Hey ed001 i read somewhere tha daniel sturridge is a doubt for the game against palace, are you aware of anything like that?
Believable3
Unbelievable0
{Ed001's Note - apparently so. Shame. Hopefully it is not bad enough to keep him out, as he needs games.}
22 Apr 2017 19:16:19
Can i ask you ed what according to you is the main problem which is always keeping him away from being injury free?
Agree3
Disagree0
{Ed001's Note - he has physical issues due to his physique which make it very difficult for him to be injury free. Explosive players are always more prone to little niggles. That explosiveness causes a lot of muscle strains, which can lead to worse injuries as the body tries to compensate.}
22 Apr 2017 21:28:53
Tell you what Ed1 you sound as tho you've got a a lot of patience for Sturridge.
Agree4
Disagree0
{Ed001's Note - I do because I know what he does behind the scenes for the club and his attitude has been excellent. People have this false impression he is sulky, whereas he is anything but and has made an effort to help others while out injured, when he could easily have sulked. Where most players just get drunk and mawdlin while injured, which is how so many end up with drink, drugs and gambling related problems, Sturridge does not drink or get into mischief. He is a proper professional who does what he can to ensure he can get fit. It is just bad luck that his body is simply unable to cope with the demands made of it. If he had been born a few years later, the advances in training may have come in time to avoid a lot of the problems he has suffered. Sadly Roy Hodgson and his arrogance has to take the blame for most of the current injuries.}
22 Apr 2017 23:28:27
His injury problems are so depressing, what a player he was. He had everything footwork, movement and blistering pace. He was the complete forward. Hope he gets a decent move this Summer preferably abroad and he gets back to his form of 13/ 14. Hate the supposed fans who think he fakes the injuries, the guy loves playing for LFC.

{Ed001's Note - Square Tomato will tell you how much Studger has helped out Joe Gomez, for instance. If we had more players with his attitude, then we would be a lot better off.}

{Ed001's Note - you are very welcome mate.}

Thank you Ed this is both reassuring in terms of his attitude and disappointing to know he clearly has had such bad luck. I get a little frustrated seeing him on the pitch cruising in what looks like second gear but reality is that's all he can do with out getting injured risking injury etc. On the flip side he is still that good in terms of football brain, movement and finishing that there is a place for him in our side even when not 100%.
Agree1
Disagree0
{Ed001's Note - there are so many things that affect performances, especially when a player is returning from injury, it is often difficult to judge a player. The brain is still there, the fast feet and the vision, so he just needs to recover the fitness, both physical and mental, to allow him to get back to his best.}
23 Apr 2017 08:27:23
He's honestly the nicest bloke, everyone loves him especially the youngsters he's helped massively, and now Brewster is the latest he's taken under his wing.
Agree13

23 Apr 2017 09:19:49
Would you keep him ed? if he's as good as you say around the place and we were recieving offers not worthy of the player would it not make more sense to keep the player and not have to worry about getting a forward in.
Agree4

{Ed001's Note - yes.}
23 Apr 2017 12:08:41
Studge hasn't been explosive for three years! He's just either made of glass or plain lazy. Shame because he could've been one of the worlds best strikers.

Sturridge is the most complete forward we had in a long time. He could score all type of goals. Technically he is first class. He has terrific pace. short back lift, which is a blessing for a striker and excellent finishing abilities.
His goal against Sevilla outside his left foot from absolutely nothing is just one his genius skills.
Agree5

23 Apr 2017 13:32:44
I've said it before about sturridge he has a different technique of striking a ball, his swing is so straight, with all the power coming from the explosive movement of the quad. As a kid I had a similar problem taking goal kicks as our keeper was a too fat lol. It puts a lot of strain on the knees and muscles in and around it. I was never right until I stopped playing for a few years, and even now when I play it hurts afterwards.

How did Sturridge stay fit under Brendan Rodgers? was it down to the Training methods?
thanks.

{Ed001's Note - it was mainly down to the main damage not having been done by England at that point.}

Love comments like Pips. Here is a detailed understanding of what is wrong with sturridge and why it keeps happening, as well as why it keeps happening and what Sturridge does about it. But nah, here's a fan whose ready his face for 5 minutes he has been on screen in the past 6 months with his view cause that has equal weight.

Please don't p*ss about with the left back position. Just go buy Sessengon from Fulham and develop him to cover that position from day 1 and for the next ten years.

