Play them both! Alli is woefully out of form and has been all season. Sterling was dynamite against Italy when played behind the front players. Give Rashford the 10 role and play Raheem deeper in the 8. Mind you, Rashford will probably get in his way.
Play Sterling in an opposition shirt, Rashford would pass more to him then.........

Good plan then sterling can receive the ball and find a way to lose it himself.

Of course they do but for whatever reason they fail to mention it, and whether Tom_mcfc thinks it's a fact, his and Lingards mistakes are totally over looked, same for Phil the face too, that pass early into the game last night which was blasted towards TAA that went out for a throw in was ridiculous yet fuck all was said. I couldn't make my mind up if he was trying a shot he hit it that hard!!

Are you a dickhead on purpose ?
Two issues at play here
1. Yes the media have it in for Sterling, that's pretty much agreed by everyone. The reasons are debatable (Race, leaving Liverpool, going to City, being rich - probably a bit of all of this
2. Should he play for England.
Based on him as a player he'd start for me as I think he's one of the best English players in the PL.
However I don't really care about England so as a City fan should he play?
Personally I think not, the confidence issue about being dropped is likely to be less than when he's blamed for England get knocked out.
Put a MU, Spurs or Liverpool player in they are so much better. They become the media darling for a year or two before people realise they are not great. Remember Liverpool didn't need Sterling they had Jordan Ibe he's better than Sterling. Rashford the greatest youth player since Wellbeck, or Ravel Morrison or whoever looks good in their academy. Play Rashford let the media love them and build them up, so MU keep playing them and telling themselves that next year they will finish above them.
Meanwhile our rubbish players can keep winning Trophies and setting records. A regular starter in one of the best league teams of all time, is not as good as Rashford or Ali or Lingard or Jordan fucking Ibe.

I am sick of hearing people questioning Sterling’s mentality.
All I am saying
Is give Raz a chance.
Pardon the bold, my machine is having a bad day.
