Daniel Sturridge set to quit Liverpool over injury criticism - report

The England international is frustrated with questioning of his desire to play.

LIVERPOOL STRIKER DANIEL Sturridge reportedly wants to leave the club over criticism of his injury record.

The England international, who has featured just six times this season following only 19 appearances in the previous campaign, is desperate to rebuild his career and the Mirror report that he believes he may only be able to do that away from Anfield.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has already admitted that patience is not his “best skill” but that, with Sturridge, he had “no other choice.”

The 26-year-old signed a five-year, £140,000 per week contract in 2014 and Liverpool’s top-four aspirations could rely on him getting fit for the remainder of the campaign.

If fit, the former Chelsea player is likely to feature in England’s attack at Euro 2016. However, as per the last 18 months of his career, the ‘if fit’ comes with a massive question mark.

    Blame the players, Blame the fans, Blame the Ref, Blame the IRFU, Blame the Media. But what ever you do do not blame the Coach. Nothing to do with him.

    Would mean a lot more if CJ, Murray, POM etc came out and said this rather than an underperforming London Irish reserve who was given a cushy contract from his old buddy.

    Or a player who has represented Munster almost 150 times, won two Heineken cups with them and a grand slam with Ireland and you’ve been giving Leinster fans grief for how long about gopperth?

    Don’t forget he was selected for the Lions in 09 before he suffered a horrific injury.

    We have been blaming the players…one or two for almost 2 years now. Yet the coaching staff still picks them as if there’s no wrong they can do while at the same time getting rid of much better ones.

    Well said, all you’ve to do is look at how well they are playing in English and French leagues.

    It was true when the Leinster boys said it last year and it’s true now.

    Bad enough letting this clown play never mind talking. In every game he does something brain dead.

    Please name some alternatives? This ‘clown’ has on several occasions been instrumental to Munster and Ireland’s success be it at scrum half or filling in at outside center and wing.. he’s not perfect but he deserves your respect

    Kicking the ball out of touch against leinster in 2011 when the clock hit. He kicks possession away time and again .His shove against redden the last day was also hilarious . He just doesn’t use his head a dangerous thing in a position so tactical so in other words anyone could replace him.
