You'd have been better off writing chapters if you wanted to change your topic

The second referenced the fact that Sturridge is likely suffering a psychological issue about his ability to stay fit.

-----------------

Your second paragraph didn't say that it's "likely" that Sturridge is suffering a psychological issue. Your second paragraph stated this as a fact.

So I ask, is it a fact, or is it just "likely"?

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.

Let's break this down to make it simple for you.

Klopp is on record as saying that Sturridge needs to develope a bit of pain tolerance. Pretty much fits simply into what any top athlete would have to go through in order to be the best they can.

You are making the subject over complicated.

Klopps comments give it to you as he sees it.

That's good enough for me.

In my opinion, he is. Do either of us know for certain? No. Ill concede that it's not fact. I'm just giving my opinion.

I'm just saying there's so many on here dismissing it as him being soft, whereas I see it as something more than that.
The talk of suicide and mental health, I'll concede was little tangential, but it's something that I'm passionate about after being affected closely by it.

And ARE, you may have interpreted it that way, but to me, he's saying that sturridge needs to learn mentally that every bit of a pain isn't he end of the world, rather than him needing to "man up" and stop "crying off." Noone is more frustrated in all of this than sturridge.

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.

And blaming every little one of our faults on a psychological problem is a quick and guilt-free excuse to get us out of taking responsibility for any of our actions.

Looking for a quick and guilt-free excuse to get out of taking responsibility for any of our actions sounds like a psychological problem to me.

We are seeing why Sturridge only cost £12m and why Chelsea managers continued to largely ignore him despite obvious ability to put the ball in the net.

I think while Suarez was here it toughened him up a bit because he saw himself as competing with him to prove who was the best because they didn't really get on.

Then when he had the pressure of being the main man all his insecurities have come out.

Such a shame as his goal record is phenomenal. Football is played in the mind as much as on the pitch and unfortunately Sturridge just doesn't seem to have a winning mentality.

He's our highest paid player and if he can't cope with the high tempo football then Klopp will sell him.

Thanks R1. I said that this time last year and you laughed at me

It's the way you say it Kash.

You have no nuance or empathy when you criticise players.
