Raheem Sterling - 2017/18 performances

[kaz7]

And what corner is that ? I've been consistent all season,some will say talking shit,and for that I commend you all,but problem is when he comes in for criticism you put the defence up,and you are kidding yourself,in fact why the fuck I'm responding to you is bizarre to start with,you being the seeker of truth and justice and all that,now let us carry on

You are entrenched and you are not backing down

[meeesh]

Don’t think anybody is saying he deserves the ballon d’or. He deserves praise from his own fans though, considering how good he’s been this season.

Mate,he didn't make team of the year,if he had finished a few more of his guilt edged chances he might have squeezed in it,but so many are making him out to be a far superior player than what he is,but others see otherwise,it's just opinions that's all

You amuse me camped out on the thread of a kid who is having an excellent season but not giving him any credit

Not camped out on it at all,the reaction you have is like I've made a personal verbal attack on a member of your family,so eventually you get personal,as always.

Entrenched you said,I think it is enlightened the word that you are meaning,anyway I'm off now,but yes no doubt it will be continued,got to keep you amused after all

So in summary, this season Sterling wins 12-6, Hazard can dribble better and has a wider passing range, but is less clinical with shots on target and does barely any defensive work, whilst Sterling puts a shift in, puts up with City refereeing, despite being much quicker is offside less often and when he hits the target tends to be very clinical.

I don't know why you lot are still trying to argue with him.

The moment the bellend said he couldn't stand Sterling because of the way he runs, it was the definitive proof needed that he's not interested in being fair, or judging the player as a player, for what he does for us on the pitch. He's dug a hole 2 seasons ago writing him off as all pace no brains, and now he'll find whatever inane excuse he can find to justify his shit opinion. Last season all he did was opine about how Pep was going to dump him ASAP and complain about the "Sterling defence gang" who'd do things like comment positively after the kid played a good game and not try to scapegoat him after a loss.

Just walk away. You aren't going to convince him. The kid could score 40 and he'd want 50, get 50 and he'd say a proper player would have scored 60 or not made that one mistake.

We have opinions. Whilst I respect yours, I do not necessarily have to agree with it.

Instead of continually asking folk to quantify their opinion, why don't you come up with one of your own for a change. Everything you post, is either a question, or you saying "we'll have to agree to disagree!" The amount of times you have come out with that is quite incredible and indicates a lack of clarity and thought on your behalf. You don't actually appear to offer much opinion, but feel the need to ask everyone for their take on things.

I get the impression Raheem (pretty much the only subject you make an effort at expressing an opinion on) isn't a favourite of yours and I feel you have laboured that point to death without adding anything to the debate due to being incapable - see the Claudio Bravo thread for repeat nonsense. Your faux praising of Raheem does not count; it feels pained and through gritted teeth.

By the way, could you please stop using - (em dash, maybe just use a comma or semicolon) in every thing you write. It's tiresome and unnecessary and you clearly do not understand its use.

All the best.

If there's anything I have said and you do not like it; then we shall just have to agree to disagree :)

Who said that. Who the fuck said that?

Ignore the Full Metal Jacket quote :)

*EDIT* I have witnessed who uttered such hilarity.

Can't believe a City supporter is really going to try and use this as a reason why he isn't good, pmsl. Someone let poor David Silva know he must have been awful every year before this.

Not to mention that miserable striker, Sergio Agüero!!

 

[mosssideblue]

Why are you talking about Hazard playing for City when asked about comparing the 2 this season.

Unless I've had a knock on the head, Hazard didn't play for us, and Sterling pretty clearly had a better season.

I think you must have taken a knock :)
I wasn't asked about comparing the two this season, I responded to a poster by saying I would have Hazard in a heartbeat
Anyway, this is the Sterling thread, lets not derail it further with discussing Hazard

My my you are a tetchy soul. There is an ignore facility, use it if you are not enamoured wit my posts or writing style.

I have offered both praise and criticism of Raheem (and others throughout the course of the season). In your opinion, the fact I have criticised Raheem negates any praise I offer him says a lot more about you.

As for the English Grammar lesson - grow up son, its a forum not an exam

Toodle pip Tetchy, hope no one else upsets you with poor use of their keyboard

You continue to watch the game on a lappy or tv if you have one,maybe 1 day you will see a live game,it may open your eyes a bit,instead of trying to be OPTA Joe by having a screen that keeps throwing up stats to try and justify your argument

As for calling me a bellend,carry on lad,insults don't hurt me,too thick skinned,but as many have said to me I'm spot on again,at least one of us is wrong,and I'm hedging my bets that it isn't me.

So you continue as someone told you the other week,to be supercilious on here,but be warned you are gonna end up being made to look a bigger bellend than what you are making me out to be,so do us all a favour and have a day or 2 off the crack,you will feel the benefit in the long run

 

[domalino]

Remember when you said we'd never get more than £25m for him and he was only good enough for Southampton or Everton?

Or when you told everyone you were certain he was going to be the biggest money flop at City since Steve Daley?

That was funny.

Can't quite remember saying those words,as there has been many who have had a few things to say over the season,not just me.

There is being defensive and being defensive over a player,you have really taken this player to your heart,fair enough,but don't tell me you have never hid behind a cushion at home,or dare I say even shouted fuck sake Sterling whilst watching the game on telly,with your bag of wotsits.

If you admit you have not,then that is funny,in fact will be the funniest thing I'll read on here all day to be honest,and also prove you are a liar,you decide

Just out of curiosity meeesh, is there any City player past or present that you haven't at some point uttered 'fuck sake' followed by their name?

 

[Nebuchadnezzar]

We can all look back at certain moments where he should have buried chances, but we can also look back and see where our points cushion would have been less if he hadn't popped up with the goods.
