It is ridiculous that so many people are having a go at Sturridge because he is injured - I have never seen a player slated so much for getting injured. It isn't like it's deliberate is it? it will be as frustrating for him as it is for us - I certainly don't think he is bottling it, or doing it on purpose, or deserves constant criticism from fans because of it. Should we play him with a knock and then have an even more serious injury to deal with? Don't really know what you expect from an injured player - he is trying to get back fit, is having really bad luck - why is this worthy of abuse?

That's what I said, he turns up to a lot of matches so it's not like he's just at home pulling a balotelli sickie.

Well, I am not siding with the slaters, but people are just frustrated that we can't utilize our greatest talent. Sometimes frustration is expressed the wrong way. I don't think anyone genuinely doesn't like the lad.

Take a pay as you play contract and get the f*** off Instagram and stay behind the scenes. All these 'thanks to God' or taking pics of a new outfit or some new shoes, walking around just fine is not doing his image any good. It's very easy to come to games, daglish, Rush etc always come to the games and they don't represent the club like he does. He's probably made to come anyway. I'm not saying don't enjoy yourself, but there's a way to enjoy yourself and seem serious about your situation. He's the highest paid player I think, and he's missed more games than he's played. Probably the most injury prone 'athlete' in the world. All this nonsense about we shouldn't have a go at him, how about I have a very good job that has a very good salary and I am unable to attend half the time because I constantly get very bad illnesses, that aren't my fault, Eventually my employer would be like your not fit for this job and its demands. That is life, it's easy enough as it is for playing footballers to earn that much money let alone ones sitting on the sidelines all the time. So please, understand that it's time to move on from Sturridge.

I have not slated him for his injuries. What I have said on many occassions is that at some point, the club will have to make a decision if they will continue to pay him for not playing or to cut their losses. If people think this is not a possibility then for sure, they are living in cloud cookoo land. This is professional sports and if you cannot stay healthy and produce on a consistent basis, my scenario will eventually come up. That is a fact and a reality of life so I suggest people get off their self-righteous horses and get with the program because I certainly have even tho, I love studge and want him to play and have a good career.

Well kman. Sturridge is not your employee, he is the club's and they will definitely be looking into this.

You and me, we are supporters which though doesn't mean we have to be blind fanboys but also doesn't mean that you pretend to be a ruthless manager of multi million dollar enterprise and talk abt firing people or moving them on.

I thought Milner was the best paid player in the squad, but i might be wrong there.

@ coop - I understand the frustrations, of course I do, we want the best players available. But I don't think he warrants the volume of negativity being given either.

@ Kman92 - welcome to football: exorbitant wages, exorbitant prices. This is not Sturridge's fault nor is it his fault that his market value is as such. Not sure what him taking pictures on twitter/instagram has to do with anything - if he takes a picture of his new shoes does that mean he isn't trying hard enough? I don't know, I think you are making a big leap for the sake of your argument and I think the leap you have made has little relation to reality.

@ Redohio - you are right that the club will have to make a decision should this continue, I do not dispute that. I still don't see how a player having multiple injuries warrants abuse, especially as he conducts himself (to me knowledge) well off the field with both fans and fellow players. It's not like he is being Balotelli yet the abuse is just endless. I don't agree with it - nothing to do with me being on my high horse - I have simply never seen a player given so much abuse because they are injury prone. We've had other injury prone players before who never had this sort of vitriol directed at them, I don't understand it.

Seano, I respect your point. I just feel that people are getting frustrated and rightfully so. Now for that to lead to abuse of one of ours like it or not, is beyond the pale and should not be tolerated hence, you`re right to call out the culprits.

27 Nov 2015 18:12:21
I may be wrong but I thought Studge was teetotal, unlike our record signing who injured himself falling off a bar stool.? )

27 Nov 2015 18:43:40
@ redohio - I have no qualms with people getting frustrated - we all want to see the lad back, i'm frustrated too! - but the abuse and negativity is just going way over board. I agree with your original comment though, if the injuries persist then a decision is going to have to be made as, given the wages/game time ratio, there will be question marks about money. At this time Sturridge still retains value - if he undergoes another 12 months of stop-start injuries? I suspect much of his value will have vanished. It is tricky, from a boardroom perspective.

@ Scottishdave - pretty sure he is teetotal, think he mentioned it in an interview a while back. And as for Carroll? LOL still by far the worst signing I have seen any team make - £35million, I will never get my head around it.
