Las7 951 Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 We can't "sell" Torres, we can give him away - Sturridge is miles better than Torres and definitely a better footballer than Ba. As I mentioned in his thread when he was sold I expected him to outscore the combined tally of Ba and Torres - he did that, this season I expect him to score over 20 premier league goals as long as he remains fit.

mediator 2,026 Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 OptaJoke @OptaJoke6m98 - Percentage of Liverpool fans who now think they can win the league this season. Lead.If they can sign Willian, they will have a really strong squad :-------------- Sturridge --------------Coutinho --- Suarez --- WillianomagadThey have a good keeper and Touré + Agger is a really good pairing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ankit 3,176 Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Sturridge wasn't prepared to be on bench, wasn't ready to lead our line as #9. No option. Leading the line for Liverpool is NOT equal to leading the line for Chelsea!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
communicate 2,703 Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Liverpool played ok btu I am more surprised with stoke. It is so easy for Liverpool to get the ball to their attacking player in space in dangerous positions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zone 290 Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Mignolet with some shaky moments. Probably nerves on his Anfield debut. That save was world class tho. This Aspas kid is looking great. Liverpool's attack looks fluid, so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bir_CFC 3,455 Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 What idiots don't understand about Sturridge is that we didn't let him go, we HAD to let him go. He wasn't going to be our striker which he wanted and his contract was up. So he was going to leave on a free at the end of the season. And, to actually get 12M for him was amazing. If anything they should be praised for getting 12M for a dude who barely played in the first half of the season and whose contract was up in 6 months.

Idiots are people who don't think Sturridge is good enough to be our main striker but are happy to watch Mr.Fernando up top loosing the ball and failing to score. mediator 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post! CHOULO19 24,332 Posted August 17, 2013 Popular Post! Share Posted August 17, 2013 Am I the only one who doesn't see what all the fuss about Coutinho is? Sure, he's very good on the ball and has an eye for a pass, but he often over-dribbles, can't defend and his work-rate is terrible. He leaves his fullback complete exposed and it gets exploited by opposition. In the first half, 53% of Stoke's attacks came from the right, Coutinho's side, while only 18% came from the left. kellzfresh, Jype, Kojo and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of the managers played him as striker so not sure what other scenario was ever going to happen. None of the managers seemed to rate him as a striker.

But not from our board and management.So you'd rather see him leave for free? Not sure what the alternative was since the managers were never playing as striker. I'm not arguing Sturridge's credentials as a striker but the actual situation he and we were in and that you'd be an idiot to actually think he would have stayed if we didnt sell him.

Las7 951 Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 That's exactly our point, managers see Torres as a striker but he can't score and stick the only striker we had who could consistently score goals for us last season as not good enough to start as striker for us. That's some serious logic, watch Torres play he doesn't even play as a striker manages 2 shots per match at most and is awful inside the box yet managers saw him as a striker? No they saw him as the most expensive Roman signing a top payed player and their job was to try and make him score and 4 different managers failed to do that.
