Darren Anderton retired a decade ago mate.
He must have by now.I thought the thread was about Anderton dying or something.

I've said before a few times (what are we on here for but to repeat ourselves, eh?) that I always felt there was something off about him as a Liverpool player from the off - he didn't feel like ours and watching him play at his peak for us, he was just weirdly too good to be true.
He may as well not exist as far as I'm concerned. He hasn't registered for a long time.
I have started to wonder if Sturridges fitness in the season we finished second had anything to do with playing alongside Suarez, was he focused on the competition he had with Luis or the success of the team and not his own bodies niggles?
Good question. I'd go for a version of the second of those suggestions. A fair bit of the Studge's problem is in his head, and I suspect that was effectively bypassed while he was riding the wave of a fantastic season when everything we touched turned to goals.
There's something I'd add though. Maybe because of the above, at least partly anyway, we seemed to have got a handle on his injuries too. It's hard to overstate the damage that idiot Hodgson did to our fortunes when he ignored our requests on how to train the Studge for England. 😡
I'm beginning to think that Hodgson may have thought that Sturridge was malingering whilst on England duty and it's easy to see why. If we really had got a handle on his training and injuries surely we could have returned him to that regime quickly but we are now talking a season and a half since his last run of games for us. You wouldn't get the luxury of spells of absence like this in a regular job, it's fast moving to the time when something has to be decided.
How much money is Sturridge on?
Let's face it each time he returns we expect him out within a couple of weeks. I don't see any problem taking the gamble of keeping him out for a longer period in the hope of getting him fully fit once again.
