kellzfresh 7,229 Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 The fact we got 12M for him when he had 6 months on his contract and was playing pretty shit (after a good six months where he had performed admirably well on the wing) kind of justified selling him and put out a message either he'd done something that made Di Matteo not want to give him a regular role. I mean Robbie wasn't the greatest manager but he was hardly stupid was he? If he could get the same performances out of him that Andre did, he would have played him, wouldn't he?Sturridge's poor injury record this last while is weird but I mean he says it could possibly be down to something genetic but its probably something to do with Rodgers' coaching techniques or Hodgson's coaching techniques and their training schedules too. Perhaps rushing him back too soon or something. The same was said of David Moyes with RvP last season. Rushing him back, pushing him too hard too soon. The training methods of coaches could be a huge part of this. Especially as people like wenger, Klopp, and a few others are notorious for their players getting injured darrus 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase 43,479 Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 With sturridge injury records, I'm beginning to think selling him was a bargain. The dude just can't stay fitHindsight is a wonderful thing. Before he joined Liverpool, he was hardly injured for us. The only issue was the length of it. Now, he's getting more injuries and different ones at that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly i think Robbie was told to play Torres, lets be honest Robbie wasn't even under consideration pre Munich and even that didn't suddenly change things either, while on Robbie's hand this was his dream job, the pinnacle of his career, the club he loves. Roman on the other hand simply settled for him, he probably said that he can have the job under the condition Nando plays unless he is banned or injured, RDM wanted the job so much he probably just said yeah whatever, if he refused then he wouldn't have got his dream job.Its no coincidence Torres got dropped in that Juve match and we went in without a striker, RDM knew he was gone and that was a message, he was as sick of Torres as we were.

He was sacked after we were on the brink of going out of the Champions League. I think that plays a much bigger role than some may expect, we didn't play a striker yes but crashing out in a group with Juventus, Shakhtar and Nordsjaelland is bad enough but as the holders of the trophy that really was a bit embarrassing and is more of a factor to consider before you go to sack somebody than if he played Torres or not. The Super Cup was probably another moment that left Roman with a bit of a sour taste but if the stories true Robbie wanted Chelsea to get Falcao in the summer and he didn't and the man tore us apart... Anyway I don't want to get much into this as I would have done closer to the time because we have Mourinho and he is the best coach we could have and Costa > Sturridge/Torres/whoever else Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
