Former Chelsea and Liverpool’s striker Daniel Sturridge has slammed Chelsea player for his performance against Nottingham Forest.
The blues dropped points for the first time in six games as they drew 1-1 at home to Nottingham Forest.
After a dominant first half, the Blues fell behind shortly after the restart through Chris Wood’s instinctive close-range finish.
But Noni Madueke levelled with a fine strike into the corner to earn Chelsea a point, but Enzo Maresca will feel his side deserved to win.
Moreover, despite Noni Madueke’s goal to equalizer for Enzo Maresca’s team, Daniel Sturridge isn’t impressed with the Winger’s performance.
The England international had a point to prove today with players in his position putting in a strong case for more minutes, and he certainly did that as he looked the most inspiring member of the Chelsea attack.
Speaking about Noni Madueke, Daniel Sturridge said he needs to step up his game despite scoring today.
“He thought he has arrived, He needs to step up and do great things… Sturridge says in an interview with Footyvalid.
“He {Noni} would have scored more than 2 or assisted more today if he’s clinical enough… Daniel Sturridge addedÂ
Meanwhile, Madueke will now look forward to his second consecutive break with England, with new manager Lee Carsley seeming to be a big fan of his.
It can be expected that he will remain in the starting side for now at Stamford Bridge too, with some big fixtures coming Chelsea’s way when they return from the break in a couple of weeks’ time.
The Blues take on the likes of Liverpool, Manchester United and Newcastle in quick succession, which will be a big test of just how good they are under Maresca.
