Seems to be a lot of unemployed UEFA pro coaches on this forum
You don't have to be an "unemployed UEFA pro coach" to realize that no matter how good a player is if he is only playing 20 games a season in all competitions and needs Five of them to become match sharp and match fit he is some what of a liability when pushing for the title...You need players fit and able to play, and as good as Sturridge is he is as fragile, when was the last time you saw Sturridge sprint for a ball...?
Great player to have as a impact sub, but we need fully fit and firing strikers
