Sturridge is worthless when he has even a slight injury. Luis will play and fight through it to give us something but he has not been himself of late. He was on fire and was moving very well. Now no more nutmegs, no more twist and turns and great plays. He has become slower and really just a shooter. I know the defense has been sending 2 guys at him everytime he touches the ball but he used to beat that easy.

No chance he would risk his long term health and world cup to play with a bad injury.

I Don't think he has any serious injury,he's probably just jaded.

I guess I described it wrong. I didn't mean a career threating one but one that has seriously slowed him down. One a lot of guys besides him wouldn't play with. He isn't the same player of late. He hasn't taken the ball in the box and worked his magic.

I think he's just knackered.

perhaps but he has certainly changed his style of late

I think you're right.
If we fail to get the right result on Monday, he needs to be fully rested in readiness for the Suarez Werld Cup! laugh

There's something definitely not right w/ Suarez. Without Sterling the least few games...

He's looked leggy for a month or so and although he's been getting his fair share of goals he can't get away from a player at the moment. He's never been lightening but he's usually pretty pacey.

I know this seems silly but do you think he has something in his contract about being subbed in games? I appreciate that we've only had one game a week and players don't necessarily need resting but Suarez never, ever gets subbed, even when we're 4-0 up, he has his hat trick and the game is done and dusted. It just seems odd!

On that note i have one minor critism of Rodgers in that when we have been winning these games we could and should have been giving some playing time for Aspas, Alberto etc. Even if he doesn't rate these players there is no telling when we may be forced to call on their services and with some game time under their belt they may have been of more use. The Chelsea game for example, bringing on Aspas when he has probably played only 5-10 mins of competetive football in about 3 months, its never going to work! Even if they are cack its good to keep your back up players involved and in a position to step in if needed.

Me too, but I agree with Ben, I've always thought it strange that he's never subbed. Maybe its the fact that he's playing one game a week pretty much and feels he should be on the full 90.
