#7 | Raheem Sterling - 2020/21 Performances

Despite Sterling not having his best season so far, I’d have played him tonight. CL games somehow are to his favour.

Unless it's against Lyon

It seems strange to me that Pep has watched him be poor for so long and continued to pick him. Then all of a sudden, he’s dropped and is seemingly now well out of favour.

Maybe he was hoping he would play himself into some form, he did it with kev when he was having a rough patch after he came back from injury, and after giving raheem that space to find his form he's thought every match needs to be won and at the moment I can't trust raheem to have a good game.
Or he is testing raheem, will put him back into the team hoping for the right sort of reaction

A fit and firing raheem will be a game changer in the next couple of months, maybe pep is trying to push his buttons to get that player back who can destroy teams back at it

It certainly feels like it might be a challenge to him. We all know Pep loves Sterling and maybe Sterling has gotten a little too comfortable with that. Hopefully the change in approach from Pep will light a fire under him.

I think it was an obvious decision..

Mahrez and Foden are better wingers this year.. and he also needed 4 midfielders to handle high-press of Germans..

He was actually one of our better players on the night. The miss is much more memorable unfortunately.

As in the one sitter he missed. Bit like Foden last night with the latter time and a chance to make up. Which he did.

If that constitutes bashing then the internet must be a very dark place for you.

Few people on this forum have praised and defended Sterling more than me over the last six years. We're at the point now where as soon as a City fan sees anyone criticising Raheem at all they assume that person must hate Sterling.

I've read enough post on match threads that say get this Fuckin ****, Wanker, Dickhead out of this club when he loses control of the ball, off the SAME folk constantly, Funnily enough since quite a few posters on here have pretty much complained about this the bile & Vitriol has been nipped in the bud even when Raz has has had an off game. Personally yes some poster's can't stand the guy that's near certain. I'm sure this happens at every club.
