Suarez, Henderson and Gerrard again told him to buck up and again he was selfish. It needs to stop.
Had a fabulous game with some superb skill, movement and one or two moments of pure quality, yet his stupid me, me, me attitude ruins his decision making and ruins the impact he could have on games. If he had half of Suarez team work abilities and mental quality, he'd be a hell of a player.
Oddly I am sure he wasn't this selfish earlier in the season. I wonder whether the goal gap, between himself and Suarez, when he returned has driven his competitive instinct into overdrive - so much so that he has lost part of that team ethic to his game.
That said I still think he has lots of development potential. Suarez was extremely selfish when he first arrived here, over the course of his time here he has also developed, he is now far more of a team player than he was when he first arrived. Sturridge needs to make that same team player transformation if he wants to continue developing at the rate he is going at.
This selfish thing is rubbish, all top strikers to a degree are selfish, if the likes of rush and hunt had a sight at goal they shot. Anyway, Danny has got the same number of assists as the likes of Hazard and Mata so it's hardly like he doesn't pass to his team mates at all.
Any other fan base could only dream of having a striker posting the type of record breaking numbers Danny currently is but we have pseudo intellectuals waffling on about him not passing the ball when he's slamming goals in left right and center.
You couldn't make it up honestly.
