hornipipe: you guys didn't give him enough game time, simple.

He scored a lot of goals for Bolton last season as well but flopped on the big stage with Chelsea.. There's nothing world-class about him. He's just another left-footed Darren Bent.

He clearly has the potential. Scored lots for Chelsea even though he wasn't played regularly and played off position. I guess you were one of those who wrote off Lukaku when he joined Chelsea. Potential is everything, it just takes the right coach and position to unlock it. Sturridge clearly has the potential.

shymexx:

Chelsea gave him everything but he just doesn't have what it takes at the top level... Hence why we replaced his arrogant ar.se with Victor Moses..

I dunno, I just never liked his style of play... He's another Darren Bent..

thegoodjoehunt:

Trophies are won to build History, just like what Chelsea did today. A Billionaire bought Nottingham Forrest because of their history. History matters and that signifies greatness. Like what SAF did for Man Utd.

CFCfan: Mikel is a solid DM!

thegoodjoehunt:

Moses is a winger and he is a point man. How can you say you gave him everything, when he wasn't a regular because of the 50 Million pound striker and Drogba.

shymexx:

Moses isn't a winger - he's a versatile player and he can play all the attacking positions. Moses played as a striker at Crystal Palace before Chelsea bought him and he adjusted his game to fit in.

We gave the sulking Sturridge the same opportunity but he flopped - good riddance.

Was Moses ever a Point Man. Sturride is a point man like Defoe and Suarez. Moses isn't that kind of player.

hornipipe: bent is overrated sturridge isn't.

You can't compare Lukaku to Sturridge - Lukaku was born to score goals!

thegoodjoehunt:

It is high time Mikel sorts himself out. He needs to bring more to his game and find a way to play in a more advanced role. I wonder whether he doesn't see that Pastore has a similar build and play to his game. Yet Pastore always gets involved, sprays passes and takes accurate shots.

Mikel should hit the training pitch and start working on his shooting.

thegoodjoehunt:
If it was using his time at Chelsea, you would have called him a flop. Most Chelsea fans called him a flop. With the way you are calling Sturridge a flop, I guess you also did.

Now he is shinning at West Brom, you are now saying born to score goals.

Watch Borini and Sturridge take Liverpool by storm next season. You guys don't know what you lost, we City fans know we lost a talent in Sturridge.

shymexx:

Yes, he was at Crystal Palace.

shymexx:

How can you call Lukaku a flop? - the guy is just 17/18, he still has a long career ahead of him... I've always believed in Lukaku and he's the natural replacement for Didier Drogba...

Borini and Sturridge = Darren Bent and Agbonlahor... They're taking Liverpool to the bottom of the league...

thegoodjoehunt:
I just checked Moses Wiki page, he has played mostly as a winger all his life. Sturridge is a point man and has played as a point man all his life. Just like Lukaku and Borini, Sturridge left because of no chance to play their normal role. It is not that he flopped.

Even Anelka couldn't get enough games at Chelsea.

Moses isn't a winger - he's a versatile player and he can play all the attacking positions. Moses played as a striker at Crystal Palace before Chelsea bought him and he adjusted his game to fit in.

thegoodjoehunt:
When Lukaku came to Chelsea, many didn't know what he was worth. Those who really believed in Lukaku were those who watched him play at Belgium or watched his debut against Ajax. I being one of them.

I didn't call him a flop. I said many of Chelsea fans I know called him a flop.

I used to convince them that he is a great player being played off position. All I would like to know, what convinced you that he was good. Did you watch him play at Belgium or any of his Europa Games?

His games at Chelsea were poor because he was playing off position.

jimcaddy: What do I expect Chelsea fans to say. Obviously wallowing in unexpected happiness. Remember when you all wanted Mr. Benitez out? Now u finished the season strong, you are excited about Mourinho..
I think Mourinho is the only coach made for Chelsea, as no other manager can manage Chelsea FC other than Jose. The same Benitez u all never wanted has brought home an European trophy. Let's see what Mourinho would deliver by spending millions again next season. Mourinho NEVER wins without spending.

Andre Uweh:
Did we give Sturridge a central position upfront?.

shymexx:

He played everywhere at Crystal Palace but mostly as a striker. There's nothing point man-ish in Sturridge's game - the guy is poor in-front of goal.

You mean the same Anelka that can't shoot the ball to save his life? Anelka's career ended when he left Arsenal, there's no point bringing him into the debate.

shymexx:

I saw some his games at Anderlecht before he joined Chelsea and I've never doubted his talents.

I honestly don't think Chelsea played him out of position, Villas Boas just didn't give him enough chance to shine. I doubt he has started any game for Chelsea...

thegoodjoehunt:
Please go and check again. Sturridge scored his first Hat trick in his career last week. That tells you he is growing. He is playing as a top striker along Suarez at Liverpool.

By the way do you think Chelsea signed Anelka because he couldn't shoot to save his life? Anelka rediscovered himself I think at Fernebahce and Chelsea came knocking. Remember at Chelsea, Anelka won the golden boot when Ancelotti gave him a run at Chelsea. A Chelsea fan like you should have known that.

It is all about playing the right position and giving the right opportunity. Look at Matic today at Benfica. He couldn't even get on the bench at Chelsea. Today, many teams in Europe want him.

shymexx:

Darren Bent and Agbonlahor have scored a few hat-tricks. However, that doesn't mean they aren't average players. Sturridge just don't have what it takes, if he did, he should be a regular with the Three Lions right now.

Anelka won the golden boot because he was able to get a lot of tap-ins and easy goals. However, that doesn't change the fact that he can't shoot to save his life. How many times did that guy pass the ball to the GK? Heck, the guy missed a penalty at the Champions League finals - that was how useless he was...

Matic couldn't get into the Chelsea team back then because we had Lampard and Essien playing the best games of their careers. There was no way we could have replaced either of them with Matic.
