Daniel Sturridge

[LDN Blue 7,903]

That... Cannot be good.

[KingEssien 127]

That... Cannot be good.

A young, confident striker in our team who now feels important and established enough to try and score more for the team and take responsibility rather than giving someone else the duty.

I think quite the opposite

A young over-confident striker, trying to throw his weight around by overruling the current pecking order.

Rhetoric works both ways my friend

^ Sturridge making his claim to take the penalty, Mata dismissing him.

I don't recall seeing this, clearly they were showing replays of the decision at the time..

Hmm interesting. Hopefully these two lads start trying to outplay each other haha, it can only be good for the squad

[Bosnian Blue 2,471]

That is what I would like to see from Torres.

[HRiver 1,512]

Torres would probably miss the penalty even on an empty net.

[skeeo 37]

has really gone off the boil since he was injured, hasn't really looked likely to score unfortunately

[BlueLion. 21,491]

We have a designated penalty taker every game, according to di Matteo, so I assume it was Mata's responsibility.

Even Mata himself once said that Lampard is no.1, Drogba no.2 a him the next one, adding that he believes he will definitely take one before the season ends.

[ja1 1,166]

Both he and Mata have struggled the past month

[St Abramovich 175]

Both he and Mata have struggled the past month

Thank god I'm not the only one who's seeing this.

[manpe 10,861]

the new Drogba and Ballack. wonder if Studge would have had the balls to argue with Lamps.

[Santiago. 1,500]

I love Sturridge, but in reality, he is a selfish player, almost C.ronaldo type, but its those selfish players who grow into a great aspect with amazing potential, i just wish Torres and sturrdige can be our main attack with mata just drifting behind them.

He is hurting himself, and the club by playing RW, he needs to be more central

[Caeruleus 1,148]

For Danny:

[Peace. 4,352]

For this end of season, it will be hard to make it since we don't have right wingers, but we will have to play him centrally. His playing style is really not suited to play on the wing.

Indeed, he does rarely track back to do his defensive work, and when he does, it really isn't efficient. Then, he doesn't have a link play good enough to be a winger, because the winger has to take a part in the build of the game, and Danni can't. Finally, his greed is a problem on the wing, he always tries to go alone, that makes a lots of ball being lost while they (the balls) should have been crosses or passes. We need a player who makes shots, he (always) makes shots... So we should try.

His vile attitude is becoming more and more apparent, and bar the 'attackers need to be arrogant' argument, it’s a problem. Having said that, can you blame him?, the position he 'desperately' wishes to play is being taken up by a guy who hasn't scored since September.

[Kez 2,727]

I fear that if AVB continues to play him on the wing he's gonna hand in a transfer request & be off.

Yeah it's not pleasing to the eye. If it continues and Sturridge continues to express his bitterness about this, it will impact his relationship with André. Rivals will have no hesitation in trying to acquire him either, especially the likes of Liverpool & City.
