The criticism on sturridge is abit unfair considering he hasnt had the chance to play together with a Klopp's first choice midfield like Hendo, Wij, Lallana and Couts. Remember back in 13-14, when Suarez was out, Couts and Sturridge formed a lethal partnership with plenty of goals...
Mags I've been standing and sitting on the Kop for many years and although certain aspects of the support have changed, the one thing we insist on is 'heart' and if a player isn't ready to fight then its the biggest kick in the grid he can deliver to those very supporters who have challenged those in the media who have doubted his conviction.
His performance against Plymouth delivered that very kick, the kind of display we as fans all dread seeing, I mean it couldn't even be loosely described as half hearted as he clearly didn't want to be there !
As for dropping Firmino I'm frankly shocked that you would even contemplate swapping a player whose energy and appetite to regain possession and defend almost rigidly from the front adds so much to making the system Klopp plays so effective.
