He just needs to do what he does best: 1. run, 2. control the ball and 3. score.
He has pace and incredible technique, he just needs better to find his position in the team and Coutinho, Gerrard and Hendo will give him the passes he needs to score.
I think he would have scored more if he had a no. 10 playing just for him like Torres had with Gerrard. Sturridge is a real goal scorer with all required qualities but he is not a creator like Suarez. But 21 goals and being the second best striker of the EPL is enough for me
... even though I'm sure he can score more.
He had a better season than Rooney, Van Persie, Aguero, Dzeko, Negredo, Soldado, Demba Ba and Eto'o!
I think the real issue of the team is the midfield which is not good enough. Hendo had been great but he needs to create more occasions and improve his scoring abilities. Coutinho needs to keep it simple and he will eventually score. Gerrard needs to improve his positioning as a DM, he has a lot to learn from Lucas here.
If the midfield improves, our attack and defense will improve.
