Exactly.
im really not sure where he'd be best placed, i often thought he was wasted on the wing for chelsea, i think suarez's position is almost irrelevant when we're in attack because he'll run around everywhere either way, but as somebody pointed out it would be a bit shit with him having to track back when we're in defence
Rodgers has mentioned a couple of times that he sees Suarez as a creative forward, he tried it a couple of times with him playing off Sterling, so maybe we're all forgetting that option too, I'm not sure what sort of an impact that would have on the midfield and Suarez himself, but he thrives on playing infront of the defense and harassing players and chasing everything down. With Sterling and Sturridge tucking inside when Suarez comes deep, it could be a useful option, providing it doesn't take the edge of Luis' own current prolific form.
This is the truth. How many times does Suarez pick up the ball on the right flank or deep? Loads. When this happens Sturridge can be making runs centrally, or wherever. If he happens to be there when the ball is lost and on his flank, then he tracks back- as he has to do now. Will he be doing it all game? No. Because he won't be in that position all game.
Now that we have another striker, it's inevitable that Suarez will score less, the aim is that we score more though. So what ever it takes to make that happen is fine by me.
I watched yesterday thinking the same thing, and that Sturridge would have been rubbing his hands together ala Micky Owen v Newcastle seeing the opportunities and space Suarez was creating for Sterling.
I'm really worried about exactly where Sturridge is going to stand at corners and free kicks. We already have a striker to stand close to the opposition goal line.
Effectively, Borini, Downing and Sterling will be competing for a starting berth. Unless Downing plays LB.
I have a feeling we are going to enjoy watching Sturridge. He will link well with Suarez obv. Also we can drool all over our internet streams if he pulls off a stepover or beats someone for pace. Im a sucker for that anyway.
We let Crouch get away with the embarrassing robot celebration in the past but I take it we won't be tolerating Danny doing his dance routine?

I can't remember his goal celebration. I can barely remember anything about Borini other than that he fluffed loads of chances.
I see Sturridge starting on the right and coming inside onto his left foot. But as doc says, the positions should be interchangeable. Suarez, Sturridge, and Sterling could operate anywhere in that front three.
Yeah, exactly. Sturridge comes in for Downing in the present attack basically. It is potentially pretty tasty.
Now, if only we can get that midfield working on a consistent basis, we might not have a bad side.
During last night's game on the US Espn feed Macca was speculating as to whether Sturridge might be suited to play just off of Suarez in a front two.
That's not BR's style though.
It'd be fucking weird to play Sturridge behind Suarez. It should be just him and Suarez swapping positions and roles continually.
That's what I thought as well, I think Macca was pretty much just thinking out loud.
No. Don't swap Suarez. Ever.
Suarez is constantly running across the backline and dropping deep anyway, with Sturridge in there too it just means we'll have someone eager to fill gaps that Suarez leaves when he goes around harassing the opposition.
Post Of The Year.
Let's hope it's shooting practice.
