      Didn't take his chance, time for Solanke to start ahead of him.

      So frustrating.
      On the one hand, he hasn't had nearly the crack of the whip Firmino's had, so am tempted to say what do you expect, he's not been given the chance to reach proper sharpness. He can't feel he has the confidence of the manager, and must feel like every time he goes out, he's trying to prove himself.
      On the other hand, he's had chances that I'd expect him to take at least one of, and when not taking chances, he's not contributing as much as the others, his build up play is OK, but he's too easily pushed off the ball, his pace is waning, and he doesn't close down.
      If his MO is that he's the best finisher, needs to take some of those chances.

      Will cough up one excuse for him today, was very little space out there, and ....
      Nah ...

      Completely slows down the play and when he can't even keep hold of the ball what's the point.

      So sad to see a lethal player now playing with lead in his boots.

      He's finished at the top level unfortunately. Might get some use out of him from the bench this season but in the summer he's got to go and a proper number 9 has to come in.

      Injuries derailed him. Shouldn't really be surprised...when we bought him it wasn't like he hadn't struggled to stay healthy.

      He'll never hit his top form again. But for some reason we didn't bring in a replacement or shop him around.

      Interesting to see the stats (yes can't believe i have used that word) but danny has scored 15 pl goals as a sub only 2 behind the likes of solskaer in the all time list of substitute goal scorers in the pl.

      Sturridge's fans really need to take a long hard look at this game to accept that the lad is nothing more than an impact sub now.
      Couldn't even beat the offside trap.

      You mean Liverpool fans? I mean, that would include you no?

      Can't see him having much of a career left, certainly not at the highest level. Could see him going off to Italy or the MLS to be honest.

      He looked like a regular guy off the street today, except I think a regular guy would have played with more effort. He looks slow, his touch is off, passing non-existent, shooting terrible and generally abysmal. 

      This was his chance to prove his doubters and Klopp wrong over his role in the team and he let himself and us down massively.

      Need to cash in on Stu while he has some value left.

      He is not the striker we need anymore unfortunately.

      Sadly & unfortunately this is very true mate,his best days are behind him & as many have said countless times,injuries over the years have caught up with Danny.

      Been saying it for two years now. Should of cashed in before summer transfer ended. Funny how many fans can see it but managers/owners can't. You'll lose out when you sell him now. How much will he fetch??

      Who would buy him? An injury prone striker who will want at least what... 70k a week minimum. Doesn't add up.

      Oh I still think you can offload him for a decent fee to a West Brom, West Ham type of team, he might even do ok there.

      Sturridge doesn't get a run of games, of course he's going to go backwards. For his own sake he needs to move.

      Not getting a run of games makes him play like a pensioner? How does that work.

      Sad things is Daniel just does not have the legs anymore to be a top class player for Liverpool FC...Of course if he plays he is going to score here and there,he still has the instincts, and desire, but he no longer has the legs.Yes injuries have taken their toll... Watching him play now reminds me of watching Stevie G in the last two seasons of his career...

      Unfortunately we (LFC) held on to Sturridge two seasons too long, Klopp,Liverpool the supporters and Sturridge need to understand this and move on...

      You don't half talk some sh*te.

      Sturridge has bulked up a fair bit, and his body is still adapting, simple as that.
      A blind man can see how much bigger he is.

      A far cry from a Gerrard approaching his mid 30's who had adductor problems and subsequent infections (also in his foot) that meant he actually had muscle and bone removed and was unable to properly extend when running.

      The same way a new player need a run of games to settle into the club. All the practice in the world is no substitute for minutes on the pitch.
      If Jürgen built his team around Daniel ( and I'm not suggesting he should), Todd probably see a more potent Sturridge in front of goal, but Sturridge is being asked to play out of his comfort zone.
      Let him stand in the 6 yard box and he'd score goals regularly, but we'd probably lose those games due to him not chasing down defenders.
      He will do well elsewhere, I'd suggest he go to Celtic and live like a king.
