#7 | Raheem Sterling - 2020/21 Performances

[Kinkladze 1]

When he tried to play Gundogan in and just kicked it out by over hitting it horribly. When he did an air shot from 5yds out. When he headed it 6yds wide. Fucking awful.

Somewhere in there i'm saying Sterling can run around as i'd expect a well paid athlete to do, but this is football and i'd expect him to have more footballing skills.
Like finding a man, dribble without running with your head down into opponents and more critically not miss as many chances to score within the 6 yrd box

Yep - thought I’d agree.

I think we have to give him credit for his movement - it’s not a coincidence that he finds himself in the position to miss sitters like that. I’d go as far as to say he reads the game well, when he isn’t in possession and doesn’t have to focus on keeping control of the ball.

But I agree - he seems to be exactly that at this point - an athlete first and a footballer second.

You never know, Pep obviously loves him, so he might restructure the team so that we play to his strengths and he can excel again. Let’s just hope that isn’t to the detriment of what we’ve just seen in the last few months.

May as well play Ederson in attack vs United. He can't do worse than Sterling. No one can. How many career games is that now against them without a goal?

Take it he didn't learn gas, liquid solid at school, seeing as he keeps dribbling into opposing players.

Hes above average I will agree, but to me his mental attitude as to change.
Luke fatman Shaw as shown it this season for the Rags, but Sterling never takes any city game by the scruff of the neck.
Its like yeah I was there part of the team but nothing special.
A forward should be winning us games not just being there making up the numbers

 

[Stelea]

Seem to recall Sterling missed a gilt edged chance a year ago today in the same fixture. At the time we were 1-0 down and the better team.
Nothing ever changes with him

 

[Blu3m00n91]

He isn’t going to change in these big games and moments happened too many times now.

 

[HelloCity]

Perhaps Sane waa sick of being scapegoated and dropped after an indifferent performance while seeing Raheem indulged and automatically selected even if he stank the place out for weeks

To be fair Sterling was brilliant in those back to back title winning seasons.

He's been gash for months...
