Is Sterling actually a striker? Sick of hearing this 2 goals in 40 appearance stat, not sure how long he has been playing "up front", but besides that stat is there actually anything else wrong with his game for England? I mean he has best assists rate, motm performances, best passing rate of any of the attacking midfielders... Seems to me the only stick to beat him with is not scoring enough. He has scored the same as Alli, albeit with more games but also with x2 the amount being subbed off.
Fucks me off that Shearer exclaims this stat a few times, it isnt even newsworthy, instead look at his assists or contribution because I am sure Southgate isnt playing sterling as a Vardi or Kane goal scorer type.
I could be completely wrong, but I’m sure they put up a stat a few games ago that he had only had sonething like 8 shots for england total. From which he’d scored 2 goals. Not a terrible return.
But if thats remotely true I suggest thats because his team mates aren’t as good and don’t make any chances for him
