Yep. You just have to compare the Sane thread to this one and you get the feeling that some people just wants to slate Sterling. Sane was just as bad as Sterling yesterday but despite Sterling having the better season of the two he's suddenly compared to Zaha and Sane getting excuses. Btw thre's nothing wrong with excusing Sane for his performance yesterday as he's so young and it was arguably one of the biggest games he's played in but Sterling is only one year older and I think people tend to forget about that or just ignore it.He's been neck and neck with Silva for Player of the Season and after 1 game, people are comparing him with Zaha.
Incredible.
Not that he doesn't frustrate me, but so does Sane. Then i remember how young they both are.

How does any of that affect Sane being a lazy bastard for 75 minutes yesterday?Not fair to compare the 2 though really is it ? Apart from ages and both international footballers aside,one has come to this country to learn his trade in a new enviroment,was held back before eventually being let loose,and all have been excited,the other came with a reputation, a big price tag,and was gonna be a massive boost for us,as we all saw that potential when he wore a red shirt,do you need a hand in deciding which one I'm describing first then second ?
Sorry but thats just pure bullshit. Sane was held back because he was shit in his first months. And Sane also came with a reputation of being one of the best young players in the world and just as Sterling with a huge price tag. If you look at the season as a whole Sterling has outperformed Sane imo and even if you just look at 2017 there hasnt been much between them I think.Not fair to compare the 2 though really is it ?

I agree that he hasnt been at his best this last month but he still had a great game against Hull two weeks ago but was still on the bench against Saints the week after which seems strange. And it is a possiblity that he has a small injury because his movement hasn't been as good as it used to lately and apart from the Hull games he seems afraid at running against their defenders.It's only pure bullshit to you mate as you are a "Raheem protector",that is fine,each see a game and players abilities differently,to me the truth has been seen a lot more in recent games,with Sterling,quite rightly,dropped,and that is the truth,no doubt some will say he's had a knock,and not fully fit,now that is pure bullshit imo,if not fit he wouldn't be on the bench,he's gonna be the biggest money flop since Steve Daley at our club,mark my words
