Raheem Sterling | Arsenal Player (on loan)

Played a blinder yesterday. His story of being raging and angry alongside his limp half arsed display at Leeds sums the fella up.
Again can I reiterate I loved Raz at City, on his day unplayable but there was no need for him to release that interview, absolutely no need whatsoever and it's come back to bite him on the arse.

Silly lad needs to stop bad mouthing us and his time here as we helped his career enormously.

I do fear for Raheem @ Chelsea. If the team don't win anything this season or aren't competing as well as hoped for those lot will turn on him like rabid dogs. Undoubtedly, their racist element will also come out of the woodwork too, which still has a nasty underbelly regardless how much they dress up the immediate area.

You can definitely see them turning on him quickly if he doesn't go on a bit of a scoring run soon. For all the reservations our fans had about some aspects of his game, the crowd never got on his back in any significant numbers.
 
Always thought if Raheem has time to think about it then he will miss, I wonder what wage he's on at Chelsea compared to what he earned for us

I've been saying that for ages, but have been slagged off for it. He's a bit like Darius Vassell; rarely makes the right choices when given any time to think about them.

I think the trouble is that he still scored a shitload of goals for us and was a key part of our most successful sides. That's where the similarity with Darius Vassell is a little extreme! But it's clear as our play adapted, and perhaps when Arteta left, his form dropped. I don't know why he came out and said what he did because I don't know what audience he thought he had. Most people would react the same - you're paid a shit tonne shut up and get on with it. Most City fans would agree he wasn't performing well enough but has been a wonderful player for us. He's just got a character that means he's never really going to be a fan favourite anywhere but I'd still give him a clap when he's at the Etihad and then hope he does fuck all and loses quite badly. As he did at Elland Road yesterday.

The interview shows he lacked the class of players like Jesus, and Zinchenko.

It was also quite revealing.The fact he thought his performances the last 2 season were okay,"He couldn't do anymore",and thought he was being treated unfairly.I thought fuck me how deluded is he.
 
Always supported him, and felt he was at times unfairly maligned. I felt for him with the disgusting hatchet job done on him by scousers and the media. However .. I think he is a complex character who fans don’t generally warm to. No excuse for slagging the club that made him though. Needs a head wobble.

His finishing ability is inversely proportional to how easy the chance is. He scores as few worldies from outside the box, but couldn't beat a keeper in a 1 on 1 if the keeper was blindfolded.

I think it’s because when he has too much time to think about it he can’t cope but when it’s instinctive it usually works.

That run and cross for Gundagon v Villa was brilliant
 
He was the most played player under the Guardiola era at City.

Ungrateful little shit.

I did wish him well before but hope he flops now. Which he will I think.

I think the writing was on the wall since the All or Nothing documentary when Pep was having a chat with Arteta which finished with them both rolling eyes at Sterling’s inability to finish the simple chances - don’t forget Sterling will have seen this documentary and also be aware of their opinion of him.

Why he didn’t spend all day, every day practising his left foot is beyond me

The writing was on the wall in January 2018? And it took until August 2022 to sell him? Ok.

I'd suggest that he doesn't wobble his head while he's shaving though.

I’d personally clap him before and then get on his back once the game kicks off. Watch him shit the bed like he does at Anfield and Old Trafford every game

Not sure about that as he started CL final 2 years after that documentary

He’s just been stupid ( really stupid ) and completely unnecessarily had some digs at us
All sour grapes he’s got with Pep and the staff and he’s completely ruining his legacy with City
FIVE LEAGUE TITLES he’s won here FIVE

There’s probably only a handful of players from Uniteds era who are more decorated than Sterling and he’s just showing zero appreciation for what we did for him as a player
Bit gutted to be honest I always fought his corner while he was here

I think nothing wrong with him saying he felt like he becoming less and less important to City, which is true compared to previous seasons.
especially late stage CL games, thats where Pep really showed who he trusts except CL final which was a fuck up to start Sterling and not Rodri/Dinho.

Also I think Sterling saying these thing to make it crystal clear to Tuchel not to even think benching him even if he is bad from which he will be in some period of the season.
bit of a mind game imo towards Tuchel.
"I am here at Chelsea because City did not guarantee fixed starting 11. dont you fucking dare to bench me Tuchel, is it clear?"

right now they look a bit short upfront with Werner, Lukaku gone, Pulisic angling for a loan move, Zijech might be sold, Havertz not hitting the heights expected. not much to worry right now for Sterling to be rotated...
but if they would have been able to get in Aubamayeng plus another great winger...

Yep the one that comes across his body on to his left he can hardly make contact.ike a blind spot.
I guess hes also got his image and endorsements to protect so putting it down a professional fall out boxes it off for him without any y culpability. .

No before this season or since Aguero hardly played I considered him our biggest goal threat tbh.
Never the most naturally gifted player but he was the one who would constantly get himself into those positions to finish a move off
