Miguelito 459 Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 i have 3 reasons why sturridge should have gotten more playing time and starts before we sent him out on loan (btw i do think it was a great move to do this since he was never playing)1) he scored against wolves2) he scored against tottenham3) he scored against evertonSeems like great reasons to me...could have used his goals the past 2 games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mean to sound rude here... but he scores against those three teams; who's to say he puts away one of Torres' chances against Fulham, or even gets a shot away in the Liverpool match? That's like saying we should not have sold Duff because 4 years later he scores a goal against Newcastle... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HRiver 1,512 Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Why blame Drogba, Kalou or Anelka. Blame Carlo, he decides who starts and who doesn't. I wouldn't be shocked if he decides to leave Torres in the bench either. He has no trust in players, if he doesn't leave him as a sub he'll be changing him in the 60th minute every game he plays.

Kojo 4,676 Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Sturridge also made assists in the game, and had a great assist in the evorton match what wasn't even offside. Sturridge has proved he is premier league fit. Honestly it's not like he gets lots of chances, actually in the bolton match he got like one chance and executed it, something our forwards havent been able to do recently. I love Sturridge and always have, he needs to get a push and he can do it, he's a reliable player. Fair enough he may not have this chance against Liverpool or Fullham, but damn say if he had Torres's position and he did position himself exactly like Torres, you could definitely agree on the fact that Sturridge could of executed those chances right in the back of the net.

Bir_CFC 3,455 Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 I was disappointed Sturridge wasn't getting any run in the league, but thank god for the loan deal. Carlo can ignore 5 goals in a reserve match, he can ignore goals against weak opposition in the Carling and FA cups, but he can't ignore his stint at Bolton. So once Sturridge is back, we know he's going to be a core part of the team, and if he still isn't then there really is no excuse left for Carlo, and Sturridge will be within his right to ask for a transfer.So basically, this loan deal makes or breaks Sturridge's future with Chelsea, which is good for fans and for him, cause it just frustrates us and surely him at the lack of confidence his manager has in him.

A new manager could well fancy Sturridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLion. 21,491 Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Daniel Sturridge's three goals in three games on loan at Bolton have not gone unnoticed with Stamford Bridge management. Carlo Ancelotti has praised the 21-year-old forward for his form since making a temporary switch to the Reebok Stadium, and is looking forward to welcoming him back in the summer. Sturridge was allowed to move to Bolton until the end of the season in order to gain more first-team football following the arrival of Fernando Torres to Chelsea, and the move is paying dividends. 'I am not surprised, and I am happy that he is doing well,' Ancelotti said of the England Under 21 striker. 'He scored three goals in three games and in the summer he can come back. 'For him it was the right time to go to play on loan because he didn't have a lot of space here and he needed to play. 'He found a very good club, Bolton is playing good football and he can show his quality. Obviously he can continue, and I want to say every one of us is happy because he can come back in the summer.' Sturridge is cup-tied for Bolton's visit to Fulham in the FA Cup fifth round this weekend, having scored twice against Ipswich for us in round three.http://www.chelseafc.com/page/LatestNews/0,,10268~2296805,00.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDN Blue 7,903 Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Good to hear that from Carlo. Hope he's watching all our loanees though, including Mellis, Rajkovic ect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kostas 1,468 Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 I remember Mancienne saying that he never had any contact with Ancelotti and he only spoke to the club's scouts. As for Ancelotti "welcoming" Sturridge, it's so sad I can't even laugh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Owen Coyle is a superb coach and he will, no doubt, do Sturridge's confidence a world of good. The fact he is playing football, though, is the best thing for his development. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact he is playing football, though, is the best thing for his development.He helped Wilshire a lot! Only problem be hanging back onto him when he comes back and making sure he's part of the plans etc cause be a huge loss if we let him go,seeing how he can do in 3 starts and all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 After this, it would take some serious ignorance and/or favouritism by whoever is manager next season not to give him starts in at least half of our league games next season. But let's not get ahead of ourselves; whilst we've seen what he can do in three games, let's see what he can do in a dozen, and see if he's still the subject of rave reviews.
