left wingerWhat’s his natural position?
Well, he’s been shite there for about 18 months so can hardly blame Pep for trying him down the middle whilst we have no strikerleft winger

He is not a striker , it sets him up to fail month after month and wont get his form back playing thereWell, he’s been shite there for about 18 months so can hardly blame Pep for trying him down the middle whilst we have no striker
Exactly.He is not a striker , it sets him up to fail month after month and wont get his form back playing there
Is it not possible that there's a legitimate tactical reason as to why he's being selected, and people are just refusing to acknowledge it?the elephant in the room, for me, is how and why he is selected, given Pep's reputation for ruthless pragmatism. My way or the highway, sums up his attitude to managing players. There is a sizable list of players he has treated this way. From outside looking in, ego and attitude being the factors rather than skill.
Is Pep trying to prove a point by continuing to select Raz?
Even a hat-trick against the buswreckers will not erase the performances of the recent past, too many unforced errors, too many times losing possession through poor ball-control, things that pure effort cannot atone for.
Imo for the lad's sake and the team's sake, a fresh start seems the best option.
Apart from a handful of haters on BM, the vast majority of us really want the lad to be successful, to go back a couple of pages and be what he once was.............f'kin matchwinner, if only eh....
Not saying he is but for the left he’s probably currently 3rd choice. As we don’t have a striker it’s a position up for grabs. Would prefer him on the right if anywhere with Jesus down the middle but that won’t be happening either.He is not a striker , it sets him up to fail month after month and wont get his form back playing there

Sterling never performs at Klanfield and just riles their support, he has'nt been anywhere near his best form for months and there is no sense in him starting the game , which obviously means Pep will play him :)

Fuck, that's got Milner written all over it.

His performance levels haven’t varied much for the last 18 months irrespective of what position he’s played in, and players as out of form (compared to what he’s capable of) as he’s been don’t tend to have much bargaining power in respect of the roles they’re handedHe is not a striker , it sets him up to fail month after month and wont get his form back playing there
