When he's on it he's world class. We need to help him sustain that. And he needs to work on it too

The break has done Sterling the world of good , a different player looks re-energised and if he keeps this form up , whisper it , we can win the Champs league.

He has struggled against the majority of right-backs he has been up against all season. Those that have been able to match him for pace have generally had him in their pocket.

Should have been Jesus and David Silva off, IMO.I said as much in the match day thread when it was happening and got shouted down.

I actually don't understand what Pep's plan is when he plays with Zinchenko.
Zinchenko tucks in, so Sterling is wide on the touch line --> Ineffective because he is right footed and so far from goal, he isn't crossing on his weaker left foot
Zinchenko goes wide, so Sterling plays inside --> Better position for Sterling, but then Zinchenko is useless as he doesn't cross and we have no left side attack, plus he is too slow to track back counter attacks from such a wide position
Pairing the two doesn't make sense to me.
If we buy Bailey, then I can see Zinchenko and Bailey playing together, but I've never liked this pairing.

You have to remember Sterling played 97 minutes vs. Chelsea, 95' vs Newcastle, 79' vs. Liverpool and then an hour vs. Southampton.
330 minutes of football in 10 days, and we have Newcastle on Wednesday and Brighton on Saturday etc.
There's just too much football on, he had to come off.
