To suggest that he isn't playing because he is just too lazy is ridiculous and borders on insane. However, there is something seriously wrong here when words like 'issues' are now being used.
Yep, it is a simple word that pseudo-intellectuals started obsessively using about three years ago and never seem tired of. Makes me cringe every time I hear it.
But regarding Sturridge, I wonder how the morale of our first team players (which must already be low) is affected by seeing him watch from the stands week in, week out whilst being paid £ tens of thousands a week more than they are.
