Daniel Sturridge performance has also brought the attention of England former defender, Rio Ferdinand who said: "The penny has dropped with Daniel now. He expected to start every game after what he did with Luis Suarez, but injuries have robbed him of some of his best years, and now he realizes he's in a squad on the edge of winning something. If he can come off [the bench] and impact games like he has today, he'll feel a real part of this squad."
