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.
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.
