#7 | Raheem Sterling - 2020/21 Performances

[yeseye]

Can somebody with a bit more football knowledge then myself please explain to me why the fuck Sterling started this game ?

I have been scratching my head for the last hour and i am struggling to find a logical answer!

 

[Brewster's millions]

Would love to know what people thought Kevin or Mahrez did better tonight.

Probably our best attacking player, that's how low the standards were tonight.

He was a lot better than both KDB and Mahrez tonight, which just about says it all.

I would have liked to see him switch to the right at some point and have a go at that left back, as for me he’s a lot better on the right and we had nothing to lose, but Guardiola’s stubbornness obviously didn’t allow for that.

Still wouldn’t be surprised if Sterling goes in the summer though as he’s looked distracted for a good while now.

Had a feeling he would play tonight. I thought he’d rise to the occasion given the fact Pep showed such faith. Alas, he was utterly average again. He realised in the second half he wasn’t able to go past James.

He really isn’t good enough to play in a European Cup final.

Spot on.

I guess the anger at Sterling is more based on the fact he did nothing,yet again, to prove his critics wrong.Hes just so lightweight.

The chance in the first half sums him up. Makes the right run and gets into the correct position but takes a wank first touch and loses the chance.

That chance was by no means a great chance but the great players take and make the most of them.

I like the lad and he’s a useful squad player but he’s not an elite player. In fact, if ever a player was suited to Arsenal, it’s Sterling.

 

[Mazzarelli's Swiss Cheese]

But that was more down to numerous other players failing to turn up, alas.

Absolutely agree, but it's not their threads getting bumped.

 

[Gabriel]

Absolutely agree, but it's not their threads getting bumped.

Well off I shall go to bump…

 

[Pell]

His performance was okay, but he should never have started.

 

[Mazzarelli's Swiss Cheese]

Well off I shall go to bump…

You'll be up late to get through them all ;-)

Other than his average technical ability,his game is just so poncey,when we need bollocks he isn't the man.Whar the fuck is that constant going down in all fours all about?

I can't have a dig at a player for getting picked to start . He is our most out of form player and just can't understand how or why he started . I can't condemn a player for getting selected to start . I bet he was more surprised than anyone .
