Sturridge is incredibly frustrating. The team look much more settled and much more like they know what he's doing when he's there. He just lifts the team being there. If Rodgers and/or the transfer committe were smart, then they'd have gone all in AS SOON AS SUAREZ LEFT, to find a mobile, reliable, healthy striker. I just don't get why this is so mysterious or difficult.
It was Villa, but I like Coutinho-Firmini-Sturridge up front. Now our problem looking out into the future is that there is no reason why Spurs won't improve given their manager and age; and Leicester may make an astute signing or three. And at some point Chelsea will be half decent. And Mourinho's going to go to the swamp.
That we failed to push on post-Suarez and qualify for the Champions League when we had an opening to is just staggering incompetence.
