Sterling isn’t playing well. He didn’t play well against Brighton and was poor at Norwich and yesterday. He was rotated last week and Bernardo scored a hat trick in that position and he did a lot more than just wing play in his general game than Sterling does on the left.

But I think with the lack of movement to create space for the winger from Zinchenko, that’s the main reason why Sterling isn’t playing well. But Sané can create space for himself. Sterling does this really well on the right but he’s a bit predictable always cutting inside on the left. Sané would get games on the left for us at the moment as Bernardo can play in the middle as well like he did at Preston when Garcia came on.

Remember, Leroy had the best minutes to goals/assists in our squad last season.

Angelino looks like he likes to get past the man in front of him as an overlap and we all know what Mendy can do. Zinchenko seems to want to come inside and play his next pass into midfield when he gets the ball, so little chance of him being a foil to create space for Sterling.

Sterling isn’t playing well at the moment, thought he did alright yesterday compared to previous weeks. He’s been super consistent for the last two years so it would be inevitable that we might see a drop off at some point.

Really hope Leroy stays, Bayern are still stuck in the hangover of Pep leaving. From a playing side of things I don’t get why he would want to go there apart from being number one on the team sheet. Bundesliga is not as prestigious as the premier league and I can’t see them winning the champions league any time soon. He can live in Germany for as long as he like once his careers over surely his priorities should be how many trophies he can win.

Unlikely. When pep spoke about Cugat it was like he was his best friend, they've obviously built up a lot of trust over the 20 odd years hes been using him.

He's also got a worldwide reputation as one of the leading specialists in knee surgeries, used by half the footballing world, so it's not a blind loyalty.

It's great that Leroy is ahead of schedule but unlikely that Cugat would have gotten worse results.

The talk all summer was he only had 2 years left so 2021 sounds right. Been thinking though if fit how many minutes do we think he would have played so far this season, and at whose expense?

That's why I don't think he is staying. I really don't think he can get in the team at present. Mahrez and Berny are technically far superior. And Sterling has a more complete game.

Sane has a unique skill set. But he is the least complete of all 4.
 
problem is, he's going to be better than at least 3 of them...

We let him go, we'll regret it but i just dont see him having the best relationship with Pep and he's obv not willing to warm the bench and wait his turn.

I agree. I would not have done in the Summer, but Mahrez has gone up another level.

Sane would be a fantastic impact sub to have and occasional starter but that's unlikely to be enough for him.
 
To be honest I think over the season or at least until he is fit we will miss him more than many on here think.
He gives us something completely different, he can score but so can others but his assists when he gets in behind the defence and his low cross/pull back from near the touch line causes packed defences nightmares. Sterling also gets a hell of a lot of his goals being on the end of his cross’es.

Yep
From the left he can be very direct, but doesn’t do it all the time all the game, he mixes it up a bit, retains the ball and passes it, cuts inside, then suddenly goes past his man and pulls it across the box, the defender can settle as he never knows when it’s coming
 
We get him back when we get him back. The forwards are operating ok at the moment and by 4 weeks time hoping Mendy makes this absence even less of an issue.
The main issue again is Leroy is stalling on the new contract. He's the ONLY player in the squad with this question mark now Gundogan extended. Give him till Jan 31st and then sell in the summer AFTER the Euros for maximum fee.

Probably not. More likely they’ll all be coming out from their side lying like this from now on, airbrushing all the talking they did in the Summer from memory.

Typical Cartel club.
