As a fan of Sterling as a player, sad to see the people on a Man City forum lining up to slate him after a single sub-par performance since November. Unfortunately Sterling will always be underrated by most English fans and I believe this is subconsciously related to how the press portrayed him early on in his career. However you would expect better support from his own club's fans.
In terms of his supposed poor finishing, it isn't borne out by the evidence (think about this next time you call him a "poor finisher" and why that might be...):
Since 2017-18 (since xG data available covering nearly 12,000 mins) he has 0.53 non-penalty goals per 90 from a non-penalty xG per 90 of 0.48
Fact is there is a strong correlation between number of goals and big chances missed - this season Salah has the most big chances missed in the league and last season he was joint second. Positioning is far more important than "finishing" (
