gharperr Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 (edited) I dont think its that outrageous to say 25 goals for him. Things have to go super his way in terms of injuries and brent not dicking about changing everything every 10 mins...but it could happen. He'll probably get injured for a month or two though Edited August 5, 2015 by gharperr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Platt Posted August 5, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted August 5, 2015 He won't be taking pens either so that's a few less on his total. I would say 18 goals needs a good start otherwise the knives will be out. If it goes horribly wrong he can always come back to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vive_La_Villa Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 We all know he will bang in 20+ goals if stays fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Platt Posted August 6, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted August 6, 2015 Henderson on pen duty I believe followed by Coutinho. Would they let some upstart from a struggling club take over duties!? Milner will be ahead of him too of the new boys. He took a mean pen when he was with us. Personally I want Tekkers to take them because he is in my dreamteam!

Keyblade Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 I mean, he scored 19 for us in his debut season being fed (using this loosely) by the likes of Weimann, Gabby, Holman, Ireland and N'Zogbia so it's really not that big of a stretch to say he'll score 25 for Liverpool.

ThunderPower_14 Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 If he stays fit and in form he'll absolutely piss in 20 goals this season. He managed 19 in his first season with us, remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 I don't think him staying fit is necessarily going to determine how much he plays though, Sturridge staying injured will have a say in it too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 I personally doubt Sturridge will play much, I think his head's gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gharperr Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 (edited) I personally doubt Sturridge will play much, I think his head's gone. dafuq. theres nothing to suggest his "head as gone". he was 1 of the most influential players in the prem last time he played regularly. Once get back to full fitness, he will start. Probably with 2 upfront with benteke. Although the pressing style doesnt work as well when benteke plays but it still will be effective . edit, think i misread: i actually think you might be referring to apparently he didnt want to play incase he got injured. Not sure how true all that is and im sure they will make it so his head is in the right place Edited August 6, 2015 by gharperr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 To be fair much like us with benteke if Sturridge was somewhere near fit last season they had to play him and he just got injured again, having benteke might give him a chance to get fully fit before being brought back But at the moment it doesn't look good for him, going to have played 90 minutes 3/4 times in 18 months Off the season he'd had and having become a starter for England, if his head hasn't gone then fair play to him, I bet that's soul destroying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penguin Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 (edited) Who can say how he'll fit in with another team. Don't see it as a given myself that he'll be a huge success, depends how much their play is tweaked to maximise him. For instance, I remember reading they played the least amount of crosses in the league last season, obviously if this continues then that's arguably his main weapon going under utilised. Isn't as simple as saying that because he's moved to a better team he'll score more goals, teams play with more of a defensive emphasis against teams like Liverpool and it all depends how he adapts IMO. Personally I hope he struggles; I hate Liverpool with a passion and I'll want to put myself through the window having to listen to the resulting media and Pool fan wankfest of how Liverpool made him and that he's the best player in the world if he has a storming season. That said I have put him in my fantasy team for a silver lining if he does bang them in left, right and centre as there is certainly a chance he will do.
