Daniel Sturridge- The Next Liverpool Superstar

Over the years Liverpool have had superstar strikers that come and go, whether it’s world class strikers such as Hunt, Rush, Fowler, Owen or Torres. Or ones that weren’t regarded as the best around the world always damaged defences when they wore the Liverbird on their shirt such as Baros, Aldridge, and Crouch. Whatever it is Liverpool always have that man upfront that will get goals no doubt about it.

So today Liverpool has Luis Suarez as their next superstar who has so far done a great job succeeding the goal machine that is Fernando Torres particularly last season where he scored a massive 30 goals for Liverpool. However since last season’s infamous incident with Chelsea’s Branislav Ivanovic he will miss the first six games of this season (Already missed two, four left). Because of this many pundits and fans have wondered what Liverpool will do without Suarez? Will they lose every game? Who will score? This was to be no problem at all because Liverpool also had Daniel Sturridge who was also scoring for fun ever since his move from Chelsea for £12m in January 2013.

Daniel Sturridge’s move was called a ‘gamble’ from Alex Ferguson and a blessing from some Chelsea fans but since then Sturridge can’t stop scoring and silenced all doubters in style. To sum it up in 18 games he has scored 13 goals and got 5 assists, whereas for Chelsea in 4 years he got only 24 goals. Daniel Sturridge has always been a top class player ever since his days at Manchester City, so good that Barcelona wanted him before he made his move to Chelsea. Due to the competition for positions Daniel Sturridge found it hard to earn a place in the squad but Liverpool have saved him by signing him and now he’s scoring left, right and centre and could become the next Liverpool star striker.

So far this season Liverpool have made a 100% record to their season winning 2 out of 2 in the league (Their best start since 08/09, season we came 2^nd) thanks to Daniel Sturridge’s winning goals. Liverpool are also looking like a classy outfit creating many chances hoping to increase on the 71 league goals from last season and most importantly finishing in the top 4. With a great start like this who knows where they can finish; What’s more is that Luis Suarez is yet to return! Next up though for Liverpool is a test against old rivals Manchester United, come Sunday I would like to see Liverpool maintain their 100% record by being on 9 points. Many strikers have punished Manchester United; Fowler, Owen, Torres it’s now Daniel Sturridge turn to do the same.
