#7 | Raheem Sterling - 2021/22 Performances

[BlueTG]

Great signing. Contributed a lot to our success. But the great players Ya Ya , De Bruyne , Kompany etc perform against top opposition. Sterling sadly never does. I stand to be corrected but I can’t think of a major contribution in a semi final,final or league decider. (Apart from winning penalty v Chelsea). You may argue there may be other City players you could say the same about but he’s been with us for some time

Didn’t he score a hat trick in an FA cup final?

Yeah, the 5th and 6th goal vs Watford and a goal he stole from Gabby. Scored 0 goals in 25 games vs United. 2 in 20+ vs Liverpool. (Our 2 biggest games of the season) He's genuinely the luckiest footballer alive to get rated as high as he is (friends in the media). Nearly every goal is a tap in, or a scuffed finish against A Burnley or Norwich. Tactically a very important player because his movement is out of this world but Technique wise (first touch, passing, finesse, shooting) worse than any senior attacking player in the top 6.

if we want to evolve into a lasting truly world class team we cant have players that contantly bottle it in front of goal.
bench player maybe but he wont settle for that.
hes been a good player for us but our expectations exceed his ability and its time for him to leave.
if he gets to stay with a new improved contract ill be amazed.

Yeah, sadly I agree.
A couple of years ago I seriously thought with his movement and energy I thought he could turn into another Messi but his bad choices when we have a chance of goal have ,if anything, got worse. And he constantly stuffs up good chances.
That free kick on Saturday was abysmal.
I now want him to move on. I'd like to see us get our fee back at least. He has become a very willing but frustrating player and hasn't developed into a good enough forward for us.
We need a bit of a clear out.

If you thought Sterling could ever get to Prime Messi level, there's something wrong with you Sir. That might be the worst thing I've ever read in any forum, ever.

I like Raheem but we’ve reached the end of the road.

Him and Jesus need fucking off in the summer.

Sterling is not a natural footballer imo , he is someone who has great pace who has been coached to play football , his first touch is atrocious , when City do get a break his decision making often results in him running into a dead end , still Pep must see something i personally do not see . :(

Stop being such an unfriendly dick.
I meant I thought he could be a world class player one day.
Why are people such twats on here sometimes ?

7 posts and each one of them denigrating one City player or another. I like a good moan as much as the next man, but you're starting to make my nostrils twitch........
