What you just said about him scoring is my point , nobody else is in the right place to score tap ins like he does but you have to put it like that

But scoring a tap in (which again is difficult for him considering the open nets he misses) doesn’t reflect fully someone’s 90 minutes. As a stat it’s great, Sterling scored. You watch the game and for most of it he played poorly? Ronaldos stats are great. Contributes very little to his side though overall. As I said it’s perfectly ok to say when he doesn’t play well. Scoring a goal doesn’t mean someone’s played well. I didn’t think Foden was at his best last night, had he of scored an open net that wouldn’t have changed my mind.

The thing is though he didn’t play well last night. He was laughable. Scored a tap in and you’re making out like he’s Pele. Missed a fucking open net as usual and otherwise abysmal but even that wasn’t enough to get past your blue tinted happy clapper goggles.

Any yet he gets selected and we want to extend his contract. Why do you think that is ?
 
I understand how many can get frustrated with Sterling.

What I can't understand is how any Blue would lack the imagination to picture what he could do on our wing with Big Blondie as our central forward.
Sterling may have his greatest year yet in that scenario. I'd even say that it is likely he will.

All in time for him to run down his contract and be a very desirable commodity one year hence.
 
Used to be his biggest cheerleader but watching him is getting rather painful. His runs tend to be ill timed or he will run to the wrong place to receive a pass, that's if it's not bounced off the back of his heels. He shits out of 50/50s and after fluffing a gilt edged chance then almost knocking himself out running into the post I just felt that was that for raheem sterling.
I mean dragging his heels on a new contract also irks because he's not important like he thinks he is. I believe he's holding us back and has more than enough time but has actually gone backwards. Time to get sold and time to move on

I would rather he just moved on if I'm honest. His overall game is far from the levels we need.

TBH i consider him our worst player, his performances don’t match his wages, nor does his technical ability, genuinely what skill does the guy have except for running fast? He does not have a first touch, not a great passer, can’t cross, can’t score pens, not really a good free kicker, lacks footballing IQ that of Mahrez & Bernardo, did i forget he also has a horrible chance to conversion ratio? And is getting carried by our other players?

I felt sorry for the post.

His heart isn't at City and looks to be running his contract down like James Miller. At least Milner admitted as much.

Needs to be moved on for his own peace of mind.
 
simple question, would we actually miss him if he left? I think the answer is no, anything he could offer (coming on as a sub) we have others that could do it. Add that to his profligy in and around the penalty area, to me that says its time to let him go (abroad) this summer

He's our fastest player, pulls defenders all over the place. Has a god awful shot.

But I think his positions pull open teams for our better shooters to score way more than we realize. He also is a good passer around the box.

I think we might miss him more than we'll realize.

But his finishing truly is god awful sometimes.
 
I wouldn't mind if he extended on his current wages. But there is no fucking way on this earth he has earnt a pay rise. If he's happy to extend on his current terms then great we'll see if he improves with Haaland in the team. But if he still has delusions of grandeur about getting De Bruyne or Haaland level money then he needs to be sold cos that's just taking the piss.

He won’t need to finish next season as we will have two new strikers…pressure off.
