#7 | Raheem Sterling - 2019/20 Performances

[jaiguruKun]

We won 3-1 at the swamp whilst he was poor, Pep nailed it with his tactics. Why would you change anything?

Perhaps Pep could give Sterling an extended break as he doesn't seem to be playing himself back into form?

Someone here was talking about expected assists and how great he is on the - left and teammates are not using their chances properly or correctly :DD

I was talking about Pellegrini Sterling and it was perceived as "AGENDA" or something LOOOOL

Was it Karen ? I don't remember...

----
Sterling 19/20 -> regressing month-by-month..

I curse the day when he was moved to the left and bernardo was moved on the wing..

As for bernardo we have seen - that he became POFY for playing in the midfield, where he is the world class..
Same applies to Sterling.. As soon as he returns as "WIDE WINGER" - his overall play will become better and better..

Sterling on the left wing - ain't gonna happen. HE WILL NEVER... NEVER be -> Neymar, Hazard and etc.. OFFICIAL

I have edited out the player abuse in your post which was completely OTT.

The rest is left because it was valid criticism.

Try to think more about what is reasonable and what is just abuse.

Should have scored 4-5 goals today, needs a rest

 

[penalty spot]

Needs a spell out for sure, nothing he tries to do seems to come off. Stands still over the ball far to often and slows our movement down. Pep doesn't seem to notice it like the majority on here though.

Right now he is failing in both his decision making and his execution of those decisions. If he were making good choices but not quite getting them right that would be one thing, but he’s doing the wrong things and doing them badly unfortunately

I agree with you.

However, he played a part tonight and we won 3-1. So for that, Pep’s decision to select him is justified.

For the majority of the season, the only thing he has had going for him is goals. As his performances got worse, his finishing got better. If he starts to finish like he did tonight and the performances continue as they have been, we are in a spot of bother.

You're absolutely right.
Except for one or two good games, he has not been in good form for several weeks. Somehow even in the games he was terrible, he managed to score.
Today he had to score at least 2 and hopefully we won't pay for it dearly

He's in the wrong position. After 6 months people have worked it out. He cant use his left, just don't take him down in the box and he'll just crab sideways until he's off balance and shoots. He doesn't run to the back post, because he doesn't like finishing first time with his left either.

When he's in the middle of things he still puts in some nice pieces of play, like the pass which put Bernardo through on goal only to be wrongly flagged offside. And his pressing and movement, and general workload were great today so it's not fatigue.

He's just a right sided player who was capable of filling in on the left for a bit, but not 6 months.

He doesn't need to rest or something.. He just needs to play on his position.

+1

If you can understand this - why you can't understand that Bernardo is far better CM than Winger :D
