How anyone can criticise Sturridge after that game tonight is just ridiculous, and just demonstrates how desperate some of our fans are to have at go at the lad.
Did not have a bad game by a mile. Contributed, played well.. and we won over all. He was a part of a team that pulled through a scrappy, tough game. Few players were shining from tonight's game. None of our front 3 were. Salah missed some big chances - despite also scoring a great goal with a nice finish too.
A 'striker' as Sturridge is, is going to struggle in our setup where we don't play for a Striker. You could see moments where Salah was in the space that Sturridge wanted to occupy. He's not going to play the speedy football of Mane and Salah. But he's a quality finisher, and needs opportunities that Strikers get.
There's a few players I could have a moan at, but why? Let's enjoy the MASSIVE win for what it is!!
