Im really happy for dan sturridge. He is class. And he shut up a few of the haters up today.
{Ed025's Note - he did mark, unfortunately it wont be long until he shoots himself in the foot again mate..
15 May 2017 09:02:14
Hes injured enough times, if he shoots himself in d foot he may retire.
15 May 2017 09:21:52
That's a bit harsh Ed are you suggesting he is at fault for his injury record or something else by the foot shooting remark? Leicester won the League so it's not impossible that he can remain fit now a good part of next season with a full pre season.
{Ed025's Note - some players will declare themselves unfit if they have a broken finger nail or split ends higgins, and im afraid daniel is one of them mate..
15 May 2017 09:38:31
Broken finger nail. that's harsh. Lol.
Opinions will always be divided about Sturridge. Obviously, Sturridge wants to stay but it's left for Klopp to decide if he can count on him.
{Ed025's Note - thats right realtofel and i think its a 50/50 call, if he grew a set and stopped being such a drama queen he could be up there with the best mate..

Are his injuries more a legacy of being forced to over train with England? If he has the mindset you suggested surely he would just not have trained due to being a bit achey? Either way thanks for clarifying I only know what I read from this site in terms of his attitude in that respect and understand from previous posts that Ed01 and yourself have different opinions. Imagine that from a LIverpool and Everton supporter 😄ðŸ‘ðŸ». We will leave it there hope he stays fit and good health to all!
{Ed025's Note - i happen to think hes an excellent player higgins but frustrates the life out of me mate..

No split ends for a few weeks anyway, after that haircut.
{Ed025's Note - just his nails to worry about then ken.. :)

I think a podcast about sturridge rehab pitting ed025 vs ed01 is in order.!
{Ed025's Note - living in different countries makes that difficult faith, plus ED001 does not really respect my opinions on liverpool matters as my glasses have a slight blue tint mate.. :)

I don't think he's making a meal out of his injuries at all ed. I've suffered from muscular injuries the last few seasons and I've tried playing through pain and whatever but it will make things worse and you'll be out for longer. If you're injured, you're injured and there's not a lot you can do about it. I guarantee that those giving him the criticism don't realise how frustrating it is to be sidelined and watching on. We all know Sturridge wants to play after all.
I only get injuries in my left leg which is odd but a physio told me that my left leg is slightly longer than my right (about 1cm) and this could be the cause. I wonder that Sturridge may have the same problem (as well as others) . Just a thought but there isn't really a lot you can do about that.
{Ed025's Note - sorry to hear about your injuries there daredman, but with studge i cant get past the picture of him lying on a sun lounger in miami sipping a cocktail in the sun when he was in rehab while the team were playing in the cold of winter, klopp once asked "how injured are you?" and its a valid question, do you play if you have a slight cough or mild headache? or even a slight strain?, when i played men were men and you just got on with it mate..but maybe its just me..

Only a really slight blue tint though ed, it's nice to hear the opinions of someone who doesn't support us.
{Ed025's Note - i do try and be as fair as possible mikey especially with my 2 lads being red hot liverpudlians, i dont know where i went wrong there mate.. :)
15 May 2017 11:20:41
I just think sturridge needs time to get back to his best mentally and physically. He very well may be closer to both heading into next season. Would love to see it.
15 May 2017 11:49:21
You must have married well then Ed! Some girls are more forgiving of a mans faults than others ;)
{Ed025's Note - well i did rescue her from the dingle zimbo but i wont hold that against her, kids hey...never do as they are bloody well told mate.. :)

Sturridge is well known to spout injury over any problem. Tp the point where in klopps first season sturridge just returned and within a week was out again and klopp had to talk in the media about players not always being 100% feet etc.
15 May 2017 16:19:39
Sorry but Ed25 is spot on. There is no professional player on this planet that is always hundred 100% fit to play all the time. That is just a fact. Even those of us who played amateur footie, played and still play through injuries and knocks and niggles.
I played with a bad ankle and sore knees for years. You know why I could play through them? Cos I was in very good physical condition to begin with (didn't smoke, barely drank and had personal fitness sessions for myself) . Same with players like CR7, Firmino, Messi and the lot. They are in great physical condition and take care of themselves off the pitch. If you are not doing that, you will feel like you have to be pain-free to play. Good luck with that in any physical sport.
This is why Klopp asked Studge, "How injured are you? " The man knows what he's saying cos he actually played the game professionally and prolly played through injuries cos he was the capt. and leader of Mainz. That is the prob with Studge and it may be too late for him to fix it.
