Does latest Liverpool snub put Daniel Sturridge on borrowed time at Anfield

Liverpool romped to a 5-0 win over Watford on Wednesday night to maintain their place at the top of the Premier League table.

The Reds’ win was never in doubt following an early Sadio Mane double and further goals from Virgil van Dijk (2) and Divock Origi put the seal on an emphatic win.

Belgian striker Origi was handed a rare start by boss Jurgen Klopp, an opportunity he grasped with both hands.

His goal offered a substantial blow to one of his team-mates.

Daniel Sturridge was the man introduced to the action at Old Trafford following an early injury to Roberto Firmino.

The 29-year-old struggled to impose himself on the game and Origi was the man handed the start last night.

This latest snub could spell curtain for Sturridge’s time at Liverpool.

The striker has started just twice this season and his last goal came back in September when he netted a stunner against former club Chelsea.

The man with 26-England caps to his name needs to leave in order to revive his career.

After struggling with a string of injury problems, he needs to go somewhere to play regular football.

Sturridge played the best football of his career under Brendan Rodgers at Anfield and the fact he has taken over at Leicester this week could start the rumour mill going.

Whether it is the King Power or somewhere else, this latest setback handed to him by Klopp puts Sturridge on borrowed time on Merseyside.
