Anelka tutors Sturridge

Guys, enough. If you disagree with what TX is saying, either challenge his reasoning, or ignore his posts, don't attack him and slag him off. As controversial as he is, he's entitled to his opinion without being battered for it.

TX, sure anelka does not always score against the big team. But every time he seems to play against them he tends to have a big impact. I can recall the liverpool games in the champions league, he assisted Drogba for his goal and he kept the ball well in pressure situations. Last year he was the league top scorer and at the end of the day, we still need that player who is going to score against lower end competition because if you don't win them games you will not win anything.

He has two perfect role models that he can look up to in anelka and drogba. They have been in the game for a long time, and have both won major trophies. If the club do this right they can make him the next big thing for English football but they will need to play him alot to get that experience. Play him in those games against smaller clubs alongside anelka or drogba and let him learn from them and let him see how the team plays. Even half a game or 30 minutes here and there would still give him a massive boost.

against mid table and relegation fearing teams it becomes very easy

notice Drogba is the only striker who delivers in the big games and when it matters most.

If its easy then why didn't other strikers do it? He scored goals against Aston Villa which was a big game at the time, and a hat trick that got us out of jail against Watford, Not to mention his goal at the Emirates.

All goals count. If he didn't score the goals he did against the West Broms and Blackburns and Watfords of this world, we'd have won nothing last season, and probably not even finished top 4.
