Sturridge to start Midweek

Just hear that the assist for Cahill goal was given to Hazard 2 assists

"We have a key match against United during the weekend, what are the chances of Sturridge getting a start against Shakhtar midweek."

He'll start in the Carling cup match.

Not just Sturridge/Torres - would like to see Azpi start, Ivan was poor today

Would be great to see Sturridge start. Sorry to say this, but he is being wasted as a Chelsea player; it doesn't seem to matter how well Sturridge plays as sub, or how poorly Torres is doing - Torres' price tag, combined with our 4-2-3-1 formation, is going to keep Sturridge out of a starting CF spot. It seems that the only way Sturridge is getting into the team as CF is if Torres is totally exhausted or injured.

Sturridge is good on the wing, but it isn't his natural position, and he's probably not going to displace Mata, Hazard, from those spots, unless, again, these players are exhausted or injured (even then, Moses, Marin, or Oscar may be preferred). Even Ramires seems to be favored to Sturridge on the wing, which is something I can't figure out.

Makes sense to play Sturridge, he got a goal today and needs match practice. Torres could do with a rest with a big game coming up. I don't think Danny would make 90 minutes yet though.
