Why since he joined has Sterling been the easiest to leave out?
Does Pellegrini Really Rate Sterling ?

Navas hasn't done anything wrong so he shouldn't be dropped either. Navas has played better than sterling has over the course of the season so far tbh

I believe he does rate him, there are two things to bear in mind;
1. The affects of overplaying him were seen last season at Liverpool, he was so burnt out he was sent on holiday mid season. He is still young.
2. We have a world class squad, therefore there are very few guaranteed starters, not everyone can play every game; Sterling has so far played a part (most of them as starts) in 32/37 games.

I think Raheem was purchased for Pep
Yes, but seeing as Sterling's form was even patchier. I can't see why this is a serious question or issue.

I'm not sure he really has a view on our national currency. Think he's more into Chilean Pesos, Euros and possibly Dollars.

He's 21. There's no reason for him to play every game.
He was knackered playing every game for Liverpool.

We are a much better team with Navas in the side than we are without. Playing Sterling over Navas would not IMO make us better
We've played very well recently with them both in the team.
I think the club are testing him deliberate to avoid another Michael Owen situation. He's played 150 games and he only turned 21 a month ago.
If you look at it, he's only finished 5 of the 18 league games he has started.
And he's taken off no matter how well he's playing, so I don't think it is performance related.
Last season he had to get given a mid season holiday ffs and miss an England game because he was exhausted.
It's just careful management of a player the club spent the best part of £50m on and could be a part of the side for a decade.

Lol this season we've been much better when KDB hasn't played. Doesn't necessarily mean we're a better side without him.

I agree and would like to see them again tonight, but was responding to the poster who said he would prefer Sterling over Navas

Lol (ffs). If you read the post I was responding to, you might have understood
Good point
