Sturridge made the difference with a bit of quality though. a 0-0 turned into a 1-0. again, like last season, we're vulnerable to shooting ourselves in the foot with iffy defending. thank Christ for Mignolet. i can't be too critical though. 3 points on the first day is all that matters. i'd like to see us be more clinical though. although, we might be able to be in future, as we only have to face Begovic one more time this season. fúcking hell, that man can fúck off.

I'm not a big believer in coincidence and the fact that we keep creating these heroic performances from opposition keepers. Its become too much of a theme. Not sure how much of sturridges goal was 'quality'. I thought it lacked power and accuracy I reckon if it wasn't for begovic slip it would've been another save. Having said that, that's at least twice I've seen him score exactly like that so maybe there's something in the shot I'm not seeing.

gafferino wrote: » Penalties are only saveable if you dive the right way. As someone said earlier Mignolet goes the other way and its a 'great peno'. For me 99% of penalty saves are great saves with dollops of luck thrown in. He did very well to save it and even better again with the follow up. Delighted for him as he looked a bit nervous a couple of times earlier in the match. Sometimes you just need things to go your way a bit. Its all about confidence.
SlickRic wrote: » the key to a lot of Sturridge's shots is that he has so little backlift, meaning it gets hit earlier than a keeper might expect. even if it's not an absolute rocket, it can catch a keeper on the hop. we must remember also, on Saturday, it did got through Huth's legs, so Begovic was more than likely unsighted.

He'll have played in just about every game he was available for selection. I imagine the games he didn't feature in included the easy EL games last year, and the dead rubbers at the end of last season. In the tough games which ye lost, he was typically playing. But there haven't been a lot of those style of games where he didn't play. That alone utterly devalues the statement which is supposedly 'backed up by the stats.' The sample sizes would have to be equal for that stat to even remotely have use. I remember a similar one about Modric a few seasons back.
