Maybe to use parts of his body into somekind of Robofootballer.
What injuries do you think he could play through ?
I think its clear he has played (badly) through injuries at times. But people just call him lazy when he does that.
I don't doubt that there is some truth in that old adage about "some players only want to play when they are 100%, and that's unreasonable" or "some players are able to play with pain better than others" - and certainly that's been aimed at Sturridge before, not least by his current manager - but I think it's a bit simplistic to simply say that Sturridge is some kind of pain-averse lightweight who needs to just "toughen up a bit", or whatever.
I can't remember all of them as there's been so many, but possibly quite a few where it's been a knock or a mild strain. And wasn't he 'ill' for a couple of weeks in Feb? Not sure what that was but I bet he could have played through it. Also, there's an element as Brendan mentioned above, only wanting to play at 100% - so we're in the shit, don't have any strikers, but he's not keen to play as he's only at 80%? 80% of sturridge is better than 100% of origi.
Klopp has full visibility of sturridge in training, and would no doubt get full medical reports on him whenever he's got his weekly injury, and he's alluded to several times that he's been as good as fit as far as training and the medical team are concerned but wont play.
I thought the game against Sevilla more or less summed up his decline. He'd become a luxury, scored a belter but didn't really aid a system that had become reliant on a workhorse who would press from the front. His injuries have just meant he's going to work even less to maintain his fitness and avoid injury, which is no good for us.
It's a massive shame because he's one of the most talented strikers we've seen. We've had too many talents who have been finished off early by injury.

There's more a real sense of anxiety about him these days, which I guess is pretty hard to overcome. We saw it in Owen after that terrible hamstring tear, while running at full speed, against Leeds. Everything after that that was once instinctive was now premeditated. I think Studge looks as bemused about his body as the fitness people are. He's become his own puzzle.
BITCH!!!! There goes my chance of proving you buggers wrong about my valuation
The fact that he's never been able to complete a preseason also means that he's playing catch up fitnes wise all through the season. His goalrecord for us is out of this World, so it just feels like what could have been. Shame.
He will sign for Newcastle..

Are you trapped in time or something? No one says that these days. And even the media seems to have forgotten him. That's the point, not the opposite.
Corrected
Yeah Leo, you must surely have new material?
There is a line in the article which mirrors something a nutritionist I spoke to mentioned re Man City. Her friend worked there and was in a few days a week providing players with options who pretty much ignored the advice. I don't know if it's changed this season but I agree re nutrition and where we are currently at.
Nice to see that sorry excuse for an Irish man has been banned.
Grade A asshole

He was training today. Sturridge I mean, in case everyone has forgotten the thread title.
