#7 | Raheem Sterling - 2020/21 Performances

[samarasra]

Because corporate PR is always a reliable source of facts.

Because the City site confirms when a player is transferred in or out. We were discussing rumours about whether he would be sold.

Is it amazing? I'm unaware of any player in any club who doesn't get "crap" from fans after monotonously consistently fucked up chances and generally poor performances. What's amazing to me is that people seem so desperate to defend him.

Nothing amazing about people supporting a player of a club they support, it's supporting not defending.

I think the difference is somewhat semantic but I support him. It's not like I want him to fuck up or *not* to score when he comes on. I cannot imagine any City supporters do.

Would be nice if our own could get behind him too. Some are having a go at him when he doesn't even kick a ball.

That’s half the problem:-)

Maybe more people should make the Twitter boycott permanent. It hardly enriches our lives.

Totally agree I have closed my account months ago and miss it like a hole in the head

One thing is for sure i dont want Sterling sold i want him back to his best terrorising opponents , if we sold him it will be a blow similar to losing Sane last season you cannot under estimate what he has done for our club over the last few seasons he has made a massive contribution.
Maybe the criticism is borne from our frustration that he is so much better than his current form , he will be back but i think it will be next season before we see an improvement , hopefully he has a good euro's and that will bring his confidence back.

He is overthinking things and his confidence is low. The goals he scored a couple of seasons ago were fantastic. Free flowing and from everywhere.

I think his form has actually picked up the last 2 appearances.

I'd agree with that tbf. And one of his greatest strengths is that he does have a knack of "making things happen", even if it is not him to ends up putting the ball in the net. But it's not enough for me. He's VERY expensive to keep on the books and IMO not worth the money.

I think he's looked much fresher. He got overplayed, tired and his form dropped because of it.

Now he's looking a lot fresher but he's still got to regain his confidence. If he plays like he did last week, it's not going to be long before a few go in and he'll be flying again.
