Tam I honestly want him to do well and while I am resigned to him not being a threat against the top sides but what really disappoints me is even against the lesser sides he has looked so poor. He just hasn't got the space and freedom he had in Portugal and doesn't have any elite attribute about him.
Gurgen Sturridge makes some fair points but what worries me is he seems to get the very basics wrong. In the box his movement is way too slow and not with enough conviction.
Also in this league the physical supremacy he enjoyed in Portugal is gone, there he would brush defenders off with ease but this league is all about physical strength and he struggles to pin any defender down, infact gets outmuscled more often than not. I remember in the summer putting up a clip of him against a Dutch team and the CB he was up against physically dominated him and he had no answer to it.
