Yeah lets just overlook glaring technical issues because he can score tap ins (despite fucking up a large number of chances as well.) He'd have a lot more goals if his first touch was better and he could get the ball under control and then shoot properly.

Yeah let's overlook the unrivalled amount of tap ins he's scored for us for the last three years because he's not got the best first touch.
Works both ways. Apart from the fact that goals change games and pretty flicks don't.

I'm not greedy I don't want fancy flicks. I'll settle for him being able to take a touch of the ball without it bouncing 5 feet away from him and him fucking up the attack.

You mean like when he was averaging a goal every other game and he was finishing our attacks?
Pretty sure we all want him to hit that form again.
Apart from those who obviously saw no merit in all those tap ins.

These are just some of raheem 'tap ins' sterlings goals last season
It's like the people who make up some of these stuff about him forget there are videos of his goals around but why let facts get in the way of an agenda

People keep going on about these tap ins and not looking into how he's getting into those positions
I’ve been as disappointed as the next person with his form this season but saying he has no technical ability and can’t pass or control the ball is the kind of comment that I’d expect from an idiot.
This is a player who’s made it to the top of the game, plays for the best team in the world and is currently negotiating a contract worth millions.
You’d think it was fucking Bebe we were discussing.

Being denigrated for scoring copious numbers of tap-ins is a bit weird. “All he does is routinely get on the end of chances” doesn’t make a lot of sense
Criticize his form this season, by all means. That just seems an odd place to start

Of course you are correct,but much of the criticism is born from frustration and disappointment,and it then becomes exaggerated and OTT.I’ve been as disappointed as the next person with his form this season but saying he has no technical ability and can’t pass or control the ball is the kind of comment that I’d expect from an idiot.

However there is no escaping the fact his technical ability,passing ability,and control of the ball,is a long way behind the brilliance of our other attackers,and that has become a big problem when we are trying to play the possession based style of football Pep demands.
This isnt an issue that has haunted him for a few months,as some would like to claim,its been a problem for a good while....despite the goals,his overall game and contribution has deteriorated over the past couple of seasons to such an extent that people are now concerned he might not rediscover it.
Not comparing the 2 obviously but Shaun Goater Would have scored plenty in this teamBeing denigrated for scoring copious numbers of tap-ins is a bit weird. “All he does is routinely get on the end of chances” doesn’t make a lot of sense
