Daniel Sturridge

[Reddreamz 10]

I have to admit I really rate this lad, and I had this ridiculous hope that we would somehow get Sturridge in the Meireles deal, I knew it was unlikely but regardless I kept up hope. Because in my opinion this lad is easily the best up and coming English striker by some distance, and I hate to admit it but he is 10x the player Carrol is

I was wondering why would a chelsea fan hate to admit that, but then I seen that you are a bin dipper.

You guys went from one good deal (Suarez), to sell a great a deal (Torres), to get a bad deal (Carroll).

It's like a roller coaster!

[Reddreamz 10]

Carroll's game is stereotyped and is atypical, he is not really a good pivot but just a player who give defenders the temptation to throw him random long balls (who said Skrtel ?) which cannot be exploited properly, particulary the second balls for the support players (on the knee it's inexploitable).

Sturridge is such better than that, he can fill the forward role because of his speed, he can also play in support, on a wing. He is unpredictable (Enrique still have nightmares), full of qualities even if his headers and his right foot can be improved.

I must admit I do agree with you because I also feared that Studge could be part of a deal and I also think he is going to be one of the best strikers in Europe

My main issue with Carrol isn't even the type of player he is it's just that he seems to not even give a toss on the pitch, he shows none of the hunger or the lust to prove himself like other young footballers like lets say Sturridge, but also the issue is that everytime Carrol is on the pitch we just start playing hoofball with Carragher front and center just panic clearing it to carrol every single time no matter who we face, so frustrating. Without Carrol we play such a fluid and nice attacking game that is a joy to watch.

The Carrol deal is the only deal I really disagree with though it must be said but I just don't see him fulfilling his promise.

Fuck men, a front three of Sturridge-Torres-Mata is getting me:

But just in case Torres continues to suck, replacing Torres for Lukaku would still be awesome!

[Reddreamz 10]

Mate, Torres just needs direct support player around him like Gerrard was at Loserpool (it's for you Reddreamz )

Every good game of Nando were when he had a support player behind him, Anelka (Copenhagen A, West Ham H), Yossi (Wigan H), Mata (the last 20mn last game) and even Kalou did look a decent player against City behing Torres.

Players such as Drogba are UFOs, Torres needs a player to play around the box because since the start of the season when he wants the ball he has to drop his forward position to play with Lampard or Bosingwa, but they are too far and the defence can reorganize itself. I'm quite sure that with Mata (or with Yossi) Torres will/would have shine

Yossi was never that type of player in my opinion, even at liverpool he never really linked up with Torres in any significant way. Mata might be able to get Torres going but Torres also needs to get his act together from what i've seen of him when playing for your lot he definately seems out of form or just bereft of confidence, cause there were times when he was basically a one man attack aswell, yes he linked up with Gerrard alot but he could score solo goals aswell.

I think the way Ancelotti bedded him in against us fucked his confidence up something rotten, was the worst thing he ever did in my opinion.

have been impressed with many of your posts lately but am saddened that your list of favourite players includes neither of Speedie or Wise,

Torres defo wasn't ready to play against 'pool in his first game for us, none of the Chelsea fans know what Carlo was doing. Perhaps he hoped that Torres's knowledge of pool's defenders would come in handy.

Take a bow Danny.

[warnie_666 1,081]

He has scored for us almost everytime he has started. Carlo Not giving Danny a run of games last Winter was Digging his own grave

Dear Danny,

I have to say that you are a brilliant player and that I am amazed by your recent performances. I was wondering would you like to help me learn how to score with my backheel and how not to make a

It is why I said this.

Mata and Sturridge showed greatness.

But Torres still sucking!

Looking from last night, he cannot become a Rooney. His work rate was anything but commendable. I caught him walking on the pitch more than a couple of times when we were building an attack! With all due credit for his goal, I think the kid needs to show a lil more commitment now that his primary goal, of getting game time, is achieved. Not very convinced by his performance..
