DEPENDABLE DANIEL Daniel Sturridge is only 23-years-old but has already belonged to three of the biggest football clubs in England, Manchester City, Chelsea and Liverpool. Vegas Golden Knights Jerseys . With over 100 Premier League appearances to his name, that is a startling fact for someone so young. Five-and-a-half years since his senior debut, the Englishman, only now, has found a quality all top players seek from their clubs, dependability. At Manchester City, young Sturridge saw a club transform themselves and suddenly players from around the globe wanted to go there. The more he watched players come through the front door, the more he knew he had to leave out the back one. At age 19 he was surrounded by people telling him he would be a star and the moment fellow rich club Chelsea came calling, he left. It proved to be a sideways step and he was never going to be given the amount of time in the team an inexperienced professional needed to excel. A brief loan spell at Bolton showcased his scoring abilities in the Premier League, but a return to Chelsea soon after simply showcased his ability to wear a tracksuit next to whichever manager the Blues had that year. By January, under his fourth manager in as many years, Rafa Benitez, Sturridge was ready to move on and Liverpool, desperate to add some depth scoring to a squad heavily reliant on Luis Suarez, stepped in with a £12 million offer. At the time the bid was seen as expensive by many, but Liverpool were thrilled to get a player of Sturridges quality for such a price. You will recall they spent over £70 million on Englishmen Andy Carroll, Stewart Downing and Jordan Henderson, before Brendan Rodgers came to the club. His first appearance for his new club came at Old Trafford from the bench. Liverpool were down 2-0 at the half after a timid tactical approach, but Rodgers brought the forward on at half-time and within 12 minutes he had scored. Liverpool lost 2-1 but a message had been sent to Rodgers, Sturridge had clearly brought a great deal to their attack that had been missing in the opening half.

The Uruguayan is a sensational centre forward but is not always easy to play with because of his all-around movement but Sturridges game fitted in well with the clubs talisman. Rodgers decided to play Suarez a little deeper but, with the flexible Sturridge playing in front of him, had a centre-forward who wouldnt get in his way and had a desire to show tremendous workrate with his movement. Inside a 4-2-3-1, the pair worked very well, helped by the intelligent Philippe Coutinho, who was able to play wide but also had the brain to move inside and make up the numbers in midfield when the team didnt have the ball, a trait that the often maligned Henderson also has. The signing of Sturridge in January, along with Coutinho, was exactly what Rodgers needed in transitioning from the old direct style under former manager Kenny Dalglish, where wingers were told to get as many crosses in as possible, to a much more technical and cohesive attack based around movement and the key ability to find space. All of this was on show after Suarez missed the last four matches through suspension as Liverpool dismantled Newcastle 6-0 and Fulham 3-1, both away from home, with Sturridge claiming five goals in the two games.

The game ended 1-0, after Sturridge became the leagues first goal scorer of the new campaign, but the home side created a number of goal scoring opportunities thanks to Sturridges ability to come deep and get other players involved around him. This causes opponents problems as either central defenders come out of their comfort zone and track Sturridge, leaving space in behind, or defensive midfielders come deeper and eventually ensure the team is far too deep to create much of an attacking threat. Both these things happened to Stoke and it was not a surprise to see the two players Sturridge passed most to against Stoke were the two central midfielders whose ball retention allows the forward to run into space following the layoff and/or vision can mean a pass is played in to a crucial area created by Sturridges movement.

In the buildup he moved over to the left wing with Coutinho going central, before gliding inside with the ball and laying it off to Jose Enrique. At that point, Sturridge went on an excellent run centrally and, because he couldnt be tracked, was in a perfect position, following a great dummy by Coutinho, to receive the ball in the box. He then showed tremendous ball control, dancing around the defenders before looping the ball over Brad Guzan in the Villa goal. It was an outstanding goal helped by team-mates who didnt touch the ball and one that rightfully got his manager off his seat to applaud.Rodgers was full of praise this week for his young English striker and didnt stop short at a bold prediction: "I think he can be one of the top scorers in the league this year." The season is still very young but it is pretty clear Liverpool will not be labeled a one man team when Suarez returns and the Uruguayans return could do a lot more for the continued development of Sturridge.

The Colts said in a statement Wednesday they were aware of the situation but were still gathering facts. According to court documents, prosecutors in Marion County (Indiana) charged McNary with rape and criminal confinement, both felonies, and battery resulting in bodily injury, a misdemeanor. The documents were posted online by Deadspin.com. According to an affidavit for probable cause, police were called in the early morning hours of Dec. 1 in reference to a rape report and were told by a 29- year-old woman that she had been attacked by an unknown male about an hour earlier at an unknown location. She told police she arrived at an unknown apartment after a night out with co- workers at a downtown bar and had a physical fight with a male, during which she said she believed she scratched his neck, face, back and shoulder. After the altercation she says she was forced to have sex. When the man went into the bathroom, she left the apartment, stealing his cell phone. The woman told police she didnt remember her alleged attackers name. Using a warrant, police searched the phone and found an entry that indicated it belonged to McNary. When detectives arrived at an apartment to execute a search warrant, they found a set of white bedding in front of a combination washer/dryer machine. Jake Bischoff Jersey. McNary pointed to the bedding and said, I preserved it for you because I knew you would be coming, according to the affidavit. McNary pointed to items of clothing on a couch and said, Thats her stuff right there, according to the affidavit. He was questioned by police and requested an attorney. He later underwent a suspect sexual assault examination at a hospital, during which a detective observed reddened abrasions and scratches on McNarys neck, abdomen, shoulder and back. We are aware that there has been a report about Josh McNary, but unfortunately thats the limit of our knowledge, the Colts said in a statement released to media outlets. At this time we are very concerned and trying to find out what the relevant facts are, but we have insufficient information to venture any opinion. As we learn more we will make appropriate updates. McNary graduated as Armys all-time career leader in sacks and tackles for a loss and served in the Army before he was signed by the Colts as a free agent in April 2013. He has recorded 42 tackles in 20 NFL games, including 28 this past season when he started four games. The Colts will face the New England Patriots on the road Sunday in the AFC Championship Game.
