#7 | Raheem Sterling - 2020/21 Performances

[WestGorton]

Something going on behind the scenes imo because you don't turn into Bebe over night

Yes it's strange

 

[ID70]

About the 60 min mark he picked the ball up in the Chelsea half with acres of space in front of him instead of breaking at pace at their back line he stopped, strolled forward and then just ran into Azpilecerta who dispossessed him easily....summed up his attitude and effort

I actually couldn't believe when I saw that. It was like he did it on purpose, I have never seen that from a footballer before.

Not been right since he smacked Gomez and Southgate dropped him. He's been on a downward spiral ever since and can no longer do the simplest things e.g. control the ball .
It's sad to see. Today he was awful and I really cannot explain why Pep continues to play him. His confidence must be at rock bottom.

 

[Gaylord du Bois]

The lad seems down and suffering with a lack of confidence. I hope, for his sake, he can turn it around.

Over night? It's been 2 seasons with very little bright sparks in between its been anything but a sudden decline.

 

[117 M34]

Don't understand the talk of letting him go. He isn't playing well at the minute but if he left we would regret it. He will hit form again before the end of the season and will play a big part in the run in.

Is 2 days and 1 game enough to be allowed to change your mind?

 

[Lavinda Past]

I said weeks ago that he looks like he's "saving himself" for the Euros and has been playing at 50% of normal this season. I've been waiting for him to explode back into form but it's just not happening. It's a real shame to see him playing so poorly for so long.

It's hard to imagine that City will want to increase his salary and/or extend his contract, and I won't be surprised if he's sold as a 'makeweight' in a major deal over the summer.

If Southgate picks his squad on current form, Raheem will be watching the Euros on TV this year.

 

[Stiff Little Wingers]

I spend the games, tonight a prime example, veering between anger and pity with him.
I honestly don't know what's going on but his last 2 performances have been shit

 

[Stelea]

Yet another absolute shit show. He was horrendous. Summed with when Cancelo was over lapping and Sterling sent it far to quickly for a goal kick. If we are going to play a week team I would rather pick a player from the youth team than Sterling.
