[The perfect fumble]

Brilliant.

Said it before, Palmer reminds me so much of Lakey, beautiful balance when running with the ball.

He's gonna make it with his eyes closed.

Sterling needs to focus on the team and forget about his selfishness to put things right by himself in front of goal.

A few years hopefully our 'first names' in midfield will be City fans....

Today God chose you. play like we dream.

Form is only temporary if you want it to be, he’s showing all the signs of downing tools to push for a move!

This screams of confirmation bias. He's doing more pressing and work off the ball than anyone else in the squad, which is not what someone downing tools does.

Raheem Sterling will be one of our most important players this season. Mark my words. His movement is exceptional. He drags defenders all over the show and creates so many chances. Form is temporary.

Oh for God sake give over. In his case form is permanent, Class was temporary.

I think it's easy to associate anything with 'pushing for a move'. I see a player who knows he's having a bad run of form and is trying too hard to turn things around. He's snatching at shots or shooting when there's a more obvious pass on. There's a lot of pressure to perform because we're hardly short of talent in his position.

He will come good though. He has so much experience, and even though it's an old cliche, the main thing is getting into the right positions, which he does consistently. The goals will come eventually.

God, it's like some City fans want him to fail.

23 goals in 2017/18, 25 goals in 18/19, 31 goals in 19/20.

Last season he was well on his way to 25+ goals again, until his downturn in form after Christmas. He picked up and was comfortably Englands best player in the Euros (and but for a few rags missing penalties would have been player of the tournament).

He is a quality player in a bad run of form.

I can't believe you have only just worked this out.

agreed on this.

His 20 odd mins last night he played well, and was alot better than others on saturday.

He just needs a few goals and boom he will be back

He has stated he fancies a move, hopefully City can accommodate him. Best for all concerned now.
