🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Daniel Sturridge

[Sheva. 5,373]

But this is the point I'm making, what do you expect from a CF playing as a winger? He's gonna be selfish, deal with it, he's a striker. Malouda is a winger, he shouldn't be selfish, it makes sense.

Torres chants were far before he hit the post.

Him being a striker is not an excuse, Torres gets shifted out to the wing many times and still tries to create for the team.

Even Drogba is not as selfish as Sturridge. Fuck, even Anelka who was a main striker before coming here, was never this selfish.

Torres chants - they were Torres chants when he was warming up and about to come in, and when he hit the post.

Torres is 27, Drogba is 34, Anelka was in his 30's. They have experience of playing along the front in a lone role in all positions. Sturridge is 22, all he knows is playing as a striker, off the shoulder and shooting. You just can't compare experience.

Goes missing for huge chunks of the game but he was twice today in positions would have provided him a simple tap in had his teammates passed to him.

I'd rather play him as a striker these days than a winger.

Isn't that funny? Like they were trying to show him what it was like to be in their shoes when Sturridge refused to pass and provide a simple tap in.

I once said that Sturridge has very little skill for a winger and that he mainly relies on tricks. I realized how wrong I was during Man City game.

He has skill, he has pace and he is very needed. But what use of that if he puts himself first and doesn't use those skills to make the best for his team. Because he can, unlike most of others, therefore he is responsible even more.

When I look at Malouda I'm not even sure if he can. I blame the board for having him still.

When I Iook at Sturridge I know he can. But he lets his ego and selfishness to endanger his cooperation with teammates and the quality of game at the position he occupies. Even his place in starting XI.

The irony is, if he tried his best he could be our best winger game in game out this season. He had skills but not the will to try. He prefers striker glory over improving himself as a football player at such early stage of his career.

Which is too bad, given there are many top strikers out there but very few wingers.

Cmon now, do you really have to have experience to know whether or not to pass to an open team-mate?

I reckon not.

It's not that, why to try make things so simplistic? It's about what's expected from you as a striker and what's expected as a winger, changing to adapt to different expectations whilst still playing the gameplay you know best takes a lot of time and experience.

[BlueLyon 9,359]

Should pass and had assist + Torres would score a goal and make his mind more calm...But no wonder Torres lacks of goals if such ego is playing on wing...Dissapointed with Danny, he is realy selfish and that would be certain goal for Torres, who needs to score to become more confident.

[middleoftheshed 388]

He was subbed right after the equaliser so I think the frustration from that was taken out on him. Doesn't make it right though, you don't boo your own players.

[Peace. 4,352]

I hope he gets sold to a club which will allow him to blossom. We are wasting him.

Ps. No need to mention the double standard, if you know what I mean...

[ja1 1,166]

The booing was ridiculous

[capriccioso 2,545]

My argument wasn't on his preferred/better position, we all know it is Centre forward.

It was on the basis of how poor and disgusting some of the "fans" are.

I for one don't agree with Torres dick-sucking either. Torres has been probably the worst player to pull on the Blues shirt in the best part of a decade and he gets backing that my Salomon, and other players like Sturridge, who have been consistently miles better than Torres since Jan '11 are not given. Some bloke the other day even went as far as calling Kalou the worst ever player to pull on a blue shirt, but I look at our number 9 and I know that's not true. I wonder if things would have been different had, say, Malouda cost 50 million, would he get this fellatio or would people eventually see through it and realise he's wank?

Anyway, lets leave personal feelings aside. Would you really start Sturridge on the wing again in the next few games, given how poor he's been on the wing for several months? Personally I'd leave him on the bench or if I felt a huge hard on to make him play I'd drop the strikers and put Sturridge in there instead.

[Blue Armour 4,439]

I hate it when the fans boo their own players...

Granted Sturridge was terrible today, but those fans aren't helping him like that..Let the manager do the criticizing.

[Spike 12,049]

I think it's time he is included in the Kalou-Malouda debate, which for those who don't know what it is, concerns the topic of who is our 2nd best winger.

Some clever users created two distinct portmanteaus regarding this topic:

Kalouda

&

Anelkalouda

They fell out of vogue when the bashing of these players reached it's height and some users got very annoyed by the constant hatred and scape goating.

Some of the fans disgust me. He's been overall one of our best players of the season. He's been asked to play LW/RW when he's a CF yet give him stick for shooting at half chances - I'm sorry isn't that what you want your strikers to do?

Torres was through twice and slipped over like a bitch, what happened to him? Chants of his name at FT. It's bollocks how we treat our players, so what Torres hit a great shot? Sturridge has been far better than him this season and playing out of position and is still young, give the guy a fucking break.

Sturridge runs his mouth and pouts all the while playing for one the biggest clubs in the world.

Torres said some stupid things earlier in his Chelsea career.

But the deal breaker is that fans old and young love a player that works hard in defence and attack. No matter how poor the form of player is, they will almost always be loved and respected if they a have a great work rate. Torres does this and Sturridge doesn't.

The thing I find with Danny is that after all his selfishness and poor attempts at passing he carries on doing the same thing over and over again. You see the fans have stuck by Torres because let's face it he is light years away from being a selfish footballer but i heard the fans giving stick to Danny yesterday when i saw the highlights because nobody and i mean nobody want's a selfish player on the team unless he is called Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo!

Danny has great potential and i seriously think we should put him where he want's to play, Center Forward!
