Sterling and the hate he gets

[55yr old teenager]

Let's hope he's not one on one with the Italian keeper,for his sake.

Have to agree with you about that situation should it arise. Can you imagine the shitstorm it would create if he didnt score and it cost us the game. It doesnt bare thinking about.

It was a total dive yesterday but the issue i have with it is that City are going to be the ones that suffer next season. City find it hard enough to get penos and this will hardly help Sterling or City.

Watch it again - a pen all day long - there are two contacts left and right as he attempts to go past two defenders - one contact much heavier than the other.

If Raheem has any sense, in that situation just take it past the keeper and slot it in.

Ian Wright a fan as well:

He adores Raz does Wright, We all should tbh he's ours and hopefully for a fair few more years.

It could have been so different in the WC semi if Kane would have squared the ball to him to put it in an empty net. But when there is a golden boot at stake an stuff , why would he.

 

[Jack74]

Come on Raz you deserve this

He was offside wasn't he.....

 

[Spurs quarter 69]

You could feel their joy when they realised our first was an own goal so they wouldntt have to praise Raz

 

[kaz7]

I think it is very sad he gets it from all sides including blues ,i pray he doesnt make a mistake later on

 

[Brightwell Bros.]

I'm thrilled for him. He's been one of our best players for years, and he's still getting better. Nothing like shutting up critics, long may it continue.

Watch it again - no way is it a pen - there are two contacts left and right as he attempts to go past two defenders - one contact much heavier than the other.

I think you mean, "no way it’s not a pen".

He is blamed for not taking a pen .

He is blamed for not taking a pen .

Maybe if "the rag"2 had scored Saka may not have needed to take a penalty. So obviously its sterling fault.

He is blamed for not taking a pen .

Grealish already come out and said he wanted to take a pen.

Absolutely disgusting behaviour from the pundit class in calling out players who didn't take one as if a) they knew that the players had a choice and b) they knew that those who didn't take one had said they didn't want to take one.

For all the patriotic nonsense that abounds from the media, it's always the same. In the end they are the worst culprits of fostering division and hate in football.

3 people to blame - Southgate and the two fucking rags. Having said that, to go from being ahead to losing on pens suggests we just weren't good enough. The desire to pin this on raz isn't even racist, it's just fucking weird.

"Don't scapegoat Marcus and Bukayo and Jadon! Scapegoat these 2 instead for not taking a penalty!"

 

[carlosthejackal]

Two reasons for the hate aimed at him , the colour of his skin and he had the audacity to leave Liverpool.

 

[Scottyboi]

If Southgate had no intention of letting him take a pen, why did he not sub him off in ET and let Sancho or Rashford run at the Italians. Poor management is to blame for this game tbh no individual player.

I wouldn't even blame Rashford or Sancho. Being brought on so late without kicking a ball then being expected to take those pens?

It's on the manager.

 

[jacko74]

He is blamed for not taking a pen .

So it's basically all the fault of:-

a.) A City player
b.) A player strongly linked with a move to City this summer
