Joker10 946 Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 He played better against Blackburn, he played more central against them which resulted in better decision making. He is selfish but sometimes overblown, its more to do with bad decision making and being uncomfortable out wide.He is a CF, and deserves the chance to compete with Torres and rotate with him next season. I think he is capable of also playing along side Torres in 4-4-2 or 4-4-1-1. bloody 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHOULO19 24,332 Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 I hope the comming pre-season has the same effect the last one had on him. I hate to say it, but he has done nohing since AVB left to justify a place in the CL final starting XI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kostas 1,468 Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Anyone noticed how he became much more of a team-player the minute someone who did stick to his attempted run stepped onto the field?Sturridge's selfishness should partly be blamed on the likes of Torres hiding behind the defenders and taking ages waiting for the perfect run.In a normal game he was as selfish as we've grown accustomed to Drogba being (can't say I'm bothered by his audacious attempts) , which is no wonder given his striker origins, and anyone who has ever said he lacks vision should drop complicated football related words altogether.

Dylan_91 90 Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 I think hes still done more than Kalou to get a cl final start. Whats kalou done since coming back into the team? think hes only scored 1. I know sturridge can be selfish but at least he has the ability to come up with something special whereas kalou cant do anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pride of lions 59 Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Has he actually made any tackles or won any 50-50 balls this season?! His tendency to just chicken out of challenges is getting really beyond pathetic. Everytime when there is a 50-50 ball to be won, he moves out of the way and allow the opposition player to get away with it! BLOODY FRUSTRATING!!He was the direct cause of the bin dippers first goal because of one of his continual bottling of a 50/50, my old mum is in her eighties but would put him on his arse. The one time he made a tackle he gave away a penalty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHOULO19 24,332 Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 I just watched the match vs Blackburn, and I have to say I do not understand all the criticism he got in the match thread. I thought he did very well with his dribbling and movement and was very unlucky not to get on the score sheet on several occasions. The lad is turning into the new scrapegoat OReillyD36 and Bosnian Blue 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he did very well with his dribbling and movement and was very unlucky not to get on the score sheet on several occasions. The lad is turning into the new scrapegoat Agreed. I actually want him to start behind the striker against Bayern because he can DESTROY that backline with his dribbling. Mata can still be influential on the left wing. We can't be going to Bayern trying to park the bus and play on the counter, rather hit em hard and early. We should be trying to exploit their weakness first rather than trying nullify their strengths first and hope to get a goal on a counter. It's the CL final, you play to win.

Joker10 946 Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Cant understand why RDM hasn't tried Sturridge behind the ST enough, while playing Malouda on a numerous occasions there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rolling in the blue 26 Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Sturridge was good to lukaku because of his size.lukaku was threatening him to pass him the ball or else be crushed into pulp.Torres is lightweight and girly;drogba is aged,so sturridge doesn't give a f**k about them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jusek 2,031 Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Just play him as a full-time central striker next season and it will profit. He can use his selfishness there. Ashblues 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
communicate 2,703 Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 I am surprised of how many people actually want Danny to start in the final. It does not matter what he can do offensively, his defending is really2 poor.He must start on the bench and come out only if we need a goal.

His tendency to just chicken out of challenges is getting really beyond pathetic. Everytime when there is a 50-50 ball to be won, he moves out of the way and allow the opposition player to get away with it! BLOODY FRUSTRATING!!This. I am pissed off about his performances more because of this than his shoot-at-sight attitude. I do not see a team player in him. AT ALL! He seems too worried about himself rather than breaking a run of an opponent player into dangerous territory. Actually, I see him tackle only when he thinks hes got a chance to run at their defense and shoot! He's gotta stop flying and being so over-confident. I think a sound thrashing from JT might do the trick. At least act like a catalyst. He also shows enough disregard to the manager, considering the situation with managers at CFC etc. Hes already become the arrogant Englishman in the dressing room. The difference between him and the rest of the "power-players" is that they have developed as footballers first and then got into the tussle. This is just my perception of his behavior and attitude on the pitch and an expression of the utter disappointment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laylabelle 9,535 Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 He started off the season so well!And then just suddenly turned to crap.Not passing..not really doing much of anything except making us swear a lot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
