Man up is an awful phrase, if he does indeed have an underlying physiological issue then he needs to get professional help in some form.
Its a real disappointment but not a surprise, the mind can be a powerful thing and he may not even realise that hes being OTT about any pain he has
Adam....man up about using man up
Sorry probably going to far into it even applying it to sturridge, but someone i know took their life a while back and a phrase like man up doesnt help when dealing with depression, im unsure how i have linked this to sturridge, im going to shut up now

Do you mean psychological?

Man up is a stupid phrase to be honest. It implies that a negative stereotype to the male population, especially in the current climate of men more likely to lose their job, become homeless and kill themselves

If you don't think that male suicide is an issue you're an absolute f7ckwit. Telling someone to man up is ridiculous, there's nothing wrong with feeling vulnerable.
The fact of the matter is that sturridge is clearly suffering from some form of mental issue surrounding his ability on the pitch, and therefore his livelihood. It's as much of an injury as a pulled hamstring. You wouldn't tell someone with a broken leg to man up and get on with it.
Unfortunately this country is laughably under equipped, both societally and medically, to handle mental issues, particularly when the sufferer is male.
I had a mate who used to say man up to all my mates all the time. One night we got in a brawl outside a bar in Manchester and he was the first one to leg it
Actually, I would say man up to someone with a broken leg; its my humour you see

Hilarious.
I just don’t see it as justified to use his extensive injury problems as an excuse to launch a personal attack on his character. I don’t know him but he seem like a great lad. What his is, when fit, is our best player and therefore I want him to get through this difficult period. Its frustrating as hell and he might not get there, but as an LFC player he has my support.
As has been mentioned this may well be in part a psychological hangover from all his injuries. Which can be just as serious and debilitating as any physical injury.

Can you explain to me how you have any insight into Sturridges mental state? You portray him as an acrophobic who can bear to be seen in public. Have you ever seen him being interviewed? He's a cocksure as they come for fecks sake!
If you read between the lines of Klopps comments then he is suggesting he has no idea what is wrong with Sturrige. Don't forget he's knows far more about the player than any of us.
If you then add that to his previous history of injuries at Chelsea coupled with the fact there has never been a serious injury then it's difficult to make any other case than him being a complete malingerer.

Acrophobia is a fear of heights isn't it? Note to self: I really should stop doing this

Thank you for proving instantly that, once again, ARE is talking nonsense.
And for the record, how one portrays themself can be very far from how they really feel. Unfortunately I've found this out the hard way.
Looks like I was spot in from day one.

if you hadn't mentioned sturridge's name in that I wouldn't have linked it with him in anyway! He's a millionaire who's issue relvolves around not wanting to do a muscle injury. He can speak to a professional, that's fair enough, but you can't compare it with suicide

So, there are these things called paragraphs. They normally indicate a change of subject matter. The first paragraph was addressing the seeming dismissal of the idea of male suicide being a problem.
The second referenced the fact that Sturridge is likely suffering a psychological issue about his ability to stay fit.
The third is summing up how the views expressed in this thread link the two, i.e. the fact that so many see mental issues as a trivial issue that people should just man up and get over, is both a societal and medical problem that needs addressing in this country.
I never said at any stage suggested that Sturridge's issues are anywhere near suicide. I merely observed that the two are linked, purely because of the indifferent and dismissive attitude toward mental issues as a whole.