22 Apr 2017 10:58:16
I think Robertson would be a good addition to the team . He's made his way to the Premier League the hard way pretty sure he wad released by Celtic as a youth then ended up part-time at Queens Park even working for the Hampden Park box office before being signed by Dundee United where his performances led to being signed by Hull. Great attitude, still young enough to become better, tactically astute and has good delivery from the left side . It annoys me a lot of people on social media sneering at the possibility of this move probably because he doesn't have an exotic surname, but for me I'd be chuffed if Robertson signed for us . A hungry Premiership ready young International natural left back who would understand what playing for Liverpool is all about.
Agree11

22 Apr 2017 11:45:12
Ed01, I'm sure I've seen you say that you thought Sessegnon could go straight into our first team - do you think that's such a good idea given that everyone else thinks our defence is still inadequate? I mean if we had a superb back line then he may be able to slot straight in with the others covering his lack of experience however I'm not sure we have that at the moment so he may flounder with being so young.
Agree1
Disagree1
{Ed001's Note - he is good enough to improve our back line, his lack of experience is not really an issue, the rest there have plenty.}
22 Apr 2017 12:21:42
Robertson reminds me of Steve Finnan, which is no bad thing as he was a quality footballer.
Agree10
Disagree1
22 Apr 2017 12:28:11
But what about Sessegnon not being able to train full time? And is'nt he still going to school? That would probably mean him not training full time and maybe even missing some crunch games for us. Relying on a 17 year old no matter how good to be first choice is a very dangerous gamble.
Agree1
Disagree1
{Ed001's Note - he can train plenty, he is 17 in the summer, he will be able to do his schooling around away games. He will be in college, technically, not school, from next year.}
22 Apr 2017 13:37:06
Hi Ed just been reading that we've been linked with Benzema and Lacazette for me it has to be Lacazette 2 reasons one he is younger and the other and for me more important Benzema's baggage i refer to his blackmailing of a fellow French footballer what do you think thanx scouser phil.
Agree1
Disagree0
{Ed001's Note - I would avoid Benzema like the plague, the blackmail incident is the tip of a very nasty iceberg of involvement with gangs in his hometown. He is always in trouble off the pitch.}
22 Apr 2017 13:54:53
Is there really interest in Lacazette? What happens to Origi then? Not sure he would be too happy being 3rd choice CF.

{Ed001's Note - no idea mate. I haven't really given it much thought. Just so long as we improve the team I will be happy, particularly the fullbacks.}
22 Apr 2017 18:11:45
Would you like another rb or just see Trent given more of a chance.
Agree2
Disagree0
{Ed001's Note - it really depends on how the lad develops. Right now he should be given more of a chance, but I feel he will end up in midfield long term, so we need a rb for me.}
22 Apr 2017 20:09:11
Funny you say that ed I think he will play on the right side of midfield tomorrow.
Agree2

{Ed001's Note - certainly a possibility.}
22 Apr 2017 23:36:00
I'd be content to see a back line next season of.
Karius
Sessangon. Lovren Matip Alexander Arnold
Although I see improvement in Mignolet so may see him retain his place longer, depending on rest of this season.
Still it's only a if that Sessangon will be signed, not even sure Fulham would sell or we would pay asking price.
Agree7
Disagree1
23 Apr 2017 11:18:21
I forgot to add the other youngster I'd really like us to sign early on in window with Sessenogn would be Brandt. I think these two would really flourish under Klopp and both in my opinion could play from the off in the first team. Maybe more so Sessenogn than Brandt. I think both players are attainable for us and if we got champions league that would help us also.
Agree2

23 Apr 2017 12:37:59
Any player who can improve the back line should be considered regardless of age.
We play much better when we have a high defensive line to really squeeze the opposition into making a mistake. therefore our defenders need pace as there is a lot of space left behind the high line.
I think this is why Klaven and Lucas struggled and so did the results as the team unit had to play a lot deeper. It also reduced the attacking threat of the team.
Agree1

23 Apr 2017 13:36:09
I'd be happy with sessegnon, has about as much experience as Milner left back and he's been out best full back! If also agree with Alexander Arnold, but like to see a top organiser at CB, help the young ones out! Matip starts with him, lovren and Gomez as back up.
Ideally I'd add a winger for competition, wouldn't see the need for a striker, even if sturridge does go, firmino and origi can play there, and if the new winger is adaptable, hoepfully can cover too if desperate!

Lovren was woeful at the weekend
He was pulled out of position.
He put so much slice on one clearance that defied the laws of physics.
His distribution is poor and concentration non existent.
Yup you guessed it! we are negotiating a new long term contract for him.
You couldn't make it up.
We're as well to bring back djimi Traeore.
