Liverpool striker Sturridge: Reaching 100 goals wasn\'t my target

Published on: 31 October 2017

Liverpool striker Daniel Sturridge has again stated he isn't bothered about reaching the 100 goals mark.

Sturridge hit the barrier against Huddersfield on Saturday.

“I'm not someone who looks at individual stuff like that," he told the Liverpool Echo.

“I wasn't thinking 'Can I get my 100 goal?', it was more a case of 'I'm playing so I need to perform as well as I possibly can.'

“As the game went on I was out there thinking 'This team are really difficult to break down.' There wasn't much space, they were defending so deep.

“Everyone could feel the pressure mounting. As a striker it's important to get yourself in the right positions and to take the opportunities when they come along.

“After getting the breakthrough it was a case of 'Okay, let's try to pile on the pressure.'

“Saturday was a big game for us after the heavy defeat to Tottenham. We all wanted to bounce back. We kept our concentration and in the end we imposed our style on them."

Sturridge added: "You want to help the team win. All strikers have that mentality where they want to show what they can do. I enjoy scoring goals. It's what I love to do.

“Saturday was a good day for us but we've got two more big games to go before the international break and it's vital we keep it going."
