      Fans go wild for Daniel Sturridge for ‘exposing’ pundits with incredible analysis of Brentford star

      by

      And he gave an interesting insight into The Bees’ forward line when they discussed how Thomas Frank’s side will line up without Ivan Toney – who is suspended until January.
      He said: “For Wissa, around the box he’s very, very good. His finishing is very, very good.
      “He’s a very different type of player. Ivan Toney’s hold-up play is paramount, that’s what he’s known for.
      “Also, Mbeumo. He is very dynamic, he’s very aggressive in attack, very skilful. Prone to making defenders do the stanky leg. I don’t know if you know what that is?”

      When Richards then asked what that is, Sturridge replied: “You know what it is. It’s putting your leg out and not being able to get the ball, basically. The stanky leg.
      “For me, he [Mbeumo] is going to be a big threat for them.
      “It’s vitally important for him to be the main man now and take that onus upon himself to say ‘I’m going to make things happen’ because when you lose a player like Toney, someone else has to step and take the load and I think Mbeumo needs to do that.”
      Viewers praised Sturridge’s detailed analysis and took to social media to applaud the ex-Manchester City, Chelsea and Liverpool man.

      One said: “Jesus. Daniel Sturridge’s expert analysis. This is what we are paying our fees for now.
      “Don’t get the obsession with trying to go viral, and the switch to get Love Island and Youtubers either. Roy Keane’s face says it all.”
      Another added: “This is why Daniel Sturridge is the best pundit to ever grace football.”
      A third replied: “Great pundit, you’ve finally brought in someone good.”
      And a fourth responded: “Daniel Sturridge is going to expose Micah Richards terrible punditry very quickly this season 😂.”
      Sturridge has not retired from football but has been without a club since leaving Perth Glory in June 2022. More

      ERLING HAALAND had a playful exchange with Sky Sports pundits Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher following Manchester City’s 3-0 win over Burnley on Friday.The 23-year-old striker scored twice as Pep Guardiola’s side climbed to the top of the Premier League table on the opening day of the new campaign.

      And he was in high spirits at full time when he took part in a post-match interview with Sky Sports.
      The panel were discussing Haaland’s second goal – whereby his strike rattled the crossbar before hitting the back of the net – when Carragher joked: “You are a great goalscorer, you’ll never be a pundit!”
      Laughing along, the striker responded: “Thank you for that mate. Appreciate that.”
      But just as the interview ended, fans were taken aback after Haaland slapped Neville on the chest.

      As the Man Utd icon laughed, Carragher said: “Oh! Ooo. Woah… Hang on!”
      Presenter Kelly Cates then added: “I think that was friendly!”
      One fan took to Twitter to question: “She thinks that was friendly?”
      Another added: “Show some respect man.”

      While a third joked: “Points deduction for that surely.”
      Haaland and Neville’s interaction appeared far from serious – unlike the striker’s half time altercation with Guardiola.
      The City boss slapped away a Sky Sports camera after shouting at the forward.
      He marched over to Haaland with arms outstretched and was clearly demanding more from the player – despite him bagging a brace in the first half.
      Much of what he said was inaudible but he was heard shouting “That was totally the opposite” before walking to slap the broadcast camera away.
      Haaland appeared to be completely nonplussed by what his manager was saying and did not reveal a response to Pep’s provocation on the pitch. More
