Sturridge doesn't need to earn the right - BR paying £12m for him has 'given' him the right to play upfront. What Sturridge needs to do is earn the right to 'stay' there.
Although Suarez appears to play centrally up front according to the TV team sheet graphics, he actually plays in a free role. Whether he starts out wide or behind Sturridge he'll do exactly what he always does. With Sturridge up front, Suarez won't waste so much possession as he'll have an attacking team mate that is worth passing to. I'm optomistic for the pair of them.

+1. Exactly what I've been trying to say. He's not a no. 9. I am optimistic as well.

Personally I think they will continually switch 3-4 times a game which I think is the best way to exploit there flexibility.

Hopefully we will see more of the link up play that was evident in the Sunderland game where Suarez and Sterling combined down the middle. Having Sturridge in there can only increase the chances of this happening as so far whoever has played wide has seemed reluctant to drift inside.

it does not matter who plays where as all that matters is that you have the necessary quality, to make sure that when the chance to score come, you have the players who can put the ball in the back of the net.


I will listen, only if your answer contains wisdom

i would like to see daniel play in the middle with suarez doing his magic on the sides or just behind. for me we will be better off with dan in the middle then him out wide

Even if suarez is put out wide, which i think is where you get the best from him anyway, hes always going to drift in and do what he wants lol,

Suarez on the pitch is damage, stick him in goal, he'll still score

sounds to me BR is taking about replace hendo/shevley with suarez and not pushing him out left..which makes more sense. downing is whipping in crosses now that beg for a cf to knock them in. could work but i'd want someone better than sturridge
