He is the perfect striker and  also been used as a winger on occasion.
      The whole day is not the same. Maybe he'll have a good day in feature.

      I just think that he no longer has the legs to play the way Klopp would want him to... He lacks the acceleration and speed he once had, and yes injury has played it's part, and he will still score goals for the instinct and finishing are still there, but he is now shackled by the lacks the acceleration,speed and pace to get into those danger areas where players like Vardy, Kane Morata etc can get into therefor he will never be a twenty goal a season striker again (not that he ever truly was)... And to think/suggest that The manager has made him "Bulk Up" to help with his injury problems is at best "laughable" and at worst "ignorant" ...The majority of Sturridge's injuries have been leg (muscle/joint) and hip related...

       Bulking up would do nothing to help solve the problems and could in fact serve to exacerbate it.. You would need to work on strengthening the muscles and ligaments around those areas as well as adding more flexibility in the muscle,ligaments and joints.... When asked Ryan Giggs said that he has had to change the way he thinks on the pitch but that he is still "living the dream".

      "The yoga has definitely helped me,".... "It helps me train every day because it gives me the flexibility and the strength not only to play the game but to train as well."

      Had Sturridge been given this advice or had been pushed this way early in his career perhaps we (LFC) would not need a new striker and would be discussing the new contract Sturridge was being offered

       Bulking up would do nothing to help solve the problems and could in fact serve to exacerbate it.. You would need to work on strengthening the muscles and ligaments around those areas as well as adding more flexibility in the muscle,ligaments and joints.... When asked Ryan Giggs said that he has had to change the way he thinks on the pitch but that he is still "living the dream".

      "The yoga has definitely helped me,".... "It helps me train every day because it gives me the flexibility and the strength not only to play the game but to train as well."

      Had Sturridge been given this advice or had been pushed this way early in his career perhaps we (LFC) would not need a new striker and would be discussing the new contract Sturridge was being offered



      Looks like he has a propensity to get injured between November and Jan too, for long periods, on a pretty consistent basis.

      Not encouraging with the winter months on our doorstep once again.

      I just think that he no longer has the legs to play the way Klopp would want him to... He lacks the acceleration and speed he once had, and yes injury has played it's part, and he will still score goals for the instinct and finishing are still there, but he is now shackled by the lacks the acceleration,speed and pace to get into those danger areas where players like Vardy, Kane Morata etc can get into therefor he will never be a twenty goal a season striker again (not that he ever truly was)... And to think/suggest that The manager has made him "Bulk Up" to help with his injury problems is at best "laughable" and at worst "ignorant" ...The majority of Sturridge's injuries have been leg (muscle/joint) and hip related...

      Not going to dispute you on the injury/fitness thing mate, only a knob would do that.  ;)

      But for your acceleration and pace thing, there have been a myriad of strikers down the years who either didn't have pace to begin with or who lost it and coped.

      People have ONLY written him off because Klopp hasn't used him much. Okay, when he has played apart from scoring against Arsenal, and getting an assist for the winner against Leicester he hasn't played that well. But he's largely been a bit part player in that. You show me a striker who can find that kind of form we expect from him while fleeting in and out the team that consistently.

      I'm not convinced entirely he is done and dusted. If he didn't have half the quality he has, and wasn't (on form), the the best striker we have, then I could have my arm twisted.

      I am not saying that he has not done well all things considered, only that he as lost a lot of the things that made him one of the most fared strikers in the Premier league... He will have to change the way he plays... Now whether or not he can remains to be seen, and will it suit the way Klopp likes to play...?? That also remains to be seen... But my gut feeling is he is done.... But hey, I could be wrong  ;D
