Just in case someone who can help sees this, the ballot is in a couple days for tickets. If any spares for myself and AussieRed are knocking about, please DM either of us! Everything else is booked to head over to Madrid.
Likewise, Billy. But there's also a part of me that thinks we need him on the bench - he's still our most natural striker and despite recent weeks, our best finisher. Could be invaluable for a match like this.
Could knock Lovren off that squad with Gomez and if need be Milly there for defensive cover. Make sure all the others are available off the bench.
I'm constantly bemused why Sturridge is described as our most natural striker when he simply isn't. He doesn't run into the correct places, his touch is poor, his shots are poor, his link up play is poor so in what way is he a "natural". By the way I am taking into consideration that he is rarely match sharp but even so a "natural striker" should still be capable of a lot more than he shows.
I think our most natural striker is Mane, with Salah being very close behind but capable of a little bit more magic than Sadio although even that is debateable, especially if you consider Sadio's his goal in Munich ;-)
