#7 | Raheem Sterling - 2019/20 Performances

[jimmygrimblesboots]

Playing him to death on the left doesnt help him either. He does it so he can cut in on his right, but how often does it work? On the right he can atleast mix it up a little bit and take it to the line. His dribbling has never been that good imo, SwP was a better dribbler and that is something I have though since he came. The way Sweep just bodyfeinted and took out two defender running at goal is something I have missed in Raz game. His pace and amazing movement is what has made him. He started out very good on the left but now he's found out and he is as one-dimensional as Mahrez ever was.

Don't get me wrong, its more than his position that he struggles with atm, but it doesn't help one bit

Just think he's having a bad run of form , two ways to approach the problem , he plays through it or he is rested , looks like Pep is going for the former only time will tell if he gets it right , but Raheem is miles away from his best ,the fact he has poached a few goals has papered over his contribution to the team in the last couple of months

His form has fallen off a cliff. Still makes good runs and pulls defenders around but his use of the ball in the final third and his timing is horrible.

Did he ever played good against United or Liverpool ?

no goals in 19 matches he played vs rags

He needs an extended rest and I honestly don't see what we'd have lost by starting Foden instead of him tonight.

We'd probably have scored more

Posted on the match thread about this, I genuinely think Pep is trying to let him play through this dip in form. Good coaching or stubbornness? Think we'll know soon enough

Good coaching.

Remember the 3-2 at Anfield in Slippy G's last season? Raheem took the piss out of our defence and keeper before slotting home in the first few mins....where has that guy gone? Couldn't finish a sandwich last night.

Where has he gone?
He is been bagging 20+ a season in the past 3 years.

He had an off day last night in front of goal, on a whole his performances have been poor but he has still been scoring, its 4 or 5 in the last 6 isn't it?

Had a few chances last night that he just needed to hit with his left foot, one of the downsides of playing on the left wing i guess....

Ah right. Maybe he should have taken that pen against Wolves with his left!

Needs to be left out of the team on current form, absolute powder puff efforts off or on goal last night, infact nothing he tried came off for him. Been like it for a couple of months now, Mahrez on the left, Bernardo on the right on current form deserve to start ahead of Raheem.

Been shocking for weeks, personally I would keep Sane over him.
