Why Daniel Sturridge is not doing enough for Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool http://www.skysports.com/football/n...-not-doing-enough-for-jurgen-klopps-liverpool
Interesting stat about mins to intercepts/tackles. Sturridge jogs over pretends to do it. Others sprint in to get a challenge. Simple really.
Sulky because not #1 on team sheet. Want to play as striker not supporting role. Never fully regained fitness. Too scared to apply himself incase of injury. Personally, I think he's just past his peak.
Didn't read the article but would like to say a few things: - The guy is constantly in and out of the team so it's difficult to get a rhythm. - he has played well in patches. And some of his poor performances have coincided with poor midfield performance which leave him isolated. - he physically can't play the intense pressing style. That's not to say that he's lazy though - his movement is good and links up well. - despite his incredible record at the club, he has never received or likely to receive the praise he truly deserves. Bar injuries, he could have been an all time great IMO. - in a Klopp team, I think he's best suited to coming off the bench for last 20-30 mins.
Sturridge cannot play as a lone striker, to be able to do, he has to be able to win the ball possibly in the mid field and hold on to it.Sorry Daniel Sturridge your days are numbered.
Imo the press starts at no 9 and everyone goes with that player. Sturridge kills our press game. His movement is only good trying to get on very end of a move.
I expected him to leave last summer. I was surprised he didn't. I'll be shocked of he's still at the club next season!
He doesn't suit our style of play. There - 7 words to say something it took the article several hundred to get to.
Well said Jimmy. Studge never has or never will play as a normal no 9 anyway. He has two problems - he's injury prone and he has limited stamina in comparison to the likes of Mane and Hendo. But, in a weekend that we rightly laud Geronimo, let's not forget one thing; Studge would bury 9 out of 10 of the chances that Firmino misses. And chances Firmino does miss. And while Lalla has been great too, let's not also gloss over the fact that he misses almost as many as Geronimo and he too is not in Studges class.
Very much like Aldridge in the 80's compared to Rushie. But let's not forget, as a finisher Studge is the only player we have in the same class as those two, whether he closes down like Rushie or not.
This is true. I do think firmino has improved a little this year in terms of calmness when he gets a chance but rush, aldo, fowler were all just naturals.. which probably conpliments their work that rhey put in to look that way. Sturridge clearly can finish but this year hes nit even getti g in position to score. The first 11 imo right now picks itself. The only two/three that come in are can and klavan with maybe moreno... for me neither sturridge nor origi are even close thus far. I must say milner at lb has been absolutely key cos hes more in him than just a failed winger hes got the intelligence and experience of pkaying cm to bring to the party. Lfc need firmino in the centre cos hes rhe only one with the hunger for the graft and then the ability to do something. Coutinho must play lw and mane i think has the pace to go behi d and stretch teams. Wijnalum and lallana are totally vital to getting the ball moving and providing the work rate. Clyne is clyne. Hes not bad, he works all day and never stops. Matip is great. Just what we needed. Tall. Brilliant on the ball, rangy, organises his defence, sweeps up. Just brilliant. Lovern is decent. Henderson is doing ok too. Can or henderson is going to be a close call imo. With no europe if this lot stays fit they can i hope win a cup and get 4th or better. Its going to be a tight fight with arsenal spurs city and chelsea.... two big losers are going to emerge and while utd look one i dont kbow who the other will be. Its time to call all dreamers together... its time to dream lads.. dont miss out this year telling yourself not to.. just let it happen.. enjoy every minute imo.
Agree with a lot of that except Ford as a quasi left-winger/half. Nah. He's free to do what he wants - he is that important.
Brazil say winger. I wasn't impressed v utd. Needed to move it quicker. Up top starting left suits me.
Oh and it's only defining where he presses. Ie the right full back. Left wing doesn't defineven where he plays with the ball any more than where Mane plays but he will be right side in press
He needs to play as the right sided player in the front 3 when Mane is out or not playing well. As the focal point of the front three it doesn't work. Sell only if we have someone to replace him off the required quality and be careful who we sell him to.
Usually when a player is injured for a long time, or prone to injury it affects his confidence. I think Sturridge is suffering from injury syndrome. He was very good as Suarez partner.
