Great assist.

Shame about the rest of his game.

He was better than he had been previously this season for the first 20 minutes last night. Being on the right helps with that, but was just as bobbins as ever after a decent start.

That attacking chance in the second half on the left sums him up over the last year and more. The hesitation hesitation hesitation and losing the opportunity to cross, and then the bobbins dive at the end of it, is simply nowhere near good enough.

Wonder what we would get for him

The dive was a disgrace,had it been an opposition usual suspect we wouldnt have heard the end of it,as he's one of our own most are pretending it didnt happen.

Anyway,that disappointing side of his game apart.....he realy does need to start controlling games more,instead of being content to pass that baton to others.

Do you mean putting sterling on market? I have no problem giving up sterling if we were a club that actually spends money on established high class players (which we are not).

And where would he go?

Yeah, if we put him up for sale in the summer, what would be a reasonable valuation

 

[mosssideblue]

And where would he go?

That to an extent, would be his call if we received offers

80 M for me but he aren't going anywhere. Pep likes him too much. We will never find his replacement immediately. I think a lot of German and Spanish clubs would line up for him.

Who though? which clubs would be able to afford the fee and the wages? and who would deem that financial outlay,in terms of what he offers on the pitch, as good business?

Valid points which is why I mused how much is he worth if we wanted to sell

PLAY HIM ON THE RIGHT WING! Simple!
His game is completely different, many times he’s frustrating, but his pace is his main weapon. His finishing at times is comedy, but he’s in the right place.

Yeah started on the right and he got behind them twice with the chip over there defence once we scored from that move pep moved him to the left! I would love to know why Pep did that.

I'd love to see him play regularly on the right but I would think Pep did it because with a centre back left back and a slow one footed player on the left we were getting absolutely nothing down that side. He probably thought Cancelo could provide width down that side and Sterling would at least give us a bit of threat in behind down the left. I agree though his threat diminished down the left as he went back to how he's been for ages down there. His movement is excellent but little else is.

Becoming one of the most tiresome threads on here.

Raheem looks shattered. Today he had three great chances to run into the box at pace but chose to pass the ball sideways. He needs a break from football. This crazy season is killing our players. Some of them will never recover. I wonder how many games he has played in the last three seasons for City and England. He and Bernardo have been driven into the ground with KDB not far behind. It is painful to watch.

If only we were allowed substitutes when we’re winning and said players are blowing out of their arses.

Agreed,hopefully he'll quickly improve so as we can inject some positivity.

 

[Callum Ramsey]

I wonder why pep trusts him. As 'bobbins' as he's been this season the team would be closer to arsenal than to liverpool at the top without him.

 

[kaz7]

The hate from the usual pair is strong again

Honestly I thought he was lucky that Gundogan made such an intelligent movement while he was being indecisive.

I don't know what has happened to his game, seems to want 10 seconds longer to do every single thing than he actually has.

Id love to see Jesus on the left, Aguero in the middle and Torres on the right.
