yes, technically he is just so bad. wonder what Pep's opinion about him for someone who had Ronaldinho, Messi, Xavi, Iniesta as players or some other great ones as team mates in the 90s, what he really thinks when Sterling cannot control a simple ball so often during games.
he does make up with his pressing, positioning skills with this more often than not, but still ball bounces off him way too often. and its not like his technique is improving despite the players he can watch since years in training.
imagine him with the technique of T. Henry.
