Daniel Sturridge

I really wish he would light up at the thought of becoming a winger. He has all the good things needed, just needs a more humble attitude and better decision making. Do that and he can easily become one of the best wingers in the PL. The lone striking role is not for him in my honest opinion. He is much more suited and deadly on the wings.

The board should get 2 strikers in January

Good movement, poor finishing. The sort of things you associate with a winger.

The question is should Sturridge play until the winter transfer window or we should persist with Torres and his link up play - to me this is an easy question.

Missed his chances wastefully today,but I think he played upfront still much,much better than Torres.His link up with Mata look´s quite good.I hope he will start the next few games instead of Torres,with more playing time he is going to score for sure.

The story with Sturridge is that he knows how to create space and run into the right positions and he's oozing with willingness to prove himself. Things that Torres is not capable of. Hopefully, RDM has taken note of this.

I thought Daniel played really well, he could have done better with his chances, but at least he manage to get some and wasn't afraid to shoot. Something everyone needs to remember is that before this match he had played only 73 minutes of premier league football. He can only get better with more minutes.

Yes he missed a lot but he was there to score taking chances ! Also his link up play looked pretty impressive this game, he has improved alot in that aspect.Ill defend him till the end because the guy is trying to do the right things and hopefully with time given he will improve.

Sturridge's link up play is no worse then Torres. If he could finish he'd be a great striker. This is the first time in his profressional career that he is playing as a lone striker (compared to, say, Lukaku who has been a lone striker since he was 16). If people are willing to give him a few games to get into things I think/hope he'll produce. Torres was given the same, I.e. chances. Giroud was like Sturridge today, lacked panache in front of goal, but when allowed to settle is now one of their biggest goal threats. Sturridge could go either way, but I just hope people give him a chance.

It was actually refreshing watching our forward shoot, getting involved and making himself available.

Is he the long term number one forward? i doubt it but right now he is the best (well only) striker we have.

When I see him with the ball I feel like punching him in the face, knowing he'd most surely take a wasteful shot, destroying our attack.

My avatar has nothing to do with my comment. Some people would rather compliment Sturridge on his courage to shoot and there is nothing wrong with that as long as he remembers he is not playing alone in attack which most of the time he doesn't.

infact I don't remember him being WASTEFUL with match the ball all thru the match except for the 1st shot in the first minutes of the match. infact if any1 was wasteful with shots it was moses.

And other people would prefer punching one of our players in the face and obviously punching Sturridge in the face after tonight's game is a natural reaction.

Well, it is your right to be happy with him after the WBA game. I personally, after him missing at least 4 clear chances, am not
