Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher believes that Daniel Sturridge's ability may be on the decline as a result of numerous injuries over the past few seasons.
Sturridge, 26, has scored just 12 goals over the past two seasons, missing large spells through various injuries.
And Carragher believes that his injuries have taken a toll on his ability on the field, revealing his disappointment at Sturridge's performance in the 2-0 defeat against Burnley at Turf Moor last weekend.
"?"His actual game disappointed me against Burnley "? it worried me that he was always coming to feet," Carragher told Sky Sports, as quoted in the "?Metro.
"He played wide under [Brendan] Rodgers making runs forward and that was what was lacking last week and why [Sadio] Mane was missed.
"I am worried about those injures changing his game. Even in the big games last season, Klopp was choosing [Roberto] up front instead of Sturridge."
Sorry, but Sturridge is being dicked around. Play him as 9 or let him go.
Firmino is no #LFC striking 9. He's just not.
Aside from in the 2013/14 campaign, where Sturridge formed a prolific strike partnership with Luiz Suarez and went on to score 21 goals in 29 games, the England striker has failed to reach similar levels of performance since Jurgen Klopp took over last summer.
Sturridge came off the bench as an ineffectual substitute as Liverpool drew 1-1 with Tottenham on Saturday. James Milner fired Jurgen Klopp's side ahead with a first half penalty, while left-back Danny Rose levelled the scores mid-way through the second half.
The draw leaves Liverpool with four points after three games, having beaten Arsenal on the first day of the season, before losing to Burnley and eventually drawing with Spurs.
