Ok Danny might miss a few until he gets his eye in, but ask any 'Expert' about Studge and they will tell you he takes the ball early, which is a great thing, unsettles defenders and keepers, he doesn't need a touch...

I honestly believe he could be a great striker with more games and the team we have, do we need another Strikerv- sure, but lets give Danny a chance before condemning him...

WoW! I felt sincerely sad and worried due to our lack of a striker who could score from chances our attacking trio created week in week out.

But browsing trough this thread made me realize we have world class striker in our hands, actually we have had him for more than a year, but our coaches were unbelievable blind to see that, so they insisted to play him as a winger or not to play him at all.

I will never understand why. Was it really because of Torres all along? I remember seeing Torres on the bench quite often last season but that hasn't provided Sturridge striker role he craves for .

Seriously why? If he has shown glimpses of world class striker in training sessions how come he wasn't given a chance to be lone striker, at least after 60 minutes onwards?

I am well aware of the fact that AVB and RDM aren't world beaters in the coaching department but to overlook genuine, skilfull, fast, tricky finisher while chronically lacking any finisher at all is a serious mistake.

Nevertheless, I am left only to hope that Sturridge will be as good striker as people here make him to be . He will get his chance I'm sure of it.

Danny must not start next 5 games. He must start, as a lone striker, every single game untill January. Anything less is unacceptable. As well as not buying a striker in January.

The problems we have now with both of our strikers are now well documented but at least Sturridge is showing so much more than Torres upfront in terms of movement, energy, hunger and desire. Heck, even Shane Long showed more than Torres did!

Lukaku showed just as much as Torres did yesterday...

Didn't think Danny's finishing was as terrible as it is being portrayed. The only chance I'd he 'missed' was the one were he should have rolled it across to Mata on the far post for a tap in. The 1vs1 was very difficult because he was running away from the goal and on his weaker foot; Myhill also did everything right.

Regardless of the finishing though, he did incredibly well to create those chances for himself (not taking anything away from Mata who spotted the runs and made the passes). His connection with Mata was something special.

It is simply unacceptable anymore to start matches with 10 men when we have this boy on our bench.

I'm slightly surprised by your supposed angry reaction towards Sturridge.

I just don't think hes the right player to be our main striker. Hes better suited to be a winger imo. He showed more than Torres but lets be honest, our CBs have showed more goal scoring instinct than Torres!!

Given what we have right now, I don't think there is anything much we can do. Sturridge is just contributing more than Torres at the moment.

Guess RDM has seen the light:

"We will have to assess the whole team and see how everybody is, and how they have recovered," he told The Daily Mirror.

"But if I believe it is the right thing to do for the team, then yeah, I will leave him [Torres] out.

"I thought when we moved Daniel [sturridge] up there he looked a danger [against West Brom]. He had a very good chance saved by the keeper and another put wide.

"He was always a threat to the defence - we need to score goals.

This guy needs to start every game now. Put him on for every game for at least over an hour. We need to sharpen him up as he has not had many minutes this season, as he seems a bit rusty on his finishing (one of his better attributes) Let him adapt and gel with the trio behind him, and he can get us out of this slump and keep us in contention for 4th place till january.
