but it is weird how people are so desperate to find something to complain about and look back at our game log to find games where we dropped points and say "We could have used him in X and Y game".
It's not that at all, find that desperate from you if I'm honest. It's because we are crippled with injuries in midfield at the moment, our front 3 are looking tired, Salah keeps getting slight knocks and at the most crucial time of our season, we are producing relegation form with our 2 current rotation options having a combined total of 1 goal between them, not just in this crucial period, but over the whole season. You are right to raise the injury issue with Sturridge, it's clear as day to see and I'm not denying that. But the fact is, he has played less games than Solanke, virtually the same as Ings and he has more goals than the 2 combined. So you can call it complaining and looking back at games all you want, but that simply isn't the case. It's saying how despite being injury riddled his whole career, he always has been and probably always will be a better goal scorer than Solanke and Ings.
We all moan about Sturridge' injury record, but it was Ings who went what was it, 2-3 years without a goal because of injuries. Yet people are happy to pretend that didn't happen? Just because Sturridge is injured again.
Sturridge has very questionable work rate when playing, but when Ings came on against Roma, in the first game, out on the right, he looked like he couldn't have given a damn and was making no effort at all tracking back to help out TAA.
Don't get me wrong, he has to go and be replaced in the summer, but for the run in, I'd have rather have taken our chances with Sturridge than Ings. But that's just my opinion, not asking you to agree with me.
