Media persecution of Raheem Sterling

Fair point but I don't think it's best practice to be chopping and changing formation based on opposition. Some tweaks would make more sense to me, for example last night Sterling should've been given a freer role to drop deep and wide to link play with Kane more central as a lone striker.
Yeah i think he can do a lot better if given the right role in the team. Just seemed to be totally snuffed out of the game last night. All those dangerous positions he gets into for City and England in previous few games, he just got nowhere near that area last night.

Yep, didn’t have a single shot at goal last night.
 
Sterling will always be the fall guy for the media, he could score a hat trick in this World Cup but some twat would pick up on yeah but he gave the ball away, it won't change anytime soon I'm afraid.
 
His passing, movement and scoring abilities are excellent. You think he wouldn't dislodge what we currently have?

Dislodge Aguero or Jesus? Is that a serious question? He wouldn't be able to keep up with City's football.

Fwiw i think he's a fantastic number 9, he would slot into most teams easily, perfectly suited to traditional English football, would fit well in Italy or Germany too but would struggle in Spain.

Yep - taking the blue specs off for one minute, that is a serious question.
Kun is getting on and is more and more off the pace and Jesus - well, can see glimmers of talent but not entirely sure what he is. I know on here he's the new Pele.
Also a myth that Kane isn't quick.

Nothing to do with blue specs, infuriating how much that gets thrown around on this forum.

Like I said, i don't believe he would fit, Aguero and Jesus do because they're better footballers.
 
Bet the players and Southgate love Sterling in the squad because we play shit the spotlight is always on Sterling not the squad members.
For all we know that may be the agreed plan. Perhaps Southgate and Sterling have had that chat and Sterling for all we know may be happy with it as he knows he is going to get it in the press no matter what. So long as he has the full support of all the squad and the management who cares what is written about him if it keeps the spotlight and pressure of the collective? Just an idea, but we dont know. If that is the plan, it is a pretty sensible mature decision

I think the chances we create in and around the box would be a dream for someone like Kane. He is a great finisher and he'd have a field day for us i think. Thats not taking anything away from Kun or Gab, just that Kane would thrive in this team with his finishing in the box.
