Kieran.

FCN LEAD!

Picked up a knock in training.

Funny that both Spain and Chelsea go strikerless...common denominator? Torres.

I keep reading a 5-2-3...not very smart imo.

Fucking gutted for Sturridge, this was his chance.

For what it's worth, Azpi has experience as a winger. The only thing he offers over Moses is *more* defensively stability but Moses is very good defensively as well..

RW, just like how Bertrand started the season on the LW.

Neil Barnet confirms suspicions of a Sturridge knock.

Yeah, most people on here thought it was just to help Eden settle. Clearly not the case as we loaned him out almost immediately, and he has done nothing but impress.

Maybe a Championship loan first.

I remember, vs. England. Wasn't very good, though his passing stats were exceptional.

I really wanted to see Sturridge start this game, I'll be gutted if he's out like the rumours are saying.

He got it from Twitter most likely. It should be noted that this is all speculation..

Do people just ignore that most of his passes are forward?

We will win if we start Sturridge, I forgot what it's like to have a threat lead the line..

Our recent purchase history shows that we're looking into versatile players and he fits the bill. Can play up front or on the wings/behind the striker. I'm in favor of this move.

Death toll: 100 Palestinians to 3 Israelis last time I checked. Is this true?

If we do sign Huntelaar, I hope we sign someone who isn't cup-tied as well.

How people are unhappy with Mikel is beyond me...exceptional player.

----------Cech--------- Azpi--Ivan-Cahill--Cole -----Mikel--Ramires--- Mata---Oscar----Moses --------Sturridge------ Mata and Sturridge's understanding was encouraging.

Look how many more chances we had when he came on, he's SO much better than Torres. Just give him 2 or 3 more games and he'll be firing. He has to be #1 until January.

Cahill-Terry, but until then, Ivanovic-Cahill is good.

Sturridge was way more dangerous than Torres. Has to be #1 til January.

What was Bertrand doing at the near post..

It's his best position.
