Featured: Laudrup surprised at Sturridge 'quick recovery'

[tlw content]

Michael Laudrup has questioned Daniel Sturridge's commitment to the England side by expressing his surprise that the striker is expected to be fit to line up against Laudrup's Swansea side on Monday night, despite being ruled out of England's two recent World Cup qualifying matches.

“I was a little surprised" said the Dane. "We talk about a young player, a huge talent, and I am sure he would have played in a crucial game [for England] the other day. But he was injured and yet 48 hours later he is fit to play against us… I thought there were some rules that if you were injured you couldn’t just play with your team three of four days later.”

Laudrup was a great player, but clearly he's not such a great mathematician and England played on Tuesday night, meaning Sturridge had six days to get fit for the Swansea game.

He sounds scared to me.

 It's none of Laudrup's darn business whether Sturridge played or not for England. I think he's squeaking in his boots. Sturridge will shut his big mouth for him.

Laudrup needs to shut up with his fantastic hair.

[Kevin D]

He's trying to steal Rodgers' job.

Hey, by the way, where are the number of total posts for each poster used to be seen vis a vis the name?

Look about 4 inches to the right of your name.

I assume a big deal will be made out of Rooney scoring the vital 2nd goal for the Mancs today after starting for them today, a full 2 and a half days before our game takes place, then?

 

Or is it just Sturridge who should risk further injury playing for England?

[Sut]

He's a bit of a shit stirrer.

[Adebisi]

Is he attempting to play mind-games with a player, the shithouse? Seems to have an opinion on everything this guy.

Football Top Trumps - Rodgers' teeth beats Laudrup's hair.

Probably stoned out of his box, the Dutch cunt.

Danish. But starts with a 'd', so, close enough.

I've always liked Michael Laudrup but those snidey comments have put me right off him. Not only was he factually inaccurate with the timings (as Dave pointed out), but it's also none of his business.

 

Anyway, even if it was 48 hours later - it might have taken those 48 hours for the player to be fit enough to play. It's not like there were two games on the same day (so at the same level of fitness) and the player chose Liverpool over England.

Cheeky bastard

Bit of a snide insinuation to make Michael.

 

Racist.

Can't you just picture Henry Winter's gurning visage atop an article indignant about Sturridge's recovery? He'll spin it into a yarn involving a wider conspiracy about the "disrespect" shown to Hodgson a fortnight ago, all while failing to mention or peddling excuses for Rooney.

[FrenchEyeGlass]

Gotta laugh. Shelvey missed both u21 England matches and will probably start on Monday.

 

Fool.

[Batigol]

He can fuck off and Swansea should just be thankful they're not playing Barry Town like they should be.

[Jairzinho]

Probably stoned out of his box, the Dutch cunt.

 

Negged by a clog wearer for this post. Fairplay to the Dutch, they stick together.

[Red Banjo]

Whoops. Wrong thread. Laudrup is still a bell

[Strontium]

Fairplay to the Dutch, they stick together.

 

So would you if you jizzed your kecks that often.

Sorry, Michael, you were saying?
