Daniel Sturridge

[Rambo 1,729]

Sturridge is just a beast plain and simple

Second top-goalscorer after Super Frakie despite being played on the wing more frequent as well as having 3 less matches.

Yes his goal scoring record is impressive so far but I don't think he's ready to play on the wing yet. Walcott is more of a winger and offers much more on the right side. Sturridge isn't using his speed effectively and he needs to incorporate his right foot into his game.

As far as I'm concerned Danny boy should be an automatic starter for the rest of the season. If he doesn't deserve a place, who does?

[Joker10 946]

Position shouldn't be an excuse, his passing is awful.

[DavidEU 2,023]

14 league in 21 league games since he joined Bolton in February.

8 in 12 for Bolton, 6 in 9 for Chelsea.

[BlueLion. 21,491]

I think he will get 20 goals this season and then lead England at Euro 2012!

^Haha, what a funny lad. Already dancing even though first half was still on. Heck of a footballer too.

[francozola 2,040]

Confidence, arrogance, whatever. I just love his attitude.

That's easy to say though when he's doing well, during bad times he will be tagged a selfish arrogant bastard.

True, true. I'm curious to see how he would behave in a bad time. So far he has only had a half season of first team action at Bolton and a half season here and has thrived in both.

I know he likes playing as a lone striker but i think he has been better when playing on the right! You could see it when we were playing blackburn, dont know why but it could be that the pressure is smaller when drogba or torres are playing with him!

Think he could be converted into a right wing and could still play down the middle if we need him. That would also help him develop as a player and increase his team effort and his football understanding!

I like his style too and his passing skills have gotten better and are helping our team!

I will KEEP on saying Danny has EARNED the right to be given a chance at leading the line

I didnt say his HASNT earned the right to lead the line!

Just said he has played better with other strikers..

[LDN Blue 7,903]

I'm just happy he's in the main XI to be honest.

Just because he doesn't lead the line, formation wise, doesn't mean he can't move up to that position during general game play. We've seen him do it many time when he plays. He's bagging in goals when being started as an inside-forward, so I'm happy

[Rambo 1,729]

Just wished he had a better right foot at times.

[Jusek 2,031]

Just wished he had a better right foot at times.

Yeah, the right foot is his weakness. In preseason he actually scored couple of nice right footed goals, and I think his first goal in Chelsea was scored by right foot.

Yup:

[BlueLion. 21,491]

It's official - we're shit without Sturridge.

[LDN Blue 7,903]

It's official - we're shit without Sturridge.

Too right. Quite a positive thing too, if you think about it
