Sturridge is the best player for me. He is the perfect striker and also been used as a winger on occasion.
The whole day is not the same. Maybe he'll have a good day in feature.
I just think that he no longer has the legs to play the way Klopp would want him to... He lacks the acceleration and speed he once had, and yes injury has played it's part, and he will still score goals for the instinct and finishing are still there, but he is now shackled by the lacks the acceleration,speed and pace to get into those danger areas where players like Vardy, Kane Morata etc can get into therefor he will never be a twenty goal a season striker again (not that he ever truly was)... And to think/suggest that The manager has made him "Bulk Up" to help with his injury problems is at best "laughable" and at worst "ignorant" ...The majority of Sturridge's injuries have been leg (muscle/joint) and hip related...

Bulking up would do nothing to help solve the problems and could in fact serve to exacerbate it.. You would need to work on strengthening the muscles and ligaments around those areas as well as adding more flexibility in the muscle,ligaments and joints.... When asked Ryan Giggs said that he has had to change the way he thinks on the pitch but that he is still "living the dream".
"The yoga has definitely helped me,".... "It helps me train every day because it gives me the flexibility and the strength not only to play the game but to train as well."
Had Sturridge been given this advice or had been pushed this way early in his career perhaps we (LFC) would not need a new striker and would be discussing the new contract Sturridge was being offered
