#7 | Raheem Sterling - 2020/21 Performances

[Mike N]

I laughed out loud when he swung and missed near the end. Then the awful caption came up with his record against United. Not really a laughing matter.

Nobody is giving us £100m for him.

On thst display you can take a nought off ! The absolute pinnacle of yet another dog shit perform ance was when Gundogan overlapped him and he overshot a simple pass for a goal kick. Got to go in summer.

I must admit I also laugh when he gets the ball because you know he’s going to fuck it up

I’m genuinely worried that if he has a shit Euros his value is going to plummet. To think Real reportedly would have given us £120m last summer.

We need to find a replacement with the same work ethic, and ability off the ball, before we think about getting shut though.

We can’t afford to go for another Mahrez. All the skill but not the attitude.

This is just so true.

I've never known a player at City that gets slagged off as much as him after a poor game. Perhaps the two are related.

Well when you’re supposed to be world class, maybe more is expected of you?

Id trade some of that off for clinical finishing ability.

The one thing you can say about Sterling is at least he is getting in those positions consistently and if he misses then he misses but Sane could be one mad arse fucker and if he had a bad game you really knew it. Sterling could have got a 2-2 draw today whilst still being shite.

Most bad pilots still get to the end of the runway.

Compared to what?
Application of a well paid athlete but no ball skill whatsoever

 

[Kippax77]

Sterling is currently stealing a living and is, in no way, putting in the performances that are needed to be a starter in this team.

Currently, Foden, Bernardo, Jesus and Torres should all be ahead of him as a left winger.

It’s time to play Sergio as CF and give Jesus a run out on the left, IF Pep feels Jesus deserves a place.

For me, Weds should look like:
Ederson
Walker Stones Dias Laporte
Bernardo Fernandinho Foden
Mahrez Aguero Torres

I like this post

 

[BlueMoonz1977]

Still frustrates & unfortunately he is too old to change that side of his game

I honestly believe come next season with one of 2 things happen

Raz steps up like in the back to back seasons or we will witness a fully settled Torres to start shining and take his place

The latter me thinks

 

[DAGW]

Id trade some of that off for clinical finishing ability.

Imagine giving Sterling Mahrez’ touch and ability, or giving Mahrez Sterling’s movement and work ethic. Frightening prospect.

Sterling needs a clean strike, composure and confidence in that order. Not sure you can learn that at his age. Think you have to be born with it.

Leroy, why Leroy? Just why?

 

[GaudinoMotors]

When they play badly, he andJesus are like Charlie Chaplin and Harold Lloyd.

 

[Trojan1962]

The latter me thinks

Pep won’t drop him he thinks he is the mutts nuts

I’m not catching your drift, but I feel like I fully agree.

 

[super_city_si]

I dont blame him. He is absolute shite every time against united. Surely pep has noticed this?

 

[Trojan1962]

One word- Gash

 

[Kippax77]

Somewhere in there i'm saying Sterling can run around as i'd expect a well paid athlete to do, but this is football and i'd expect him to have more footballing skills.
Like finding a man, dribble without running with your head down into opponents and more critically not miss as many chances to score within the 6 yrd box

Nope don't think he as noticed this yet
