I would say first couple of seasons teams played relatively open and it has just got progressively worse. As we strengthen further, parked buses will be the norm against us, particularly at home.

That's at odds with the average possession stats posted on the last page.

It's also at odds with my memories of us getting disappointing results after conceding on the break throughout Pep's first season.
 
Again, I don't think the opposition tactics are what causes Sterling problems.

It's we played very slowly by our standards and being glued to the wing meant that his role was more of a midfielder than a winger. We lost a lot of his means to use his movement and agility. Foden was far more suited to the role in the end.

You could probably point out the opposite in discussing why Sterling is having much more joy for England than Foden did.
 
Diving and cheating was always part of Football good Footballers learn that. Noone has the right to blame Sterling
