Work rate is right , he was way too casual and drippy pressing but he has improved that for sureMuch higher work rate these days than even a few months ago, really showing his class now. Great display yesterday, MOTM for me.

still think hed fit better centrally. should be on the ball more often.
The one time on the sideline was blatant. Late and nowhere near the ball. A yellow all day every day but I'm so past wondering what games some of these refs are watching.Consistently 8/10 , but he needs more protection from the referee's , Trippier was chipping away at him all afternoon and didnt even get a yellow , Jack righfully pissed at times , he appears to be fair game for defenders.
Would love to see him on the ball more...still think hed fit better centrally. should be on the ball more often.
Front three today should be starting every game now and I’d like to see Mahrez play the Kdb roll
Yawn...When you say glides past you mean sideways past?
You're joking right? You're comparing a one dimensional, SLOPPY, one footed, turnover machine like Sterling to someone with sublime skills on the ball, midfielder skills, and a ball retention magnet by goals and assists? There's no double standard. If Sterling is not scoring goals he's useless. When he was on it here he had value. Then he started missing more sitters than he was worth and he had to go. Why are you even bringing him up in this conversation? I guess we all have favorites and some will be defended regardless of the circumstances. I wouldn't trade Jack at this moment for 10 Sterlings...just sayin'...I can understand this attitude for the few people who said he'd never be good enough and there was no chance of him making it here. I accept that that was wrong.
But most of his critics have been proven right by the recent upturn in form, not proven wrong. The point we were making was that we spent £100m on a guy who didn't look anywhere near up to it. Now he looks much closer to the quality we were expecting and guess what? The 'haters' have 'melted away'.
What's actually happened was, he was hugely disappointing for ages and rightly got criticised. Then he improved so there wasn't as much to criticise anymore.
I still think he's been underwhelming overall, mind you. This is him 'settled into a Pep team' and he's still only really getting the occasional goal and assist.
I cannot imagine the fucking explosion so many posters on here would have if Raheem Sterling had 3 goals and 4 assists in a season for us and people were praising him for it. In fact that's pretty much Sterling's exact output at Chelsea right now and he's been shocking. I think it's that double standard that frustrates me more than anything.
There's the key word, swagger...you nailed it!Something has clicked mentally with him in recent months. It’s clear he now feels like he belongs here, but also that he doesn’t need to be subservient to KDB and others. He’s seemingly realised he is able to influence the game himself and willing to take on the responsibility of doing so. Playing with a swagger now.
