Daniel Sturridge needs to be more like Roberto Firmino, according to Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher.
The England striker may have a brilliant goal record but Reds manager Jurgen Klopp still prefers Firmino; the emphasis is now on Sturridge to improve other areas of his game.
Brazilian Firmino has started six Premier League games this season and scored three goals while Sturridge has been a peripheral figure and failed to get off the mark. He is one of the Premier League’s most valuable fringe players.
“At this moment Jurgen Klopp fancies Roberto Firmino in that central striker position. he is only playing one striker at the moment, which is a problem for Daniel,” Carragher has told ESPN.
“Last season he was playing with two, so that’s something he has to think about. How can he improve? What is Firmino doing that he is not doing?
“Every manager sees it differently, but Klopp has gone for that one.
“Daniel Sturridge’s strike rate for Liverpool is outstanding. Up there with the greatest strikers Liverpool have had. We know he can do that, but perhaps Jurgen Klopp wants different things from him that Firmino can add.
“So maybe Daniel has to look at that and think where he can improve to get back into the team.”
