Sterling isn’t playing well. He didn’t play well against Brighton and was poor at Norwich and yesterday. He was rotated last week and Bernardo scored a hat trick in that position and he did a lot more than just wing play in his general game than Sterling does on the left.
But I think with the lack of movement to create space for the winger from Zinchenko, that’s the main reason why Sterling isn’t playing well. But Sané can create space for himself. He’d get games on the left for us at the moment as Bernardo can play in the middle as well like he did at Preston when Garcia came on.
Remember, Leroy had the best minutes to goals/assists in our squad last season.
