KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607 Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 It might just be me but I thought Sturridge was a bit average. He wasn't much better, if at all, than Torres. Not much difference between them IMO. I'd be fine with Sturridge having a string of games to prove himself though. He offers maybe a bit more directness however he missed some good chances (Which is what Torres is criticized for). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themightyblue 443 Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 I think he can afford to have one bad game and still have our support since our only other striker has had about 50 of them in the past two years.Every player deserves support because there all playing for the club we love. However it's just a fact that if it had been Torres that had fallen over from that Victor Moses cross, or Torres trying that backheel at the corner flag or Torres shooting from that ridiculous angle then he'd have been absolutely vilified. Don't think there any need to hide because our strikers should be judged the same. Lets hope Danny can get more starts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RamiCFC9 258 Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 The difference is Torres got 2 years and around ( I don't really know exactly) 80 games, 50 of them as starter playtime and Sturridge got like what 5 games at best as a CF during his whole period here.

If Torres is vilified when he misses an easy chance, it is for all the easy chances that he has been continuously missing not that miss alone. You can't judge a player only on the match he is playing but on all the performances you've seen from him. Otherwise we'd be saying that Lampard is shit if he misses half a chance.

Also by your explanation your saying we should not be judging Lampard just on this season but on all of his performances from past seasons? I feel this is also going to go into a Torres debate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post! Muzchap 8,966 Posted November 1, 2012 Popular Post! Share Posted November 1, 2012 Look Danny himself said this was like the 5th time he has started as a Striker, the other appearances where as a Sub.You cannot expect miracles, he did his job to the best of his ability, he has potential and like our other players, if given time will improve.Do I still think we need Falcao, yes.Do I want to see Danny playing more? YesCan we realistically compare Danny to Torres after 1 full game? No!So lets chill, use the COC to assess Danny further and then see where we need to be.One thing I do admire with Danny though, no matter how bad he fucks up, he never hides and will always want another go, this is a big difference to Torres and makes me believe this boy old be something special in the future...

princeharryo 0 Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 I think sturridge needs to back. As a striker, you shouldn't been playing like he did yesterday against Man U. We could have scored about 10 goals. Man U did not have a good day and we had all the chances to hammer them. Sturridge and Romeu's performance was abysmal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post! TorontoChelsea 4,064 Posted November 1, 2012 Popular Post! Share Posted November 1, 2012 Moses had a better game than Mata yesterday, should Mata be benched for Moses in the next games?No! Chelsea should just institute a new policy starting in January. Any player who misses an easy chance or makes an error that leads to a goal, immediately gets sold.. This will, to use Republican parlance, "incentivize" the workers. Mata missed a gaping net? Sell him! Cech let in a bad goal? He's useless, sell him! The replacements to these players will be bought based on who currently has the coolest youtube compilation of skills.

BOSS 372 Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Scored only one goal. Pathetic, Liverpool player.Atleast he does score a goal that he worked hard for. Torres only scores tap ins.

Sheva. 5,373 Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Some people make the most ridiculous excuses, but i'm not going to argue because i don't really have much against Sturridge.Hope he does better in his next outing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meetdoscar 335 Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 If we had lost this game in normal time I wonder what peoples opinion of sturridge will be. Torres is not good enough as our CF but sturridge isn't either. Period. laura90 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RamiCFC9 258 Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 One of the best tap ins i have ever seen! And still this is probably the one and only "wow" goal he has scored for merely 2 years playing in Chelsea shirt.You can bet that even Mikel if played like striker for 2 years and ~80 games will score atleast one screamer.

BOSS 372 Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 One of the best tap ins i have ever seen! Well that is his job to score such goals but what happened after that?Sturridge scored much more goals outside the box than Torres did for Chelsea. For example :- vs QPR- vs Bolton- vs Newcastle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
