Raheem Sterling - 2016/17 performances

[bluesimon]

I can see him scoring 20 a season in the league given a few more seasons.

He was great throughout tonight, and didn't seem to panic under some of the pressure they put us under.

Towards the end, he looked to kick on, and caused them no end of problems.

Well done Raheem, keep it going fella!

 

[Ed2607]

Brilliant to watch

 

[Delphacito]

His goal was Messi-esque - to say the least!

 

[Terra Passenger]

Sterling's become so good, he's now scoring at both ends of the pitch!

 

[City_Sean]

His goal yesterday was absolutely world class. He's on another level to some of his teammates at the moment.

If he carries on like this, £49m will be an absolute steal.

 

[mscenterh750]

He's fucking brilliant, and he's ours.

 

[mancity dan]

We need a better song for Raz.

 

[Hungarian blue]

Even his goal aside, what a brilliant match he had. Both of our big chances towards the end (Fernandinho, Gundogan) came after Raheem's fast dribbling skills.

 

[Kompany is King]

Sterling playing like we thought he could. Pep has given him the freedom to play.

Raheem slaloming through defenders is a joy to watch

Sterling playing like we thought he could. Pep has given him the freedom to play.

Like some of us thought he could. ;)

 

[Zin 'messiah' Zimmer]

Like some of us thought he could. ;)

Didn't you slate him along with the rest of the team? (:

I've watched the game back this morning, also a worthy note is when he attempts to dribble, should he lose it, he has it back in his possession within seconds.... I counted 4/5 attempts last night that didn't come off but his body was already between the man and the ball to safeguard it after a tackle - that has clearly been coached in!!!

Was his biggest critic last season. Credit where credit is due, he's been magnificent.

 

[jollylescott]

One of the most striking improvements has been his composure in those critical key moments in and around the goal. To me it's all about being supported in his self-belief by Pep. Last night he was our stand out player. He has always had blistering speed. Now it's being coupled with a rapidly developing football intelligence and a licence to take on players with his natural gifts.

It's been a brilliant transformation, and if this continues the sky is the limit.

Didn't you slate him along with the rest of the team? (:

I think you'll find my support for Raheem has been unequivocal and unwavering since he signed for us. :)

 

[wolfie1988]

His crossing from the right hand side is a revelation. He put in 3 balls in the first half which should have been put into the net. Aguero is going to have to learn to get on the end of some of them as he always seems to be so far behind the play when crosses come into the box

[Hart of the Matter]

Beware. One shaky performance and he will be bit shit again. See Kolorov thread for proof....

 

[Thaksinssoldier]

Every single touch makes Pellegrini look even more incompetant than the results show.
