Manchester United legend Gary Neville has blasted Liverpool for their 'crazy' decision to allow Daniel Sturridge to leave for West Brom.
The England striker has joined the Baggies on a loan deal until the end of the season as he bids for a run of games and goals ahead of the World Cup in Russia this summer.
It means Danny Ings and Dominic Solanke are left as back-up strikers should first-choice frontman Roberto Firmino pick up an injury.
And Neville believes it was a short-sighted move by Jurgen Klopp and the Anfield hierarchy to let someone with Sturridge's experience depart.

“I’m looking at that list of ins and outs and it’s gone under the radar,” Neville said on Sky Sports’ The Debate show.
“And I look at Sturridge. People are saying ‘Sturridge isn’t playing anymore, it’s not a big loss’.

“Firmino gets injured for two months. Liverpool are in the Champions League and are trying to get into the top four… Danny Ings and Solanke.
“Were they wise to let him go? It just seemed a crazy one for me for a massive risk.”
