Daniel Sturridge - 2020


Recommended Posts

So the shite that is international football costs us 3 injuries already and we still have nearly a week of the shite to go.

 

It should be fucked off - why should clubs employees be fucked up playing for fa's.

 

Fucking friendlies at a key stage of the season.

Didn't Denmark win the Euro's with none of this preparation? Agree friendlies at the expense of the 'bread and butter' club football should be fucked off.

It is absolute rubbish - what happened last night has absolutely no bearing on the summer tournament whatsoever - but could cost clubs dearly.

Our best player is the one that plays best most often. It can change, but Sturridge right now is far from our best, and I can't remember the last time he was, if he ever has been. The theoretical best performance level is not worth considering when all of our players are so incapable of delivering it with any regularity.

I can't decide if he has lost his pace or if he is playing within himself, building up confidence and minutes before sprinting flat out.

 

If it is the former, he is still a skilful player who will score goals, but not nearly as threatening as with pace. I'd be sorely tempted to sell, especially at the sort of price we've been seeing.

He's been saving himself for the summer.

That is all.

Exactly , shop-window at the Euros. 

Anyway if it works that we get stupid money for him because he looks the player of old in an England shirt then more fool whoever buys him and we will have millions to squander on the next Benteke

We know how good a player he could be. He's done it with us. We're in no position to sell a player of his ability. It's not like we have a Luis Suarez in the team.

He's barely played in the last 18 months. If we get a decent offer we should sell him. We can't rely on him anymore.

 

 

Who will play upfront for us then? Since Suarez left we've spent more than 60m on Benteke, Balotelli, Origi, Lambert, and Ings and failed to replace him. Do you trust the committee to replace both Suarez and Sturridge now?

But you've just completely ignored the point I've made. Sturridge, coutinho, Firmino et al. The theoretical best performance is of no relevance when they are incapable of producing it with any regularity. It just keeps people clinging on to a false hope while they string together long runs of 5 or 6 out of 10 performances. Then when we see the rare worldie, all those clingons are on here saying 'shove that up your arse' then they're quiet for another few months.

 

Suarez almost never had a bad game. This lot only rarely have good ones. Im farm ore optimistic that Klopp will have the good sense to recruit well and refuse to take on any new dross.

We saw that when fit he delivers like he did in 13/14, we have to try to manage him as we have not got much choice.

It's ridiculous how underrated Sturridge is on here. He's the closest thing we have to world class when fit. It's looking like he's finally moving on from his injury problems. Yet you go on the summer transfer thread, every second suggestion is to replace Sturridge.

Because he hasn't been fully fit for nearly two years.   Nothing more, nothing less.
