People think Daniel Sturridge took Jill Scott's comment about never winning the Premier League with Liverpool to heart

A League of Their Own viewers think Daniel Sturridge took Jill Scott's comments about failing to win the Premier League with Liverpool to heart.

Sturridge joined the Reds from Chelsea in 2013, forming a deadly trio alongside Phillipe Coutinho and Luis Suarez.

The following season, Liverpool came agonisingly close to winning their first league title since 1990.

Sturridge scored 22 goals in 29 appearances that season as a collapse during the run-in saw Manchester City pip the Reds to first place.

During a recent appearance on Sky One show A League of Their Own, host Romesh Ranganathan asked Sturridge what it was like to be part of a squad so close to going down in history.

The 34-year-old replied: "I still think about it. I still think about it today, to be honest, because you always think you get so close to that success. Sometimes I'm driving in my car and I hear a tune that was playing in the dressing room that year and I'm vibing. Then I think 'Damn. We didn't get it done.'

Liverpool did manage to win the title in 2020, a year after Sturridge departed for Turkish outfit Trabzonspor.

Sturridge added: "But y'know, fortunately for the club, they won the Premier League and it was a great moment for them."

Scott then interjected: "Maybe if you hadn't been vibing you'd have got it done."

It left the audience, in addition to fellow guests Micah Richards and Jamie Redknapp, in stitches.

Cameras quickly panned back to Sturridge, who appeared to be visibly caught off guard by the diss.

The former England international did win the Premier League with Chelsea in 2010, but his contributions were minimal.

He made 13 appearances and scored one goal, although only two of those were as a starter.

The clip has gone viral on social media, with Twitter users picking up on Sturridge's reaction.

One person said: "The fact that Sturridge didn’t even giggle when once shows that wasn’t funny at all."

A second put: "That’s a low blow from Jill, really no need for that. Credit to Studge for staying calm."

Someone added: "I think this was borderline disrespectful."

While a fourth posted: "A very cheap shot. Uncalled for."
