I am not sure I understand what is the point of Klopp's comment that Sturridge has to know when a pain is serious. Sounds a bit humiliating to me. If he thought this is the case and Sturridge has some psychological issues or low pain threshold he should have told it to him personally. what is the point in doing it in public? Must be hard time to Sturridge anyway, not sure how would that help. If BR would say something like that he would get a lot of stick here.

You're nit picking. Klopp was saying that his training is more intense than under the previous manager and that players need to learn how they should feel after those sessions. Our other players have had several weeks now to adjust whereas Sturridge has not, and it's particularly important that Sturridge does so given his history.

Serious pain as in - don't train/play on because this will cause serious problems

and

not serious pain - as in you've had a hard training session and your body is aching but there are no long term consequences.

Simple.

I still think he should have said it to him personally.

How do you know Klopp didn't tell him?

Yeah I agree he should have kept it in house but the press were firing questions at him about sturridge, fishing for a headline.

Wow abit of the famous "foot in mouth" syndrome. To quote the eds.

Yeah I think it was meant as in, he maybe thought he was in pain because of the harder sessions but it was intact an injury and he didn't stop until it worsened.

Klopp is a stand up guy with dignity and respect for his fellow man and loves his players. Don't know if his comments were made as a direct pop at Studge or maybe he was explaining the situation as he saw it. I would trust him and choose the latter scenario.

I think he was just being honest, I read it as him saying Sturridge is perhaps paranoid about being injured again (fair enough with his history) and so stops at every bit of soreness. Perhaps he does really need to relearn what is 'normal' discomfort and what needs time out worsening a real problem.

What he said makes sense in the context in which it was said. It wasn't a sly dig at him. Personally I can't see it getting better ft Sturridge. He's playing progressively less year after year. His missed half the potential games. But the end of the season it will be closer to two thirds of potential games. Feel sorry for the lad but very few recover in the long term from these problems.

So fanobip is sharpening his knife already. How pathetic to pounce on something as minor as this comment, which is true by the way.

Maybe he did say it to him, then he got a little bruise on his little foot, another month out. Sturridge should grow a pair, Klopp should let us know what's happening and how he feels about it, if he wants to. We pay good money for Studge each week, for him to play for England and do nothing for us for 6 months+

Go find something else to moan about.

Sturridge needs to grow a pair i'm my opinion. i'm sick of hearin about this blokes injuries if I am honest. Great player when fit but that's his problem he never is i'm sure he prefers sitting in the stand thinking he looks good.

Take it easy Max Renn, I am not sharpening any knife. I like Klopp and what he is doing in the club as much as anyone else, just didn't like that one comment.

Seriously have u actually heard or read the entire statement, swish is spot on, and it's been taken completely out of context, now it's the headline, out of all he said the papers are doing what papers do and picking the line that will grab the most attention. Other posters have to an extent explained what Klopp was saying, not only is he coming back from major injuries he will also fear that any pain or discomfort is going to be another lengthy layoff and it will take time for him to adjust to the new training methods and intensity but also to have the confidence in his body so that he knows a little niggle or pain etc is not going to be serious, he is re learning what his body is feeling and how to interpret that in his head then understand its normal. that can take a long time to happen as has been stated many times by Eds and posters alike, physically he may be very close to being 100% fit but after the injury run he has had it will be while before he is mentally fit and confident.

Klopp told it like it is and Studge as well as those moaning on here need to get over themselves because he won't pander to Studge like BR did and he will cut bait with him when and if that time comes. Klopp owes him nothing so Studge had better grow a backbone and overcome whatever mental block he has.

One must really question Sturridge's commitment?

Glad I'm not the only one who saw the media quotes and couldn't see/hear them in what he actually said. It has been taken very much out of context by lazy journos looking for something to say to stir things up.
