“Daniel Sturridge has made his feelings clear and he says he is delighted to be working with Klopp:
"I'm happy, I'm happy. I have never expressed not being happy here. I think it is everyone playing Devil's Advocate.
"They see that I have been left out sometimes and they think 'maybe that means he is unhappy' but, at the end of the day, the manager has got a job to do.
"He has got to pick the team that he feels is best on the day. And I have got a job to do, which is to perform when I am playing. Has there been friction between us?
"Not at all! Never! There is never any on my part and there is never any on the manager’s part, either, I don’t think.
"It is his job to pick the team. If he chooses to pick someone else, I have to take it on the chin. You know what? I can say it: I can be upset if I'm not playing.
"But that is natural for any player to be upset. You just have to take it on the chin and be ready for your chance."
To be honest Daniel, last night was the first time I have witnessed you expressing so much delight ....@pb”
Google suggests this is in the Star.
Hopefully that'll stop people speculating for a while or thinking he's got an attitude problem. There'll be people that won't accept it though, of course. There normally is.
