Bris Red Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 Bit of a waste of space is Sturridge im afraid, far far too injury prone for my liking.. Also what kind of a move was that to WBA? Shows the ambition of the lad dosn't it really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZiderEyed Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 He had one brilliant season at Liverpool when he was playing with probably the best out and out striker on the planet. Confidence player if I've ever seen one. Poor first touch, slowed right down, real shame for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He needed First Team Football and wasn't gonna get it at his parent club. There wasn't exactly a queue for his services (due to his injury record), but he had to demonstrate he was fit enough to go to a World Cup somehow (epic fail with that one). Sadly I believe his injury record will prove his ultimate downfall. Worth millions when fit. Worth about as much as me when crocked... and that's far too often Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tipps69 Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 Trouble with him is that while he wasn’t getting much game time at Liverpool & his injury record was / is horrendous, he still expected clubs to pay him obscene amounts of money to do nothing for them!! If he really wanted to play that much then he could of afforded to wave £40,000p/w off his wages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davefevs Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 Shame for him. A striker, who when fit, and in his head, believing he’s fit, is very, very good. A ‘no-back-lift" shot on him. Don’t think he trusts himself anymore. Young Iheanacho reminds me so much of him from that first half season at Liverpool and the following one.

BS4 on Tour... Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 He also got a rating of 6 out of 10 for his three minute performance last night from one national newspaper! And that was a higher rating than was given to three of his team-mates who played the whole game! Proves these lazy, lazy journos don’t actually watch the matches....

I didn’t watch it....did he do anything in those 3 minutes to justify it going down or up from a 6. You don’t start on 0, it’ll be based on the contribution for the time you’re on the pitch not weighted in favour of those that play 90 minutes.

Some players can’t. Heskey was another. When 100% fit in his head, he was a fine CF. When he had doubts he wasn’t. I wish I’d said I wasn’t fit when I was less than 100%. Strained right ACL become a ruptured ACL because i tried to play the week after. Double hernia (Gilmore’s groin) because I played on for weeks with one side damaged. Had to stop at 30/31, to find my left knee was bone on bone, zero cartilage, and specialist asked if I could put off a knee replacement for 20+ years. So not a straightforward problem for Sturridge. Suspect most pros want to play, Bogarde excepted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s the difference between those that play the game because they love it & those that play the game because they get paid too much money to! It was never an issue to play week-in, week-out with knocks & injuries while playing on mud baths, now it only takes a player to have a twinge & they’re out for 8 weeks & local football is called off if it’s rained for a day or so before a game because of fear of there being no grass on the pitch! It’s all to pussified for my liking nowadays! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Batman Posted February 14, 2018 Report Share Posted February 14, 2018 I have always through he was a good striker, but I can only mirror those above with regards to his injury record. Got his first chance playing as an out and out striker when on loan at Bolton where he had a great goal scoring record when they were in the premier league. At Man City and Chelsea, we was played on the wing of a front 3. Thus getting his move to Liverpool, playing up front and his goal scoring record is still good, but he just never plays. I say fair play to him for going to WBA, he's be almost guaranteed to start every week as other than Rondon, they have nobody else. Plus if his goals keep them up, it'll be a foot in the door for the England squad and may even play more when back at Liverpool or get him a more suitable move away.

But don't players who are brought on as a sub for 3-4 minutes usually get excluded from ratings as they aren't on the pitch long enough to have any meaningful influence. Should be the same here.

If the guy who played the whole game conceded a penalty and gifted the opposition a goal, then yes. I'd say everyone starts on a 6 and can move up or down based on performance while you're on the pitch. So if you start the game and have a shocker, you can get a lower score than someone who played for five minutes and did nothing of note. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So a player’s performance can be rated 6 out of 10 before he’s even touched the ball and before the game has started?! So if Sturridge’s only touch before he went off injured had been a successful tackle then presumably you’d have agreed with a 10 out of 10 rating for his three minute appearance - as everything he did in that three minute period was 100% successful?!
