Sturridge was making runs in behind yesterday but the midfielders were holding on to the ball. You should be winning the ball in one move and playing him in in the next. Very frustrating. In the 10 minute LFC.TV highlights you see Lallana win the ball, Daniel makes a run behind the defense and his run isn't tracked, instead of simply playing in Sturridge he makes one of his (many) Cruff turns and the opportunity is gone.
With Lallana wide, and Wijnaldum,Milner and Fabinho in midfield, the lack of creativity to take advantage of the runs he was making stood out. I think obviously he would excel around our best players in the best formation
Against certain bottom feeders I'd try this
----------------------Henderson--------Keita-----------
------------Salah----------Firmino---------------Mane------
--------------------------Sturridge---------------------
I'd think they'd run riot out there.
