Sterling possibly fit for Chelsea.

[Keepingthefaithsince1976]

Great news. If Navas & Sterling can find some form their is no fullbacks who can live with their pace. Imagine what City can do with a full fit squad.

 

[Exeter Blue I am here]

On anything but staus & reputation, surely nobody can think that Sterling couldn't improve the team compared to Dave's performance Tuesday ?

Therefore, great to have him back.

Depends on which Sterling you're talking about. If it's the one who turned up in Seville, then maybe. If it's the one we saw at Klanfield, then I'll stick with Spanish Dave thanks. Glad to have him back though

With De Bruyne as a number 10 we are better off having Sterling out wide over Silva so it can only be a good thing he is nearly back.

Pick completely the wrong team ?

Back of the net! Haha!

 

[mrtwiceaseason]

That's the end of kelches season then !!!

 

[DJBusinesscake]

Great news, injuries have been a real bastard this season, so having a fully fit squad finally is lovely.

 

[SWP's back]

Why's it great news? A sudden turn up in form isn't just down to de bruyne...

Are you taking the piss?

 

[The Fat el Hombre]

Great news hopefully we can freshen things up against Chelsea and have a go

Having Sterling back would be excellent for us, we've missed his ability on the counter attack so much, I could certainly see us using him at Silva's expense out on the left.

More importantly, fit for the CL semi final where I'd go with him, KdB and Navas behind Kun.

It's fantastic news! We need him fit if we want to make it through the semi final - his pace is a huge asset for us and he's been excellent in the CL (he made the CL group stage team which is a great achievement). If we get Barca or Real for instance - their full backs can venture as high up the pitch as they like but then try and catch Sterling.

Yes he's got a long way to go before he's the finished article but it's been a solid first season with us considering his age and the shite form a lot of the players around him have been in.

I don't think even them bent bastards UEFA would dare draw us against Barca mate LOL

The draws not been made yet, who knows what rule changes can be implemented before tomorrow :-)

 

[Sir peace frog]

Bi was reading about deli Ali and what a great player he has been this season with all the goals chances made etc Edt they even put a graphic up of what he does best and how he compares to the other players in the premier, sterling was above him in most

I agree mate. He's limited in effectiveness when playing backs to the wall defensive sides - which has been what we've seen a lot of over the past few seasons and a fair bit still this season.

But in games where we are defending, keeping it tight and then hitting the opponents on the break, he can be at his best.

DeBruyne & Sterling are two of the absolute best counter attacking players in europe imo.

 

[Rolee]

I'd like to see him used more on the right. That 13/14 season when he was brilliant for Liverpool the majority of his games were on the right.

it depends who we play, the main thing is having most of the squad back healthy gives us options to change things up. having sterling come on from the bench is a real bonus, but the different starting 11 permutations going into the last games of the season is great cause or optimism.

Dont you wish we had stuck our necks out and included Nasri in the CL squad as well.
