🚨🔵 Danniel Sturridge on Mike Penders’ error: “It’s a monumental mistake, but that’s the life of a goalkeeper. You’re in the spotlight. If you make a mistake, it leads to a goal, and that’s what happened today, unfortunately for him.” “But he has to rebuild again. He knows he’s going to be back in between the sticks, so it’s important for him… sleep on this; it probably replays in his mind over and over again, thinking, ‘What have I done?’ And you’re absolutely lower than a snake’s belly.” “But you’ve got to push on, bro. It’s happened; the game is over; tomorrow is a new day. You’ll watch it back on video; you’ll go with your goalkeeper coaches; you’ll discuss everything: how do we improve?” (@SkySports) #CFC
