The What Could Have Been Liverpool XI: Attack
There have been several players in Liverpool’s recent past who have enjoyed the best football of their careers at Anfield and inscribed themselves into the club’s history with memorable performances.
Steven Gerrard, Jamie Carragher and Fernando Torres — to name but three — either spent all of their careers or, in Gerrard’s case as good as, with the Reds or — with Torres as an example — enjoyed their career-best runs of form in a Liverpool shirt.
There have been …
Thank You, Daniel Sturridge
I'll never forget the first time I spoke about Daniel Sturridge at length.
I was on holiday with my family in 2008, and in true father-son fashion a footballing debate was going on.
My dad was adamant that the state of English football was in a bad way - he was probably right, in hindsight - with no talented teenagers coming through at time when the 'Golden Generation' were not getting any younger.
I spent my time singling out two …
Daniel Sturridge, Thank You & Good Luck
It's been a tough time of late for Daniel Sturridge, in and out of the side over the past few seasons because of injuries, and a change of system; but any time Sturridge was in the side, or came off the bench, there was always a glimmer of hope for Liverpool when in a sticky patch. As one of the most clinical and predatory strikers ever seen at Anfield, fans knew, all it took was one chance, and Sturridge would …
Daniel Sturridge - Not Done Yet
Daniel Sturridge is quite possibly the biggest what if in recent Liverpool football club history. Last week the still only 28-year-old scored his 100th (and 101st) goal in club football. 71 of those goals have come in his 131 matches for the Reds over the last six years. This sentence tells you all about the striker's career - a lot of goals scored in very few games. Sturridge arrived at Anfield together with Philippe Coutinho in the winter of 2013, …
Sturridge Has To Start To Prevent Liverpool's Blunt Attack Persisting
With Liverpool's attack continuing to look like a harmlessly blunt instrument, it could well be time for Jurgen Klopp to unleash Daniel Sturridge from the off against West Ham on Sunday.
The 27-year-old has endured another tough season at Anfield, with a long list of injuries greatly restricting his ability to hold down a regular spot in Jurgen Klopp's team. Having made just five starts in the Premier League this season, he is clearly behind both Firmino and Origi in …
Daniel Sturridge - There will be goals
We are 11 games in to the Premier League season. Daniel Sturridge has no Premier League goals.
"We should sell him in January"
"He's past it"
"He's not a team player"
This is how many Liverpool fans speak about Daniel Sturridge. The man who has 43 goals in just 77 league appearances for Liverpool FC. He has scored 57 goals in 102 matches in all competitions for the club. And the fans still don't sing his name. I have never …
Cut Sensational Daniel Sturridge Some Slack
Imagine having a striker with a better goal record than Robbie Fowler. Once you’ve conjured up this image, just think for a second about having a centre-forward who could find the back of the net more reliably than Michael Owen or Fernando Torres.
But Liverpool need not dream because they have a striker of the highest quality in Daniel Sturridge. He averages a goal every 1.73 games in a red shirt which compares favourably to Fowler (2.02), Owen (1.88) and …
Daniel Sturridge is Priceless, Selling Him would be Foolish
In Premier League history Daniel Sturridge ranks fourth when you look at goal involvement per minutes on the pitch.
Yet there are a large portion of Liverpool fans that want to sell him and he's nowhere near his peak.
Since the inception of the Premier League in 1992 many great strikers have graced it. The likes of Michael Owen, Robbie Fowler, Dennis Bergkamp, Eric Cantona, Fernando Torres, Alan Shearer and Titi Camera.
Our very own no.15 is more effective than …
Daniel Sturridge; is he worth the wait?
Following the most recent setback in Daniel Sturridge's recovery plan, social media was flooded with angry Liverpool fans, fuming about the 'obscene wages we pay to a professional hospital patient', venting their obvious frustrations at both the club, for not pushing upwards in the league, and at Sturridge who suffered his tenth injury whilst at Liverpool.
Sturridge's quality is undoubtable, when fully fit, he is only second to Sergio Agüero in terms of strikers within the Premier League.
Considering Sturridge's …
Selling Sturridge Is Simply Crazy!
The crazy month that is the January transfer window is in full swing and once again Liverpool are at the heart of it all.
It's only been nine days since the transfer window opened and the headlines are already linking Liverpool with the likes of Ter Stegen, Gotze, Subotic, Hummels, Pato, Lacazette and even Aubameyang. News outlets and fan sites have been falling over themselves to find as many casual links as possible to determine our transfer targets, with everyone's …
