Topic: Daniel Andre Sturridge

[Carlito Roberto]

Hopefully he doesn't get on tomorrow and will be fresh for Villa.

Hopefully he doesn't get on tomorrow and will be fresh for Villa.

It might actually be beneficial for us because he hasn't played regularly since his loan spell at Bolton.

[farawayred]

With the amount of chances Suarez creates, he would have been looking to score 50 goals a season if he was as clinical as Fowler.

[RichardM]

Safe to say he's suffering a bit of a lull at the moment?

Doesn't seem as sharp as when he first signed, hopefully it's nothing.

He has had a couple of knocks. I just think that a front three of him, Suarez and coutinho isn't as balanced as say coutinho, Suarez and downing.

I don't think there is enough goals in Coutinho, Suarez, Downing as our attacking three but I don't like moving Suarez away from central position and Sturridge is less effective everywhere else IMO.

Has the potential to be. We've only seen it for a short amount of time. Both Sturrdige and Suarez must be willing to switch positions, when one is central the other needs to move to the right

[horne]

would like to see the coutinho suarez sturridge meself with license to float....movement is everything upfront otherwise defenders have the edge....is it possible
i remember kenny s teams being fluid and it was exciting to watch,,hard to combat

[Fuzion6]

Other than his loan spell at Bolton, Sturridge has always suffered from little niggles and knocks. Hopefully its something he grows out of as he gets physically stronger but its something to keep an eye on with him .

[sattapaartridge]

I think Sturridge is better when playing teams that "come at us" so he's useful to us on the break with his pace.

But against a team that likes to park a bus, keeping possession and shape is paramount i.e. Downing is better for this.

I think there are some interesting signs though with Coutinho gaining his fitness/adapting, being put in the hole, allowing for someone to take that left hand side role? Sturridge?

[Draex]

And the fullbacks must provide width.. The issue we had v's West Ham was Johnson kept coming inside and we become very narrow - Rodgers also needs change it up - was obviously not working with Suarez as the tip, should of flipped him and Sturridge and got Daniel to simply goal poach and allow Suarez move room and better angles to run at their defence.

Hope he gets a game in tomorrow and a goal.

[Barneylfc∗]

Hope he gets a game in tomorrow and 6 goals.

Has a great potential and has age on his side  ... but not sure... we need to buy one world class striker  in the summer and offload borini(is he still playing for Roma  )

No he broke a foot and then a shoulder

[exiledintheUSA]

Yes, we have let our player play for Roma all season long, he struggled a bit out there when he broke his foot so they sent him back only to then dislocate his shoulder while on loan loan exchange to us, so we sent him back to play for Roma again.  Thats exactly wahts happening. Honest.

[Thog]

I hope not otherwise I just bought a new kit for nothing.

I agree with this. Buy a top quality, experienced striker and send Borini on loan somewhere in the Premier League. Next season will be very vital for us, we HAVE to make the top 4. There's no excuses and I don't think Borini can cut it yet and can be relied upon to help us achieve that goal.

I know people will bitch and moan at me for that saying "he's only played x games" but from whatever amount of games he's played, he's never looked reliable or looked like scoring. Compare that to Coutinho and Sturridge for example who I feel very confident in having in the team.

Suarez, Sturridge and another quality international striker (my preferences would be Gameiro or Torres) would be more than sufficient if we're buying that quality and we can send Borini on loan to see if he's made for this level or not whilst not affecting/holding back our efforts in pursuit of where we really need to be at next season. With my suggestions, we know what we're getting.

Next season is extremely important, and we have too many players already that are still learning their craft. Borini is one of them. Sturridge I think will have a good season with us next season, he's the type of talent we need to be looking at rather than the younger "can be a good player in 3/4 year's time" signings we've made too many of. Sturridge has had that experience at this level and is still young with room to improve even more.

[clinical]

I actually quite like Borini, but to me he's just a worse version of Sturridge. If selling Borini would mean we'd get a strong centre forward like Benteke i'd be all for it

[Johnnyboy1973]

Hmmm.

Didn't look great from the right did he?

He didn't look great up front either mind but he looked better than he did from the right.

[Upinsmoke]

he was stretching games when he first came, now he isn't, don't think reading played particularly defensively today or deep, not compared to whu anyway.

[krizzobizzle]

Hes great technically, lively on the ball, but the caveat.

What worries me is he has no vision or intelligence for the right pass on 9 out of 10 occasions, same stuff he has at Chelsea.

Off the ball he's incredibly "placid", I wouldnt call him lazy, but his workrate and aggressiveness isnt there. A shame as hes built to cause problems in that sense.

[lessthanmatt]

I often think he wants too much time on the ball. Not bad, but not as sharp yet as before his injury.

A minor point: not sure what he was doing in the last 20-30 seconds of the game. I was screaming for him to get the ball forward.

[hem1987]

I don't think sturridge is only responsible for not stretching the teams . Lot of responsibility needs to burdened by our full back especially johnson recently. He is playing poorly and almost playing centrally rather than giving width.
I have rarely seen our full backs hugging the touchline and stretching it to be fair . May be it is down to tactics who knows

Carragher went mental at that

He looked as though he was out of puff at that point

[abhred]

Needs that bit of composure in the final third. If he did, he could have grabbed a couple today.

[Death by Football]

Obviously a goal would have been nice but as far as the rest of his game went I thought he was actually quite good today

Stats are kryptonite to the superfans who need numbers on a plate to try and understand the game they can't evaluate with their own eyes.

"6 chances".  Out of those 6, how many were opportunities he crafted rather than played a simple pass for?  How many were good chances?  And how many were miscontrols that fell into Suarez's path?

Sturridge has got pace and explosiveness, but I can't warm to him.  He's wasteful, selfish and unintelligent on the ball.  It was a big risk bringing a player like him with his attitude into our team and I hope it pays off.  I just always get the feeling he's trying to prove that HE is the best, rather than trying to do the best for the team.

[Johnnyboy1973]

But he's not always stupid. The dummy for Suarez to run onto in the first half when they cleared off the line was very clever.

Ah ffs here we go.....hes streets ahead of some of the players that are lauded on here (henderson, downing, lucas etc)

he obviously went to to control it. obviously. but missed it by accident.

Lazy almost cliched comments about him already Jesus.

What a load of shite... i can't believe the "attitude" argument is still doing the rounds, his attitude has been fine. I think he is a confident young lad with lots of natural ability, as a result he often takes more onous to do something individual, but for christs sake he's been here 5 minutes, get  good pre-season behind him and a settled position in this team (our attack since january has been anything but consistent in it's design)

He's done just fine since his arrival, had we have scored today, the Daniel Sturridge moaners would be mute.

[MacJanner]

The elephant in the room is that Sturridge isn't good enough to be a first choice striker here at LFC.

We need to bring in a top number 9 this summer, with Sturridge either trying to get a place on the right side or a cameo role as a sub.

He's mobile and fairly pacey sure, but hes dead between the ears,  very hit + miss in terms of ball control and first touch, and lacks the movement and link-up play to be first choice.

The elephant in the room is wrong.

He's been here for just over four months, he's got a good scoring ratio so far and has improved the side despite missing chunks of time with niggly injuries, stopping his progress.

[Johnnyboy1973]

More strikers, really?

Maybe we need to accept that Suarez and Sturridge/other striker cant play every game together or that if they are, then on the basis of what we have seen, that in certain games Suarez would be better suited to moving wide rather than Sturridge.

[DeLeiva]

Ouch......  All of a sudden he's not good enough?!?!

Give him a bit of time lads.
