How can this be when Torres played for over 24 hours without scoring yet had multiple chances at goal? Yes Torres has pace and makes incredible runs, but when Sturridge is on the pitch you just know that there will always be someone in front of the goal ready and waiting for the right ball in. This was Sturridge's first year in the Prem and I am more than impressed with what he showed us this season. The first half may have been better than the second half for Daniel, but give him time to settle into playing first class football and he will bring raised eyebrows I have no doubt! Torres has either peaked or is nearing his peak. Daniel is just starting.

Why are people so negative about Daniel Sturridge? I have a real problem with people that keep saying he is selfish. He is a striker after all, would you rather he sat back and never took a shot? Some of his goals have been magnificent this season, and I think as fans we should give him credit as without him we would not be in the position that we find ourselves ! Is it not a fact that Sturridge is Chelsea's joint leading goal scorer with Lampard in the Premier League, with 11 goals? This is the same total as the combined efforts of Torres (6 PL goals) and Drogba (5 PL goals) and those two guys lead the line as CF in comparison with Sturridge who has been played out of his favoured position all season, yet still manages to score 11 goals! We mustn't forget that Sturridge never had one game as CF leading the line at Chelsea so it baffles me to why people (and Chelsea fans of that matter!) are so quick to judge and criticise when we aren't even getting the most out of him. What's more, if we take a look at Sturridge's record on the only occasions Daniel was selected to lead the line as CF in the PL (when he was at Bolton) , we will see the facts that Sturridge scored 8 goals in 12 appearances at Bolton. Interestingly, this is more than either Torres or Drogba in a full season in the PL. While I do not wish to criticise Torres or Drogba, I do not think it is fair that people can be so negative towards Sturridge, when he has been scoring more goals for us in the PL than any other striker in the team. When it comes down to it, and looking at this season in particular, scoring goals is of course the biggest priority and one goal can be the difference between 1st and 2nd, 3rd and 4th etc. Without Daniel Sturridge's 11 goals, we would not even have finished 6th. Don't be so critical towards one of our most exciting, young players before he has even had the chance to demonstrate what he can do. Great things take time, give him a chance and we will see what young Danny Sturridge is really made of! If he can score 11 goals as a winger, imagine what he can do as a CF!
