Hope all the Sturridge haters/doubters read that interview. Applause.

I like him but we don't need him. We have better strikers and better wingers, he only makes the squad cuz we lack goal pace and goal threat in general.

Should keep Lukaku and get a better first choice striker, Lukaku can cover and get some cup games

You're so wrong about everything, all the time.

[Sheva. 5,373]

Yes keep Lukaku and sell Sturridge... 'cos Lukaku is going to be the next Drogba!

And lol which winger do we have, that's better than Sturridge? (obviously excluding Mata)

[BleedsBlue 1,549]

Sturridge shouldn't be sold.He's a player of great quality and is a very ambitious player hence the selfishness on the field.AVB obviously can't play him center forward this season but I think he will give him a chance next season with Drogba leaving and maybe even Torres following.Lukaku will be loaned out so Sturridge will get his chances.His chances of playing center forward all depends upon Torres,if Torres leaves then a world class striker like Falcao or Higuain will be bought but if he doesn't leave then he will still be considered as a second choice but if Torres still wont be able to score goals then Sturridge will play center forward.

I would prefer Torres staying and not deciding to buy a world class striker.If Torres doesn't play any better then we will sell him in the winter transfer window.Sturridge is a great right winger but I am sure he can be a better center forward.

Sturridge : Behold my deadly left foot y'all.

Essien : How does he do that?

Oriol : I'm not standing in the wall when Sturridge takes freekicks in training.

Torres : I wish I could do that.

AVB : I wish Nando could do that.

If Torres doesn't play any better by then, we won't be able to sell him!

Daniel Sturridge defended his team-mate Fernando Torres and vowed to help supply the Spaniard with the service he needs to change his fortunes in front of goal should Sturridge be given the opportunity to play alongside him.

The 21-year-old could feature in Chelsea’s starting XI after serving a three-match ban. Sturridge will be available for the game against Sunderland and promised to help get his team-mate Torres back to his best.

He told talkSPORT:

“For me, he’s still a world class striker and it’s only a matter of time before he’s firing again.

“I think myself and Juan Mata, if we play together, will make sure of it and he’ll certainly get a lot of opportunities with me playing in the team alongside him if the manager feels that’s right.

“He’s been at the top for years and obviously there has been a blip since coming here but we play well together and the future is good for Chelsea football club.”

“It’s just about finding form and that can be difficult when you move to a new club and are in a new environment, but I believe he will be firing in goals this season and I’m sure he’ll have a great year.”

Great job by Sturridge so far!

Lethal finishing by Danny today. And by lethal I mean he is killing us!

[termninja 5,290]

Didn't help himself today with his wish to play as a striker...2 great chances. Match would've went a different way had he converted them...

[OneMoSalah 8,778]

Is it any wonder he isn't being used as the front man in the attacking three? Cannot score the easy chances.

[Madmax 9,219]

Bad misses but I'm not going to blame Danny. Only real goal-scoring threat today like on numerous occasions in the past.

[LDN Blue 7,903]

LOL look at all you guys jumping on Danny's back after one bad performance. Smh.. He's scored more goals than Drogba & Torres combined. Put a sock in it.

[manpe 10,861]

what's happened to his finishing? from the sunderland mesmerizing backheel to missing an open goal against WBA.

He has become a true Chelsea striker or Torres showed him some tricks. Still can't figure it.

[Laylabelle 9,359]

He has become a true Chelsea player.

or Torres showed him some tricks.

Defintly been watching Torres to much lol..trying out do his misses!

[BleedsBlue 1,549]

Like Torres and Drogba have never missed easy chances.

[communicate 2,703]

Two clear cut opportunities missed, I am sorry there is no excuse for that
