#7 | Raheem Sterling - 2020/21 Performances

[nellyonthewing]

haha, consistent as ever.

Wasnt great today but keeps trying so you just never know

You're right he wasn't great - he was garbage.. and no he didn't keep trying. Wouldn't pick him over Mahrez right now.

Not a great showing by him today.

Think he suffers a little more when asked to push as far wide as he did. He usually looks alot better when he's allowed to come in narrower and closer to the frontman.

We've become seriously spoilt as a fan base.

He isn't having the best of seasons but he's still our joint top scorer. You cannot compare his impact even during this difficult period to that of Mahrez. Sterling works his socks off both defensively and offensively and still makes space for others even when things aren't going well.

I think he could do with a bit of a break but to ask how long we persist, to say he is not a good footballer and is zero threat to the opposition is ridiculously over the top.

He will be vital to us between now and the end of the season.

Sterling is playing as badly as Mahrez. Yes, Sterling has been a much better buy for the club overall but right now, he is playing no better than Mahrez. If Mahrez had put in the 1st half performance Sterling did, there would have been a meltdown on here.

How he continues to get selected is bemusing to say the least

Apparently, he plays his best on the right

Apparently, he plays his best on the right

Yes and I agree. But playing off the right doesn't necessarily mean 'high and wide' all the time.

Has been bloody awful for too long, irrespective where he plays along the line.
Needs to be gathering splinters for a while now

Ahhhhh.....so he was too much right??? Got ya.

 

[Gabriel]

Needs a rest and not just for one game. Give him a game or two away and then the bench until Liverpool.

We've all been crying out to see sterling back on the right, we're now getting it but he's still putting in non-existent performances like that tonight. Arguably shouldn't even be in the match day squad nevermind anywhere near the starting 11. Needs dropping not just for 1 game but for an extended period until he ups his game because he's been woeful for 12 months.
