Sturridge: Liverpool are more than just SAS

Liverpool striker Daniel Sturridge says that their superb start to the season is more than just his budding partnership with fellow forward Luis Suarez.

The duo have been the major talking point of the season after scoring 14 of Liverpool’s 17 goals so far, but Sturridge insists that there are many reasons why the Reds are doing so well.

“It’s been an amazing start for us. It’s great to play with Luis. We give defenders problems and we’re both different. It’s good to have a strike partner you can bounce off,” Sturridge told Liverpool’s Official Website.

“We get on well and that’s the most important thing. There is no rivalry there, no hidden agendas. We both go out and work hard to help the team. It’s not about the SAS strike-force, it’s about the team.

“The players behind us work so hard, they make our jobs easy really. We just try to do what we do best.”

Sturridge has been in sensational form this season, with eight goals in ten games coming courtesy of a 25% conversion rate.
