Daniel Sturridge

[Shaggy]

It's funny isn't it - I've never been a fan of Sturridge but once you sign someone you - or I do at least - begin to soften and allow yourself to see the positives. I *hated* the idea of Downing all along but once he'd signed I even softened towards him a little bit. A little bit.

After a good win, and seeing Cole shipped out, I've woken up feeling more positive about Sturridge - he cannot and will not be worse than Cole, and could well improve for regular football. Good luck Dean.

I don't remember you softening towards Konchesky

As a man myself that uses the word Homogeneous on an almost daily basis, I applaud him for getting the word out there.

Homogenous?! Why on earth would Sturridge use that?!? He won't even know what it means. He said 'humongous'.

Yup. This pretty much. A bit like Rodgers, it's not who we initially wanted and when linked, and we were underwhelmed. But let's see what happens. There is a player in there. Is he better than Cisse or Babel or Baros? Time will tell.

Cole definitely gone?

Tbf, Forester is right, you are a miserable git. Your posts are not constructive at all, just completely negative with no wavering whatsoever.

Plenty of people on this site who by bring positive all the time are not being realistic. You're the opposite. So negative that you have gone past the stage of being realistic.

Are they all your actual views and outlook on the club, or do you just use this forum as a way to vent your frustrations?

OK thanks for your input, I will just shut the **** up and lurk.

No mate, don't take it that way! All opinions on this site are welcome, would be nice if you could be more balanced, but negative opinions & positive ones help keep this site real.

Would be boring if we all agreed!

Sorry to upset/annoy if I did

Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard insists there can be no excuses from new signing Daniel Sturridge after his €15 million arrival at Anfield.

The 23-year-old is already on his third major club, having left Manchester City to join Chelsea but flourished at neither, and that has raised questions about everything from his quality to his temperament.

Sturridge is likely to get more of a chance under Brendan Rodgers than he had at his previous employer but Gerrard said, at some point, the player had to realise his situation and turn potential into regular goals.

“Daniel has the quality. I know he’s got it, I’ve seen it,” said the England captain. “He’s suffered a bit at Manchester City and moved on to Chelsea where he hasn’t played as much as he wanted but has shown flashes of brilliance.

“I think he’s at the age now when he needs to settle down, get a settled club and show consistently what qualities he’s got.

“If he can start producing that for us on a weekly basis he can help this club move forward to where we want to be.

“He has said he wants to play football for a big club, the stage is set for him. There will be no excuses for him. He will be playing with good players at a great club.

“It’s all there for him. He just has to go and grasp it with both hands. He’s at an age now where he should be performing week in week out.”

Sturridge is likely to be Rodgers’s main signing of the January window and has been brought in to offer support to leading scorer Luis Suarez.

The Uruguay international’s hot run of form shows no signs of abating as two goals in last night’s 3-0 win over Sunderland took him to 15 in the Premier League so far.

But with fellow forward Fabio Borini edging closer to a first-team return Gerrard believes the addition of Sturridge also will improve their hopes of a top-four challenge.

“Daniel’s arrival will help the club. He’s got power, pace, strength, he has got huge potential,” added the midfielder.

“He’s another attacking option and if you look at the bigger picture from the beginning of the season up until now, we have been a little bit short in the final third.

“He will add more strength in depth for us and let’s hope he’s not the last face in January because we certainly need a couple more in.”

Suarez lit up Anfield with his two goals, after 18-year-old Raheem Sterling had opened the scoring, and Gerrard admits his team-mate is one of the best around at the moment as he trails Manchester United’s Robin van Persie (16) by one in the Premier League top scorers chart.

“He’s just world class. There are a handful of players in the world who operate on a different level and he is one of them,” he said.

“He can score all types of goals. I was looking in the programme at his goal record: for someone who the critics say doesn’t score enough, just have a look at his record (Suarez has scored 31 in 64 league games).”
