Daniel Sturridge

[zolayes 14,489]

I would certainly have either danny or lukaku leading the line before Torres now

Was the best out of the attacking trio tonight

The difference is that Sturridge gets ahead of his marker and is able to receive the ball, Torres mostly gets clattered and is unable to be in front of one of the defenders - for a top class striker you have to know where to run in order to position yourself between the ball and the defender.

And as I said it's easier for Sturridge to find space with Drogba on the pitch because Drogba is a big guy and is not as easily marked as Torres is right now. A lot has been said about Torres and the amount of chances that are created for him, but witness this game and see how many times in the first half Torres was able to position himself between one of the central defenders and the ball - it certainly did not happen often enough.

Sturridge > Walcott.

[Badboy 1,526]

As if we are going to swap one of the best young finishers in Europe for a 100 meter runner ! Sturridge shits all over Walcott at everything but pace and he's hardly lacking in that department either.

And was I the only one impressed with Sturridge against Napoli. His workrate and tracking back was the best I've seem him do all season

[Slam Dunk 1,442]

Dont understand why we'd consider swapping one striker playing as a winger for a winger who wants to play as a striker. Ridiculous story.

[rantdeville 195]

You ever get that feeling...where ya feel the club is going to make a really really bad decision in the transfer market...??? As much as we shrug this off cuz its not "logical" for them to unload one of our prized assets for an underwhelming winger with fast feet, something tells me I'm gonna wake up one morning and it's gonna have happened. I feel that's how volatile and irrational our board can be.

Danny just limped off for England. Hope it's not bad news...

[NiclasCFC 2,582]

Lets hope he's not out for too long, but i think he is out of the West brom game

[LDN Blue 7,903]

F'ck, f'ck, f'ck. Welcome back Malouda.

[Bosnian Blue 2,471]

F'ck, f'ck, f'ck. Welcome back Malouda.

+ Malouda scored for France. Shit.

[Blue Armour 4,275]

+ Malouda scored for France. Shit.

Rather have a sort-of-in-form Malouda than one without any

[Sheva. 5,373]

Drogba and Sturridge out? lol just our luck.

[Billy. 2,742]

Well done Danny boy he got MOTM tonight for England

[CHOULO19 24,332]

Rather have a sort-of-in-form Malouda than one without any

He scored from 10cm out. I wouldn't exactly call it good form.

[Blue Armour 4,275]

Drogba and Sturridge out? lol just our luck.

Now's the time for Super-Malouda and Torres to finally link up! Ah...this is going to be depressing
