Sturridge on the move perhaps?

You can see why he'd be open to suggestions that there's a genetic aspect to his injury problems.

Here's a couple of snippets from a summary of Uncle Dean's career:

He was unable to put his injury problems behind him though and never regained a regular starting place for Wolves again. [...] At QPR his injury problems continued and he was only able to appear in 11 matches for the team, and never scored for them. [...] At Kidderminster he featured in six matches without finding the net, before suffering an Achilles tendon injury which ended his season prematurely.


And here's the same from Uncle Simon's career:

At Wolves he suffered a serious injury at the start of the 1996–97 and after making fleeting appearances in the next two years he left the club.


Now I don't think his own problems are likely to stem from this, but he's clearly talked himself into making sense of it all at least in part from that:

"Maybe it's my body type, maybe it's hereditary.
"Both my uncles had injuries, and my dad had them as well.


That's why think he needs to fight, and be seen to fight, against such perspectives. He needs to think of himself as a one-off, a unique player with ordinary physical problems that can be overcome. If Steve Peters is still around, he needs to be working like mad to get him thinking in that way. It's surely indubitable that he's the kind of athlete who is susceptible to certain injuries, but most of the others still have long and successful careers without all of this neuroticism and even fatalism that seems to cloud his attitude. The club needs to get all the bespoke training and recovery programmes right for him, but the mental side seems unusually important, too. And if none of that works, well, sadly, he's done, and everyone has to move on.
 
Klopp: “No. No chance for Daniel. He has had a break in training because of some issues. He’s now back training but losing time. But no team training since Newcastle. I don’t know how long it is. That’s not a situation we can think about him.”

What has Studge done for Klopp to want to freeze him out? He is easily the best striker we have.

I really don't get this reply. You've just quoted what Klopp said, he hasn't been able to put back-to-back training sessions together, so he's some way short of training with the squad. Why are people looking for some conspiracy? Was Rodgers "freezing him out" too?
 
I agree with Hamann I think - its got to the stage where a clear and simple explanation of what his injury issue is needs to be released to the fans.

Fuck "protecting the player" or by contrast casting aspersions against him or whatnot, either he is or isnt injured according to the club, and if he is, what is it that's wrong with him, and how long do we expect it to take to resolve?

West Ham transfer news: Hammers plot shock £18m offer for Liverpool England international

Comments (0)
West Ham United are ready to make an offer for Liverpool striker Daniel Sturridge as Jurgen Klopp looks to cash in on the player.
The Hammers are prepared to offer the former Chelsea forward a way out of Anfield following a disastrous spell on the sidelines.
The 26-year-old has struggled with fitness on Merseyside since making the switch three years ago and his future could lie away from the north west.
Slaven Bilic is desperate to sign a striker and has also expressed an interest in Juventus' Simone Zaza.

But Sturridge is seen as the perfect fit for the Hammers, who have aspirations of breaking into the top four of the Premier League.

Sorry have we moved from his injuries being in his head to saying his injuries are caused by his mindset now?
 
Just saw the klopp pre match regarding exeter. When they raised the question about studge it was obvious from klopps reaction that he has no interest in keeping him.
 
Unless Klopp had a sign around his neck saying "I dont want to keep Sturridge at the club", I find that hard to believe from seeing his presser.
 
There's a rumour going around twatter land that he'll never play footy again.
Some divvy said he was told by an academy player.
People are actually believing it too and are going mental.
Deleted me Facebook again the other day because me time line was full of people typing Amen because a dog had a slice of ham on it's head.
It's outta control.
 
yeah, lots of twitter rumours that he's fallen out with the club irretrievably.

Then again, other's with usual good connections are saying otherwise.

Fuck knows, but Klopp doesn't sound too pleased.
 
Roll out the body-language experts! Once more!
Not so quick.

I'm pretty sure Moron has skills acquired over a very long career in sensible posting. Skills that will make him a nightmare for people like you and me. If you let this go now that'll be the end of it. He will not look to answer you. He will not pursue, but if you don't, he will look to answer, he will post something equally moronic and you will kill him.

I heard Jerome Sinclair had persuaded studge to take on aidy ward as his fitness coach.

Jurgen Klopp has been urged to ‘stop protecting’ Daniel Sturridge and tell Liverpool fans the truth about the striker’s continued absence.
Sturridge has been a virtual ever-present in the treatment room in recent years and has made just six appearances this season, the latest at the start of December.
Klopp was reluctant to discuss the 26-year-old’s fitness issues ahead of last weekend’s clash with Manchester United, with the Reds boss giving no indication of when he will return to action.
But Anfield legend Dietmar Hamann believes his fellow German is deliberately - and wrongly - keeping supporters in the dark over Sturridge’s ongoing issues, which he is convinced are more psychological than physical.
The Champions League winner, a former teammate of Sturridge’s at Manchester City, told talkSPORT: “The club has got a responsibility to tell the paying public what is wrong with him.
"If he has got a hamstring injury, an ankle injury, or whatever he may have, the people who pay for a season ticket have got a right to know what is wrong with him.
"Judging by the way Jurgen Klopp answered his questions [ahead of the Manchester United game] I don't think there is too much wrong with the player.
“If there is nothing wrong with him, it is more important to be honest and truthful with the paying public than to protect a player who has hardly played in the last 18 months, who seems to choose when he wants to play.
“He has got three years left on his contract and I don’t see any reason, if there is nothing wrong with the player, why the club should protect him.”
In November, Klopp alluded to the idea that Sturridge’s problems could be more mental than physical, telling reporters the England international must learn the difference between “serious pain and what is only pain”.
Hamann was in the Manchester City side when Sturridge made his senior debut as a 17-year-old, and he claims it was evident in the early part of his career that the talented hitman was not willing to push himself through the pain barrier.
“There was always something wrong with him on the Thursday or the Friday. His back, his hamstring, there was always something," added Hamann.
“If you look at his record since he has played professional football he probably doesn’t average half the games a season - and it has got worse at Liverpool.
“I am not saying he is pretending to be injured, I’m not sure. But if he is injured, say it. Nobody knows what is going on with him.
“People have spent £800 or £1000 to watch Liverpool at home and sometimes even away and the star player is not playing and nobody knows where he is.
“If there isn’t a problem with him, then it is time to stop protecting the player.”

Was he sitting down? With some microphones in front of him?

If so, I agree, it's patently obvious he wants Sturridge out judging by that.

If he was also answering questions at the time, this is merely further confirmation.
 
I thought that Klopp had indicated on multiple occasions what the issue with Sturridge is...

He isn't fit enough and his body keeps on breaking down. I'd imagine some muscles are working harder than others and he's not had the opportunity to recover properly over the last few years. Its not unusual for other muscle groups to be impacted through a flow on effect after a serious injury.

The media ask Klopp at every opportunity yet they ignore his responses. Sometimes the simple answer is the truth .
 
This thread is like an invitation for all the bat-shit crazy, conspiracy theorists to come out to play. It's like fucking cat-nip.
Sturridge's fitness issues are, apparently, due to the fact that he spends most friday afternoons eating peanut butter & banana sandwiches with Elvis, who he met when they were both victims to an alien abduction on 30th Feb 2013. The aliens strangely resembled 6ft lizards with Boston accents.
