This article has already been kindly shared by our prevoius poster, I read the whole article and wow its exactly what I was thinking all this time.
Many of you are very quick to rubbish the article , how many of you have actually read the whole article.
It has brought about an interesting debate on that website , where chelsea posters actually have a seroius debate , were as on here we have these fancy named posters who just quickly put things aside.
Now lets not get it twisted , Sturridge is a fantastic player and has scored many important goals , Sturridge doesn't have a shoot-first mentality, he seems to have a shoot-only mentality. While I like the energy he brings and his ability to beat defenders, his lack of teamwork is evident in every match. No striker in the league is as selfish, no matter how skilled. Whenever I watch him, I feel the guys only out to prove himself.
If you disagree then thats okay , we all have our opinions but this rating system degrades this website , if your quick to rate why not share why

"Poor. If you don't shoot. You don't score. Sturridge is our top scorer. End of."
Yes you should shoot to score however , selfishness is a big problem with sturridge , hes looking to shoot all the time instead of creating.

its funny how in the space of a year and half, we've gone from having a free scoring lampard, malouda,anelka, kalou & drogba to just one striker capable of getting the ball in the back of the net.

i am not saying that some of the points are rubbish, because some of them are accurate.
However what has been rubbished is the way the article is written.
if it was in the context of "is sturridge wasted on the wing?" or "sturridge still improving!" we could have a debate on it but it is in the context of "sturridge is the cause of chelsea's problems"
this is again a very negative article when the points behind it are refering to him wasting shots when he COULD pass the ball instead.
this is a fair point but what is not a fair point is to blame him for all that is wrong.
we could understand if it was in the same context but about a few players i.e malouda, kalou, mikel, and a lack of squad depth.
Sadly it is not, it is refering to our top goal scorer and 3rd top assist which is complete and utter botox IMO.

Why is there so much Sturridge bashing today? Based on one very poorly written article? TBH it's stupid and his 'selfishness' and 'greed' for me is overhyped. When Lampard or Meireles shoot and miss not much is said but when its Sturridge because he's a confident player he's a big headed arrogant player who only plays for himself. We are probably the only club with fans who criticise one of their best players so much.

Haha thanks for quoting me. I'm honoured. The title of the article is "IS DANIEL STURRIDGE THE CAUSE OF CHELSEA'S WOES", regardless of what the article says the title already carries a negative connotation.
Daniel Sturridge has been converted from a striker to a winger. He is 22. He is our top scorer. He has 7 assists and has had the most shots at goal. It's not so much of his decision making as it is him just being greedy. And you know what, if he wasn't that greedy we would have hardly scored at all this season!
He has scored more goals than our other strikers put together. And made more assists. Looks like he's doing pretty well to me. And all at 22.
Lampard has been shocking. Torres has been shocking. Kalou and Malouda have been shocking. Bosingwa is just dire. And here we are entertaining a carp article trying to undermine one of our key players of this season.
Give the lad a break.
