I love sturidge a lot and i believe is the 3rd most prolific striker in the league behind Aguero and zlatan. However i believe it's best if Lfc and sturidge parted company.   This would benefit both parties as sturidge will get his desired game time elsewhere and Klopp won't have the pressure of playing sturidge ahead of origi and ings. Its very clear klopp favors origi and he believes he is destined for big things but at the moment firmino is leading the line which throws origi further the pecking, for ings is almost getting out of the picture because you can't see him establishing himself with sturidge and origi already flexing out who gets on first from the bench. Sturidge is a good player but with the way klopp likes his teams to play sturidge is more of a luxury now. Sell him now at the best price possible before he depreciates in value.

I do not see how selling Sturridge is a solution. His future is unclear but I would rather have him on the bench than go find another player as capable as him.

Ed001 also said that he should get his chances this season. Mane will be off to the African Cup of Nations in January so that will be the perfect time for Sturridge to try regain his form. It is all about managing his fitness and at this point Firmino, Mane and Coutinho are the better option as our attacking three.

Sturridge will just have to be patient. He might be frustrated at not being first choice but he will also be aware that he needs to be fully fit when called upon. Unless he pulls a Sakho then he should be sold. Players will show their disappointment when not being picked to start but it is how they deal with the situation and Sturridge seems to be level headed. He will just have to stick it out.

@maxlfc even an on form sturidge is not the most hard working and unselfish player. Klopp wants a team game which i'm not sure sturidge is best at. Mane going for Afcon gives an opportunity to origi and ings to establish themselves. Both those boys are hard working and team players which klopp looks for in all his players. Sturidge is good but he doesn't complete a klopp team and very soon he will get frustrated, start whining and messing up the dressing room bonding.

It would be extremely difficult to replace a player of Struridge's quality for a reasonable sum of money.

He's a top player and owes the club for the time we have stuck by him through all his injuries and paid his salary while we paid for his rehab.

He should earn his place up front not be looking for a way out. I think he will be fine and have a good season scoring some important goals.

Really African Red? You think Klopp is feeling the pressure to play Sturridge ahead of Origi and Ings? Something tells me Klopp plays his best eleven regardless of outside influences and opinion. Danny Ings and Divock have their own strengths and abilities but neither has reached Sturridges level just yet.

I think Sturridge has all the skill needed but there seems to be lacking in his attitude and Work ethic.

He was at his best for us when All the opposing defenders had keep an eye on Suarez first and then everyone else.
This gave Sturridge a bit more time and space and at that level that's all it takes.

I think we need Sturridge but more for next year in the Champions league after we win the prem.

Sturridge is the first guy to come in if any of the front 4 is unavailable, because they can all shift to accomodate him up front. I think he will get plenty of game time this season.

I like Ings and Origi but DS is currently our best out and out striker. Why sell one bench player to bring in another that is less ready for first team football.
