The reaction to Sturridge’s performance tonight is… brutal

Posted by

Liverpool limped out of the EFL Cup this evening, following a 1-0 loss to Southampton at Anfield – making it 2-0 on aggregate – confirming the first semi-final loss of Jurgen Klopp’s career.

We haven’t scored in almost 5 hours against the Saints in all competitions and deserve to be out of the competition at their expense.

Daniel Sturridge was one of many poor performers and missed two guilt-edged chances in the second-half, both of which he skied over the bar.

In our opinion, he was just as culpable as his team-mates, but Liverpool fans decided to turn on the Englishman after the game.

Some of the reaction is downright disrespectful, but what’s clear is this: Sturridge is NOT the same player who started up top for us in 2013/14 and bagged over 20 goals. He’s slower, takes less risks and makes poorer decisions.

That can’t be argued.
