5 mistakes Jurgen Klopp has made at Liverpool this season

#4 Persisting with Daniel Sturridge

Sturridge has been struggling for far too long now

This, too, is quite baffling. It just doesn’t make any sense as to why Klopp and Liverpool were so keen to keep a striker who has hardly played for Liverpool since the 2013/14 season.

So far, in his Liverpool career, Sturridge has managed just one good season i.e. when Liverpool nearly won the league in 2013/14 season, and he scored 21 goals, but, since then, he has struggled for fitness, and has managed just 39 Premier league appearances till date, scoring a mere 12 goals.

When fit, he is perhaps one of the best strikers in the Premier League, but constant fitness problems and injuries have taken a toll on his body and he looks well past his prime now.

There was reported interest in Sturridge during the summer from various clubs, but Klopp chose to stick with his injury-prone striker. It would have been wise for Liverpool and Klopp to have parted ways with Sturridge and used the money from his sale to procure a striker who could guarantee at least 15-20 goals a season.
