Daniel Sturridge

[Fulham Broadway 16,783]

Showed strength on Saturday , willingness to defend, pace to break, and play Torres in nicely. :blue scalf:

I'm sure Robbie has had a word to him!

Just needed/needs a bit of awareness about what goes on around him. Its not Daniel Sturridge FC

[capriccioso 2,545]

I think it's time he is included in the Kalou-Malouda debate, which for those who don't know what it is, concerns the topic of who is our 2nd best winger.

[Milan 17,852]

Absolutely rubbish performance today. Always trying some tricks, and almost everytime he got caught. The way he wasted one opportunity is unforgiveable. And he was at the beginning of the Wigan attack that led to the equaliser when he made a silly mistake. He really needs to learn a lot.

[BleedsBlue 1,549]

Was he booed off?

[Kostas 1,468]

Goes missing for huge chunks of the game but he was twice today in positions would have provided him a simple tap in had his teammates passed to him.

I'd rather play him as a striker these days than a winger.

[Rambo 1,729]

Was he booed off?

I believe so which was a bit harsh imo.

[capriccioso 2,545]

There's only two ways forward with Sturridge:

1) Never, ever, ever, play him on the wing. Even when the alternative is playing a defender as a winger. Give him a right kick up the arse, make him play for the reserves a few weeks then let him play as the striker and see what he can do/if his attitude has improved.

2) Give him a 5 year deal and sell him in the summer.

I don't understand why many of you are critical of Sturridge.We all know what he's capable of doing and he is going through a rough phase.We all supported Torres when he wasn't playing well,why can't we all do the same for Danny?

[Madmax 9,219]

Was he actually that bad or is it the standard over-reaction?

I think he was dire today. People other than me were actually happy to see Kalou come on, and that's usually a sign that the player coming off had a shocker.

[Madmax 9,219]

Meh, he has license to frustrate at 22 years of age, same can't be said about Malouda or Kalou.

[KingEssien 127]

Some of the fans disgust me. He's been overall one of our best players of the season. He's been asked to play LW/RW when he's a CF yet give him stick for shooting at half chances - I'm sorry isn't that what you want your strikers to do?

Torres was through twice and slipped over like a bitch, what happened to him? Chants of his name at FT. It's bollocks how we treat our players, so what Torres hit a great shot? Sturridge has been far better than him this season and playing out of position and is still young, give the guy a fucking break.

[capriccioso 2,545]

His heads not screwed on right. And he can't live off past glories, he's been pretty shit since around December.

Finally,a true Chelsea fan here.

[capriccioso 2,545]

Can I then say, "Malouda was our best player 24 months ago and should never be criticised" or "Essien was our best player 36 months ago and should never be criticised" and accuse all who dispute that of being fake Chelsea fans? He may only be 22, but if he can't get his attitude straight then he's got to go.

Regardless of your position on him, you have to agree right now he is in rubbish form and going into such a critical phase of the season he can't play much more.

[Sheva. 5,373]

He has really struggled since the injury in December/January. Definitely not the same player than started the season scoring for fun.
