#7 | Raheem Sterling - 2020/21 Performances

[Blue Llama]

Sterling saved Southgate's bacon for the third time.

 

[WallyA]

I'm as unconvinced by a striker Sterling as I am with Torres. Part of what gets Sterling his goals is his movement from wide areas. He can't really do that centrally, where his lack of strength (relative to most CBs) and indecisiveness would work against him.

Play them together as "wing strikers" like Ronaldo or Mbappe.

Wingers in a striker partnership, giving them freedom to drift wide or centrally.

Having a top tournament.

I thought Raheem made a few intelligent runs, cuts back inside to lay off and there’s no support there at all.
England beat Germany and the morons on HYS are more interested in slating our man than revelling in the victory.

Playing like we expect at city. Hope he takes this in to the new seasom.

He was the best player on the pitch.

His value will never be higher after the euros. We either tie him down to a 5/6 year deal or sell high.

He’s certainly strengthened his hand when it comes to contract negotiations with City.

There’s 3 of them ? No wonder he was everywhere ;-)

 

[GaudinoMotors]

So now he is being lauded and is Rio's best mate to boot, will he be a City player next season?
Ironically, his new found fame and form could price him out.

 

[Tugay One Cup]

will he be a City player next season?

Yes.

Smartarse.

[Stiff Little Wingers]

Thought all the City players played very well today. Sterling's directness was good to see - needs to continue that next season.

 

[dadnlad]

are the nation still boooing him

 

[cyan]

I thought Sterling was superb today - his movement into space kept giving the Germans problems, but so did the lack of movement ahead of him and behind him. At one point he was trying to drag Shaw and Philllips in to help him press, at others he is looking for Kane, who was always in the wrong place - until the move that led to Sterlings goal. The pundits have started giving him credit and perhaps fans will start to realise just what he offers to us and England.

 

[hilts]

A performance that had a bit of everything.

Yeah but it's Raheem, the credit is overdue, however it always seems to come with a 'but' where the media and fans are concerned.

You know all he has to do is have a bad game, a bad miss or miss a vital penalty and he'll be the whipping boy again for the fickle media and fans

 

[Mazzarelli's Swiss Cheese]

Really chuffed for him. Hope the confidence he gets back from the euros acts as a springboard for next season.
