His entry helped us today.Sterling does not deserve a position on the field.
Correct apart from you seem to have fallen for the myth amongst the so called England experts in the summer that Foden can’t run in behind. He can and did yesterday. Sterling was much better yesterday because as you say there was space for him to run in behind and use his pace. The problem for him is the vast majority of teams don’t leave any space when playing us.He wants to run in behind, and the defenders have to deal with that. With Foden or Grealish there, they always want to come short to the ball and Van Dijk and Matip were able to push up at will with zero threat in behind.
Even though we had more control in the first half, we had more of an actual threat when he came on because he creates space with his running
