#7 | Raheem Sterling - 2020/21 Performances

[sir baconface]

Some were for selling kev recently when he was getting back to fitness, that is how ridiculous this place gets , did he earn too much then ?

The money is swaying opinions

Perspective, please.

If you look hard enough, you’ll find every opinion under the sun.

On that basis, I feel obliged to remind you that we’re governed by lizards and Danny Fcukin Mills is PM-in-waiting.

Well, that's a grown up post.

Well, that's a grown up post.

About as grown up as some of the comments about one of our best players.

I don't want to pull Kev into this discussion because this is a Sterling specific thread. But I'll say this on the matter. My opinion of Sterling is based on 6 seasons of data (including the current season) - 2 seasons he was good for his age, 2 seasons he was world class and 2 seasons he has been poor or average. Kevin has also been here for 6 seasons - 5 seasons he has been world class and one season he was mostly injured.

The people who were ready to sell Kevin because of 2 average games need to take a long hard look in the mirror. However, if Kevin is poor or average for 2 seasons straight while earning 300k pw, then believe me when I say that I'll start thinking about his place in the squad too. I don't worry too much about that day though, the best midfielder in the world is the best for a reason.

Again,great post.

Regarding Kev,i didnt see anyone wanting him sold,thats more bollocks.....but people,myself included,did question whether he was part of our best 11,not from an individual perspective but as a part of the cohesion and dynamic.

He's not getting sold.

Back him.

That's it.

Fair play if you feel he can turn this around in what game time he will get for the remainder of the season. I think you are being far too optimistic as the signs are not favouring that.

I also appreciate what he has done on previous seasons.

I agree,as long as its from the bench and hope he finds form,conviction and purpose on the training pitch.

I agree with what you first said, what do you mean by "conviction and purpose on the training pitch"?

How do you know what's happening on the training pitch?

So do we all. But the criticism is on the here and now, not seasons ago.

 

[mosssideblue]

Fact.

You're ITK then, fair enough

All things and others that are missing from his play,i hope he find them in training and then into competition.

I stand by my posts Raz will score some season defining goals in the games to come.

You realize that's different from "conviction and purpose on the training pitch"

Moving the goalpost or just not reading ?
