Sturridge is a Striker , Origi and Firminho are not. The way Sturridge took that goal after being out for so long and the way he was making intelligent runs between their CB's getting into great positions shows his worth to the team.
Contrast his performance with Origi's who was completely clueless , showing poor first touches , too many touches , being shrugged off the ball with ease and then finally not playing Sturridge in for the fifth ( CL could come down to goal difference ) taking the shot too far out and hitting it straight at the keeper . He looked like he had hadn't played for 9 weeks.
So we are not seriously going to let Sturridge go and keep Origi ? Madness if that happens.
