Liverpool star Daniel Sturridge admits he is struggling after Arsenal loss

Liverpool striker Daniel Sturridge was moved to tears after Sunday’s 2-1 loss to Arsenal that ended Liverpool’s FA Cup dream, reports the Metro.

The 24-year-old was visibly moved at full time and hand to be consoled by Kieran Gibbs as The Merseysiders slumped to defeat, despite controlling the game for large periods.

The forward, who has been so clinical in recent weeks, missed several gilt edge goal scoring opportunities that ultimately came back to haunt Brendan Rodgers’ side as they failed to make their dominance count.

Sturridge posted a message on his official Twitter account, making his disappointment at failing to help his side reach the quarter finals clear.

In the modern game players are often accused of lacking passion, but Sturridge clearly possesses the trait in abundance to be so emotionally moved at the end of the encounter.

Steven Gerrard’s spot kick clawed Liverpool back into the game as they attempted to overturn a two goal deficit but time eventually ran out, despite Sturridge’s attempts to squeeze every second out of the game by tying Lukasz Fabianski’s shoe laces, leaving the forward distraught.

Daniel Sturridge has had 31 shots on target this season, only striker partner Luis Suarez (55) and Sergio Aguero (35) have managed more.

Heartbroken. I hate losing. Trying to keep my spirits high even though I’m struggling. I’m keeping the faith… #redordead #dstudge
