I said it before. It's the heavy goals that matter, not the brace or hat trick when you're 3 up against the cannon fodder. Yaya and Kun scored them for us. Fuck Kane we need pace and power coupled with youth.

Didn’t mean him I was on about the team not scoring in those games. If you mean in that friendly though and his first league goal against Liverpool last month when it meant fuck all then it kind of backs my point up.
I mean when we first won the league under Pep he had a habit of winning us points late on in the first half of the season when there was still a title race. He's clearly got it in him.Yes because we smash the shite teams stat paddling. World class Raz is a prime example of this. 1 goal in the league against the scum, none at Anfield,Southampton, one at the Bridge, none at Wembley. The list goes on.

Yeah true. Mind you in those days he was also mainly on the right terrorising fullbacks. These days if he doesn’t score he contributes very little because from the left unless he’s running on to a through ball which is rare for us to be afforded that space he doesn’t use his pace as he can’t go outside on his left foot. Looks like we aren’t buying a left winger either so he’s staying on the left and we’ll continue to play so narrow.
I only remember one goal scored from the right, against Feyenoord. The rest were central or left, no?Yeah true. Mind you in those days he was also mainly on the right terrorising fullbacks.

I get your point, but he didn't contribute too much on the right either if he wasn't scoring. He did have his good days when he'd still be a threat on the right but I'd be willing to wager he's had a similar amount on the left.
The big issue on the left though is that he can't play that it across goal first time when he gets the throughball played into him behind the fullback/between the fullback and centre back. I'm sure that's been pointed out though.

Ueah can’t play a ball first time with his left but doesn’t have the confidence to dribble past a fullback and then use his pace there. When he was at his best on the right and confident he’d do that a lot.
When he's confident on the left he contributes excellently to quick, first time interplay, shoots more from distance (which he's improved upon) and takes players on in the middle of the pitch to lethal effect. It was never much use for him to take the fullback on the right because he's never been great at final balls in crowded areas.Ueah can’t play a ball first time with his left but doesn’t have the confidence to dribble past a fullback and then use his pace there.

I really think there are pros and cons with Sterling on either wing that balance out. The big element of Sterling is his confidence, as you mentioned. When he's in the right mood he's world class and I don't think it matters where he is. When he's not in the right mood he's going to have the same problems wherever.
He's been more confident this season than ever and that's why he at times he's scored goals galore. His general play has steadily improved too. We need to do what it takes to help him flourish in that regard and keep his spirits up for a season because if we can he's a 35 goal a season player left, right, or both.

some times watching city you think fuck me if we had this striker or that striker we would have score 10 or more
this city team/squad has so much CREATIVERTY but lack a killer striker that can stay fit all season, aguero would be getting 40 goals if he stays fit but picks up injures and misses a lot of game time
kane would be not my 1st or 2nd choice, mbappe would be my option ? but the price tag and wages would be a big problem, so would city dismantle the wage setup at the club for him, would it unsettle the other players, they would be knocking on the chairman door asking for more money if we are giving mbappe that much

I’ll agree to disagree mate I think his overall play this season has been poor. With his goal record I know that sounds ridiculous but watching him week in week out I’ve not been impressed. Bit like the team in that we could still score 100 goals but I don’t think we’re clinical enough.
