KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum How highly do you rate Sturridge?

One of the good things about him is that not being the fashionable name, no one has come knocking for him.

Well I rate Sturridge very highly, even though he does have an aura of vulnerability about him that makes you feel he’s about to ship an injury at any moment. I think it’s that sense of fragility that leaches away at your confidence in him. Suarez on the other hand had that aura of invincibility and granite like toughness, that just made you feel he was indestructible, and gave one tremendous confidence in him.

I think that will change with CL. One of his great attributes is that he scores against Oldham or United, not fazed by the opposition. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in Europe.

Absolutely brilliant. Easily a 40m player. Injury is my only concern with him

Hope he remains under the radar of top clubs and remains a red for his whole career.

English players don't seem to go abroad much, and I don't see him trying another English club. He already tried City and Chelsea, and I don't see him ever going back. Doubt he'd go to United either, given that he's played for City already and made his name with us. If Real or Barca or Bayern came in, I suppose that would be difficult, but I think he'd stay.

I rate Sturridge highly, he earned it after a stellar and mostly consistent performance throughout last year. The comments that people are making re: would he have had that season without Suarez giving him space are justifiable questions over just how good Daniel is, but like I said he has earned the right to be believed in cause he was fantastic last year.

I do however believe that he isn't going to win us games week in week out, which is why we need another striker as good if not better than him for when he has an off day or gets injured (seems to pick up niggles quite a lot).

he can be top top class, but he is injured too much .

Plus he needs to get to that stratosphere "henry type" level which i think he is capable of. He kinda disappointed in some big games last season.

The best answer so far. The guy is an athlete. Probably the quickest player we have. Watch that goal again at Cardiff away I think it was. Suarez squared it across for him and he had run 60/70 yards to be there. His speed over 20 yards + is awesome. The injuries he gets are likely to recur because of his explosive speed. We can avoid this by subbing him off when his job is done.

If we were selling open bidding would start at £40m and would end up well over £50m at the moment.

A bit harsh to say he disappointed in some big games when Suarez himself failed to score in any of the games v the other teams in the top 4. I think on the injury side he did not play v City and Chelsea away. So again a little harsh to comment on the so called big games.
