Liverpool FC: Daniel Sturridge Finally Does Something
Despite not being a Jurgen Klopp favorite, Daniel Sturridge did his part as Liverpool bounced back from a tough loss by beating Huddersfield 3-0. Missing some key players and playing poorly in the first half, it was about the best the team could ask for at this point.

Liverpool FC: Future is Bright, Even if Championship is Almost out of Reach
There’s something not quite there about Liverpool under Jurgen Klopp. It’s almost the team he dreams of, but not exactly at that place by now. It doesn’t matter. The future seems bright for the club under the German manager, even if their desire to end the championship drought this season is probably not coming true.

Jurgen Klopp Presents: Sadio Mane, Roberto Firmino & the Liverpool Consistency Conundrum
The Jurgen Klopp version of Liverpool is designed to give fans heart attacks. In their 4-1 win over defending (and probably exiting champions) Leicester City, the thrilling performance from Sadio Mane, Roberto Firmino and Adam Lallana had the Anfield fans on the edge of their seats, in a good way. But in order for this team to match the club’s ambitions, consistency has to become a part of the repertoire.

Liverpool FC – Loic Remy Has The Same Amount of Goals as Their Strikers
Mostly a garbage time striker this season playing for Chelsea off the bench, Loic Remy has been very efficient when you condense his work to goals per minutes. When viewing totals, his two Premier League goals are still the same amount as the entire Liverpool strikeforce (Mario Balotelli, Daniel Sturridge, Rickie Lambert) has managed to produce.

Liverpool FC – Daniel Sturridge Injuries Ruining Their Season
Just when Liverpool were about to get Daniel Sturridge back from a month-long injury, bad news came, confirming that he’ll be out for at least three more weeks and maybe more. A team that almost won the Premier League last season is struggling to string two wins together, let alone look like title contenders as the season continues to slip away from them.

Liverpool FC – Brendan Rodgers & Mario Balotelli Need Daniel Sturridge Badly
Another season for Liverpool, and once again they look like a one-man club. Daniel Sturridge isn’t playing, while Brendan Rodgers and his players, from Mario Balotelli in the front to his failing defensive line, are sinking to lows the team’s fans have grown quite accustomed to.

Liverpool FC: A Championship-Caliber Team or Not?
There’s no magic formula to winning championships. It’s never just about having a defense that rarely conceded and keeps clean sheets. It’s never just about scoring enough that no matter how bad your defense is, teams will never catch up to you. Each season brings a different set of stories, intangibles and deciding factors. Sometimes it’s just luck, as some like to see that day on April 27, when Liverpool lost 2-0 to Chelsea at home and the first place they gained two weeks earlier by beating Manchester City.

Liverpool FC – Mario Balotelli Makes Daniel Sturridge & Raheem Sterling Better
With the craziness of the transfer deadline, the addition of Mario Balotelli suddenly seems like a minor one compared to what’s happening not so far from Liverpool. It doesn’t matter as the Italian proved something to Brendan Rodgers about the diamond system and playing with two strikers, making Daniel Sturridge a lot more effective and gives space to Raheem Sterling to shine and show his incredible ability.

Liverpool FC – Brendan Rodgers Keeps Making the Same Mistakes
It’s not a disaster losing when visiting the toughest stadium the Premier League has to offer, but Liverpool should have done more than look incompetent on offense. Brendan Rodgers is fair to expect more from players like Daniel Sturridge and Philippe Coutinho, but more than anything, his tactical mistakes, coming in the same form for a second consecutive match, might have cost his team a better result or at least a more respectable performance.

Liverpool FC – Daniel Sturridge Needs a Striker Next to Him
Despite the enthusiasm, Raheem Sterling doesn’t create another SAS partnership with Daniel Sturridge. Liverpool, as their second half of an opening win clearly showed, need another striker to make their best formation work. Rickie Lambert might not be the best solution, but for now he’s the best solution for a dual-striker partnership the club has.
