Media persecution of Raheem Sterling

[jimmygrimblesboots]

Not sure anyone has said Sterling is the finished article on this thread , we have just the one poster twisting the facts to suit his agenda , his finishing is the obvious flaw but 20 odd premier laegue goals as a wide player is hardly derisory , and the thread is about the media witch hunt that Raheem has suffered since leaving the Dippers , we know he doesnt produce his club form for Southgate and its frustrating , but when the media mention Rashford in the same sentence as RS then you really have got to laugh , there is no comparison. Our Tommy boy is either thick skinned or just thick , when you have been schooled on a thread so many times and you come back for more , then the intelligence has to be questioned.

I value him a lot more for city than I do England where he had an incredible season. Playing with us suits him having better players around him making the most of his best asset which is his movement. Being balanced enough to say when he’s had a bad game or not look completely stupid and deluded to defend him on every occasion regardless of the situation doesn’t mean I don’t value him.

Many on here believe he can do no wrong because of the uncalled for shit he gets in the media, that’s admirable to stick up for one of our own until the end, you just lose credibility in any football opinion if you can’t see his flaws also. Have a great Friday. X

Hi Tom, still waiting.

Just about sums it all up for me. Exactly as I saw it.

Me too. Southgate should be getting stick for deciding to defend for 20 minutes, taking off a winger, pulling Kane into midfield and going one up front with Vardy.

Fucking hell, you must hate the lad if you want him to walk through Liverpool with a million in cash.

Yeah, they'd probably mug him and the poor lad would be stood there, in the middle of Stanley Park, with a million quid in his back pocket and no trainers!

If that’s a reference to being a sheep you’re very much mistaken. Is there a reference for being a biased deluded blue? If so insert here.

Simple. It's @Tom_mcfc . Surprised you didn't look in the mirror - it was that obvious!

This thread was supposed to be about the media and their treatment of Raheem. Instead its just turned into a daily repeat of Tom_mcfc spouting the same message every day, nothing about the media and people responding with the same messages trying really hard not to call him a cock. Would be best all round if this thread was just closed down.

I don't see how it would even be possible for him to replicate anything like his club form in this England team. Of course he can play better than he has done but you look at the players around him and the way they are set up and there is a pretty low ceiling on how any of the England front players are going to be able to perform imo - short of going on some kind of Maradona-esque run and taking on an entire defence. Add to that the unnecessary pressure put on him in particular, due to the extra levels of scrutiny that are ONLY put on him and you are only going to get what we are currently seeing - a player trying his best and doing reasonably well in a difficult role in the team but looking short on confidence at times. The only way he is likely to turn this around is to hit one in from 30 yards but then he tried that a couple of times the other night and the shots were blocked which resulted in the usual response from the sheep. So he can't really win.

Nothing is twisted, every poster on here picks and chooses what they want to defend him. They move the goalposts and somehow find new and wonderful ways to turn poor performances into good ones. Stats is your best one, if he has a bad game for City but bags a goal (see Bournemouth away) and you point it out then you are crucified and it is demanded you look at his numbers. You ask why no one mentions his England numbers and everyone plays dumb or all of a sudden no longer wish to use stats as any supporting evidence. People have differing opinions which is perfectly fine, I always say as long as you're consistent in your logic there is no problem, the second you change your thought process to suit an argument you lose any credibility. Look at the stick Lingard has got in here for missing chances, he was accused of "messing up" by different posters in here the other night because of the chances missed. Sterling misses them chances and nothing but his movement is praised. I have said it many times now but be fair on all. I defend Sterling off here with mates and stuff if they are unfair on him like the other night, I also can see his flaws especially in his England games. There is a fair bit of delusion around the lad which I imagine fans from other clubs would laugh at looking in, bordering on Liverpool behaviour. Cultish

Pretty true, although after every (average) performance it is the same people repeating the same shite and trying to find any angle to suggest he was amazing.

Hi Tom, still waiting.

Sorry mate what you waiting on? I'm in demand sadly.

The only person who has lost credibility is use with your OTT hatred of Sterling anyone who cheers a substitution of a player like it was a goal loses any chance to criticise others

It was a joke in response to someone saying I cheered when he missed his open net (not for the first time) keep repeating it as factual though, you are more than welcome.
