Klopp: Sturridge’s barren period can be ‘a good moment’

England international is#yet to a score in the Premier League this season and cut a frustrated figure in a Liverpool's#goalless draw with to Manchester United at Anfield on#Monday Night Football.

Sturridge#touched the ball just a once in the opposition box#and did not have to shot at goal before being replaced on the hour#mark.

Reports#in the national press have a suggested Sturridge could be#dropped for Liverpool's home match against#West Bromwich Albion on Saturday, So with Adam Lallana and#Georginio Wijnaldum pushing for recalls.

But#Klopp has given him a backing to the 27-year-old, highlighting how#prolific goalscorers like a Robert Lewandowski and#Gerd Muller also went through dry periods in front#of goal.

This#moment his a good moment for Dan. It is not easy. Most of his time in his a life, football has been so easy because he is a so skilled, the Liverpool manager said.

So#the right moment, easy goal, simple#goal. Every player struggles with this or#this. Little problem here, a little problem there.

We#had a game against to Manchester#United and, yes, it was not easy for#him. We didn't play well, he didn't play with 100#percent confidence.

And#I think it is a very useful moment in his#a career. A big name: [Robert]#Lewandowski. There were times when#he didn't score.

So#Gerd Muller. There were games#he didn't a score. I still can't believe it. You look back on his career and he scored 600 times but there#were moments when he didn't score.

Instagram unveils new logo, but it's not quite picture perfect | TheNews Linzer

Photo sharing app unveils new sunset-coloured logo and a sleeker in-app look, but opinion is mixed Instagram, the photo sharing app owned by Facebook, responsible for such cultural highlights as hot-dog legs, The Fat Jewish memes and Rich Kids of, well, Instagram, has debuted a new logo. The previous one, a retro-looking camera, and one of the most recognisable tech logos out there, has been replaced by a background swirl of sunset colours (orange, yellow, pink, purple) and a white outline of a camera. As if the camera was murdered, and chalk was drawn around its body. Murdered at sundown. Here it is: The new logo was announced via a blog post, a longer post on Medium from head of design, Ian Spalter, and also a short introductory film. The kind that is usually intensely annoying, but actually this one is quite cute (warning though: the end has a lot of flashing and intense colours). Continue reading...

Over 40M people of Irish descent are in the United States, 8x more than the population of Ireland

The Irish people (Irish: Muintir na hÉireann or Na hÉireannaigh) are a nation and ethnic group native to the island of Ireland, who share a common Irish ancestry, identity and culture. Ireland has been inhabited for about 9,000 years according to archaeological studies (see Prehistoric Ireland). For most of Ireland's recorded history, the Irish have been primarily a Gaelic people (see Gaelic Ireland). Anglo-Normans conquered parts of Ireland in the 12th century, while England's 16th/17th century (re)conquest and colonization of Ireland brought a large number of English and Lowland Scots to parts of the island, especially the north. Today, Ireland is made up of the Republic of Ireland (an independent state), and the smaller Northern Ireland (a part of the United Kingdom). The people of Northern Ireland hold various national identities; including Irish, Northern Irish, British, or some combination thereof. The Irish have their own customs, language, music, dance, sports, cuisine,...
