It's a football forum thing mate. You're only as good as your last game etc. Messi could have a stinker and you're guaranteed somewhere up and down the country someone would start a thread: 'Was Messi really that good?' - off that one game.So is no one here still of the opinion that 2 shit games under the worst manager england has had in 20 years don't actually negate how good he's been the entire season, finished top goalscorer & top assists with a team that finished 7th?
I would still absolutely love harry kane at city and couldn't care less how shit he's looked for england. Think about how ineffective foden was yesterday, does he look like that for city? Absolutely not, because we actually have a decent manager. Take a deep breath.
Sterling needs a fresh start possibly in Europe maybe SpainThe elephant in the room for me continues to be Sterling, because I think we need to contemplate a sale at the earliest opportunity.
Just my opinion, I have celebrated his goals and achievements with City just like everybody else, so not a statement to knock him, respectful of his time with us.
I have been watching him closely for the last 18 months or so since an obvious downturn in form.
I had put it down to fatigue and being overplayed, resulting in a lack of confidence.
However, I am seeing worrying signs it might be because he has actually peaked?
He was knocking on the first team door at the age of 15 and is more like 30 in playing years.
Raheem always had that spark which took him beyond his marker inside the first three or four yards, but he has lost his raw pace in my opinion.
It has made him indecisive and impacted his decision making.
The contract situation is a dilemma, but there is a point when it needs to be asked if he justifies being retained for another four or five years, never mind a regular starting place in the City team?
Raheem wouldn't be the first wonderkid to find his powers waning a little earlier than his age would suggest?
I always felt Michael Owen peaked at 22, he was absolutely electric beforehand, but his pace deserted him due to injuries.
Rooney hit 27 and the writing was obvious he wasn't the same player.
Perhaps we might even be seeing it with Kane?
All these guys have played a lot of football before their mid-20s.
As I say, merely for the topic of debate, I personally fear we may have already had the best of Raheem and was interested what other Blues felt, without it becoming a vilification of a player who has served us very well?
err....no we don't.Sterling needs a fresh start possibly in Europe maybe Spain
He cut a frustrating figure again last night although both fullbacks were fucking shit offering England absalute 0
Both City & Raheem need something new I don't see City paying him anymore than he's on he doesn't deserve it
Sterling will always be blamed for the bad results it follows him about No 1 scape goat yet wasn't the worst player last night & in Champions League final
We have to keep Bernardo & sell both Sterling & Jesus imo whether it's Grealish & Kane or Grealish & Haaland we need it to happen
Robertson stood on his foot. The commentator here in Sweden was baffled - "that was a penalty. Robertson trod on his foot."

Think your find Robertson did stand on sterling's foot.Except he didn't. Sterling tripped himself up.
Houssem Aouar available for 20m this summer, we would be mad not to try for him. Arsenal sniffing
Except he didn't. Sterling tripped himself up.
Sorry guys - lots of other threads to repeat this discussionI have to assume you've never had someone tread on your foot while you're dribbling a ball.
