Sturridge struggled to make an impact from the wing in the 2-0 defeat against Burnley last weekend
Liverpool's Daniel Sturridge has urged manager Juergen Klopp to deploy him in his favoured centre forward position, where he operates on "autopilot".
The
26-year-old scored twice after coming on as a substitute in their 5-0
win against Burton Albion in the League Cup, but faces stiff opposition
from the likes of Divock Origi and Roberto Firmino to play in the centre
attacking role.
Sturridge struggled to make an
impact from the wing in the 2-0 defeat against Burnley last weekend, and
the England international felt that he would be most effective when
playing in front of goal.
"Everyone knows where I enjoy playing the most," Sturridge told British media.
"I'm
a player who plays on instinct, and in the middle I have clarity on
movements and things that I have been doing for years. I am on autopilot
there.
"Of course it is more difficult
for me to play wide. Well, I have to do a job for the team. That's not
saying I am happy to do it. That's saying I have got to do a job for the
team."
Liverpool face Tottenham Hotspur at White Hart Lane in their next league game on Saturday.
