“Daniel Sturridge is probably the most gifted striker we have got,” Rush told the Daily Mail.<\/p>\n
“I was made up that he didn’t go in January and I hope he is still here next year but you have got to fight for your place. I think he will fight for his place,” he added.<\/p>\n
Sturridge has so far netted just two English Premier League (EPL) goals this season after falling down the pecking order under manager Jurgen Klopp.<\/p>\n
“One thing for certain this year is that we will need Daniel Sturridge and once he gets that chance he has to take it,” Rush said.<\/p>\n
“And when he does take it and starts scoring again I think he’ll play a major part in Liverpool making the top four,” he added.<\/p>\n
Liverpool have had an indifferent start to 2017 dropping to fifth position with their latest setback being a 0-2 defeat at the hands of relegation prospects Hull City.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
