Sturridge could still be out there now and he wouldn't score, not on him the whole team bottled it,atmos,took them to lightly, i dunno was sh*t all round from us,credit to Red Star they f**king wanted it,got it.
The whole team was useless, but to take off Sturridge at HT and treat him like that was appalling.
Think he had 3 opportunities. 1 where he made poor contact and skied it. 1 where he took the shot when he had a better option, and the ball was deflected for a corner. 1 where he did too much, again with options, and hit it wide.
Maybe I missed one other, but can't think it would be much more than that.
It's not like he was awful. One bad miss, and he was selfish on two occasions. Given another 30-40 mins, he could have scored. We'll never know, but it's a bit of a stretch to say that he wouldn't have scored all night, and his performance didn't actually give any weight to that.
