only chance for him at city if Kane arrives and he plays off of him. but not from left a Grealish will mainly play from left imo. thats where he was the best for Villa and more creative than Sterling in going past people or more likely to make a good cross than Sterling who often just runs into defender.

still hard to work out where all of Foden, Sterling, Grealish fit in same eleven with Mahrez imo expecting to start a lot of games too. given Mahrez is 30 years old and has 2 years on his contract, i would seriously start thinking of moving him out next summer instead of a new long contract to keep him here until age 34 and then nobody will be able to afford his salary if we want to sell later on.

all this of course if we renew Sterling's contract which seemingly is the plan so far but he needs to up his form tho, because if he doesnt Pep will rotate him out more and more and he will not like to be benched. best case scenario is he finds his old form and be a regular, any other option is bad for the team and sooner or later bad for the dressing room if he starts sulking for game time (after he signs a new very expensive contract).
 
Didnt show his England form , but how did that Spuds full back not get booked and why involve Lloris , Taylor just game the Spuds player permission to kick Sterling at every opportunity , he was getting zero protection from Taylor , one of many weird decisions form Mr.Alty.
 
he’s already proven himself. Didn’t actually think he was that bad today and it’s also only the first game after 5 weeks of no football

the criticism of Sterling on here is ridiculous.
Why would you give a guy a new contract who's already on close to 300K PW who hasn't performed at a world class level consistently since 17/18... he was decent in 18/19 but since then it has been a nose dive. Phil could have taken his spot with his eyes closed.. not to mention I used to absolutely rave about how hard he worked defensively, where the hell has that gone? Jogging back without a care in the world.
 
Crap today and reverted back to his City form of the previous 18 months.
Slows the play down, runs into opponents, gives the ball away and a shot as weak as piss
Also always in Grealish’s way
