#7 | Raheem Sterling - 2020/21 Performances

[BlueBanger]

Out of form yet still gets picked. First few minutes looked promising - got in behind then James had him for the whole game. No idea why it wasn’t switched up, maybe Foden could have offered something different to their right side.

Just seemed like he ‘thought’ he could do the Walker special of tap it past a very quick / strong James and run him, didn’t work the whole 90, once the knocking it past didn’t work he reverted to his cut back, sideways backwards, same when he plays AWB he seems to struggle when he’s found out early now.

No idea what the falling on the ball was about but the ref wasn’t having any of that.

He could tap it past james and run, its just that his touch is so dismal he'd lose control upon the next contact with the ball...every single time.

True, thought when he got the ball over the top from Ederson his touch let James back in? It was good defending to get back but Sterling give up that ball so easy.

 

[oh right]

I’m hearing an awful lot of ‘it’s not his fault he was picked’ I’m sorry but fuck off with that bollocks.

This bloke earns 300k a week to play for this football club and we’re talking about him like he’s won a raffle to play for us... not only that but there are reports he’s in line for a new bumper contract!!!!

Like someone pointed out those select few that defend him no matter what their opinion is pointless as they can’t see the bigger picture and will defend him no matter what. He’s been wank for 18 months now and getting even worse. Sell as soon as we can before we lose even more money by selling next summer for even less than this year or end up being tied into a long contract with him.

Makes me laugh when I see people in disbelief when people say offer him to spurs in the kane deal like he’s above them as a club haha, that’s his level to a tee maybe even lower to be honest. He flourished in a system here where he used his pace once upon a time but technically he’s a championship player and lower, can’t kick a ball properly with either foot, dribbling/passing/shooting all shite, pace and movement is good but so what if you’re wank at all the other stuff.

I actually thought he was one of our better players last night.

The issue with his selection was changing a winning formula, no fault of his own.

Come off the fence, tell us what you really think :)

Utter nonsense.

 

[Goater=Legend]

A player that doesn't trust his left foot is out on that side where there was no space whatsoever, cutting in on his right where there was 2 or 3 players stopping him from doing so

 

[MCFC1993]

Utter nonsense.

Not really I couldn't name 3 or 4 players better than him for us last night.

I don't think he played well btw but it says how bad the rest were.

 

[meeesh]

It is now a crossroads situation,something has to be sorted now

 

[Mad_fer_it]

he's our only player with any pace and knows where the back of the net is. Three seasons before this one he has got 20 or just under 20 league goals a season. We just haven't been playing to his strengths this season with the new system. Also, no one would be able to afford him this summer so its pointless anyway.

True, but he has limited talent. He played above expectations 2/3 seasons ago. We were surprised he could do what he did. Now he looks nowhere near that form. He's exhausted his ability. Time to go. Shouldn't have been anywhere near the starting XI last night. Not good enough, simple as.
