Welcome Daniel Sturridge

[Hus]

Let's not pan him too much. He wasnt at his best granted. He still pulled them all over the shop to create space and occupy defenders. If he still delivers that on an off day against a very good side it's not so bad.

 

Some of his movement was great, it just looked like his touch was all to s****.

 

True - I accept I am being harsh, especially considering the result.

 

Agree, his pace in itself poses a threat and occupies defenders, and yes his touch was s****.

[Dan]

We started tearing through teams, I mean destroying teams, when Sturridge returned in Jan. He's vital to our success.

Unbelievable some of the crap spouted in this thread. DS has been a massive part of out success. Yes he's struggled last few games but his influence and fear factor can't be underplayed.

It all started with Spurs away. Norwich and West Ham were around that time too.

Any update on how long he is out

Till 4am, him and Sterling are starting a hoe train

[Leo No.8]

He's just been over excited in the last couple of games - snatching at chances and trying to strike the ball too hard, over doing the step overs and over running the ball. It's kind of understandable, but I hope if he's not out injured that he can settle himself down a bit. Been amazing this season regardless.

Agree, has been exceptional for the majority of the season, not his usual self in the last couple.

 

I think he's trying too hard if that makes sense, snatching at chances and trying to take on too many players.

I think people's expecatations are really high. Were we not playing against a team with the third best defensive record and conceded only two from seven games before our game?

 

He would have assisted at least one and scored at least one if they have worse defenders. I thought Demichelis and Kompany played well against Suarez and Sturridge.

 

I really hope he's not injured. He's crucial to our run in.

[Ombudsam]

I hate him now.

[johngibo YPC]

Just watching a replay.

 

Its even more infuriating watching him, poor decision making, that instance when Zabaletta tackled him after he ran into the box, had he passed it Luis was wide open and would have had a 1 on 1 vs Hart.

 

He also wasn't tracking back or closing down, lots of standing around with his arms in the air, his poorest game since he joined.

 

He was still on the floor when they scored their equaliser

[cymrococh]

I hate him now.

It's the only logical response.

[Foo]

You'll have to take the negatives with the positives with young Daniel. He'll come good again.

[RBM]

f***ing hell

[Farmer's Tan]

I think the pressure is getting to him a little, same with Suarez, we need to get their feet back on the ground.

Yep, their should be a claw back provision in their contract that allows us to claim back some of the goal bonuses paid if they go more than 2 games without scoring.

[AnfieldCop]

Daniel has been superb this season and will be a massive player in the future. We need him for the last 4 games. Our squad is very thin and it is crusial he is back soon.

[McBain]

Rest him against Norwich and unleash him against chelsea

If he is fit, play him Sunday. JFW.

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

strongest team. Every time. Chelsea won't matter if we don't beat Norwich

[Hus]

Exactly

[Walrus]

Still nothing on his injury?

[RP]

Still nothing on his injury?

 

 

Strange, isn't it?

 

I've heard everything from "he'll play on Sunday" to "he'll miss the rest of the season and the World Cup" ... oh yeah, including "he was faking anyway".
