For me,(ME ME BLOODY ME) regardless of what condition you are in, if you are selected by the manager of England you go out there and do the best you can, regardless of whether you are injured or not.

WHAT!!!

Me me bloody ME, yet again!
"The manager (Roy Hodgson) gave me that opportunity and it was a pleasure to put the England shirt on. "Fit or not fit, you go out.

Me me bloody me!

I've already said this last week, but... cough cough, who actually does this knob play for for the rest of the year, and who actually pays his wages.

Sorry, but club muust ALWAYS come before country, especially as we're simply talking about a poxy meaningless friendly.
He'd have gained immense respect if he'd come out and said, "sorry. as much as I want to play for the national team, especially in this w.c year, I feel it is much more important on this occasion to get myself fully for for the club and wc campaigns that lie ahead over the next 7 months.

Agree Growler, but if are only chance of beating a Hull is determined by Sturridge being fit or not we should turn off the lights and go home now.

and where is his bad attitude? He should never have been put in the position of being asked to play when he was not 100% I still fail to see where his bad attitude is though? Has he come out sulking? Has he demanded more money? He played a match for his country in a world cup year. It mightn't have been the smartest thing to do while trying to manage an injury but not a hanging offence as many of you seem to think.

You seem a bit obsessed by his use of the word "me" Growler. He was asked a direct question about his involvement. Perhaps you would have preferred a more philosophical response containing seagulls and trawlers

No, I'm not actually suggesting the rancid little toe rags absence was the main and only reason for our shambolic defeat yesterday, but I AM suggesting that his and BR's disgraceful comments last week may have had something to do with a dip in confidence and performance.

Still failing to see where they're disgraceful...

Indeed! Luv it!

I am, 'cus the constant use of it equates to downright selfishness.

the 2 times you mean?

I'll try one last time as it obviously isn't sinking in. The bad attitude is because he would ALWAYS put country before club. This is quite easily understood in the line that contains "....injured or not"

Hodgson is not to blame, he's paid purely to think about the national team. As a Liverpool fan, I would like to see it's players adopt an attitude of "Club and Country together but if push comes to shove, it's club first"

As a fan the choice is the same. Club or Country. It's not possible to support both because ultimately there comes a time when support for one has to be overshadowed by the other.

For what it's worth. I don't think Sturridge would of made that much difference yesterday. It was the omission of Studds, Couhtino and Agger that did the damage.
