Maybe we could get 90% of Anfield to do this if he scores Sunday.........

In all seriousness, if we can keep this guy fit, he's going to have a stunning season. If we hang on to Suarez too we will actually have two strikers from the top drawer for the first time since Owen and Fowler.
 
And I'd do the dance. It is meant to be a bit silly and self-deprecating. He has a look on his face after he does it like 'I know this is daft but fuck it'. It's like 'the robot' with Crouch.

Imagine we're walloping them 3-0, the mancs are dejected and Sturridge caps it with a thunderous strike to turn defeat into humiliation.... cue the fucking dance!
 
Ah, but this a manager who strives for possession football.

As good as both players are, holding the ball up & keeping possession are secondary to trying to score. If you have Sturridge scoring one in four (being positive) chances, & suarez scoring one in seven (based on last season) then they'll give the ball away a helluva lot in the process of trying to score.

I'm not sure he'll take that loss of possession calculation twice in one team.

I hope I'm wrong, of course.

Worry not, you're wrong.

To respond slightly more fully, I think the penny dropped with BR last season that the possession at all costs wasn't necessarily productive. From just before Christmas we began seeing us mixing up play with some direct football as well as the pass-pass-pass backing track. I also think that BR, like most managers, develops a loyalty to players who produce for him. He will know that he can't afford to count on Suarez and centre all our play around him. I think Sturridge will play CF and Suarez will playin one of the three positions around him.
 
Why not? It's the perfect birthday present. He scores the winning goal, we all celebrate with the dance. Fair price to pay for a little loss of dignity.
 
I never piss during the game, only at half time, people know that.

How do people know that? Do you get the stadium announcer to inform the crowd?

Is Operation Anfield an exercise to prepare the Stadium for your toilet break?
 
Like any dance, I'm prepared to fully commit, but I'll no doubt look like I'm having a brain hemorrhage whilst on rollerskaters.
