El Corazón Azul

Sturridge has all the tools to become a great player for us. Look at yesterday, he created that goal from nothing! This is the Sturridge we all know from the beginning of the season. I know he's crying out to start as our no.9 but he shouldn't be ashamed about starting on the wings. Look at Ronaldo; when he starts on the wings for Real Madrid you don't associate the term 'winger' to him do you? Granted the final third in Real Madrid's line up interchange a lot, but the point still stands. When Ronaldo is on the flanks he uses that space to his advantage and that's something Danny needs to adopt. He can dribble past players, but he has a tendency to keep hold of the ball far too long, rather than letting his team mates help him. There was a point in yesterday's match where Lampard (I think it was him anyway) was infront of him and I was shouting at the screen PASS THE BALL!!! He did a great job keeping hold of the ball up to that point, but he tries to do far too much than he is capable of. Lamps was only like 4 foot away and if he made that pass, he could have let Lamps make that cross and Danny could have darted in the box for a header. It's little things like that which are hindering his prospects at Chelsea. If he can sort that out and improve his tracking back he's going to be not only a fantastic player for us, but for England as well!

I have a big soft spot for German players so hopefully he will he grow as a player at Chelsea!
