Media persecution of Raheem Sterling

[BlueMoonz1977]

Just watched the morning news and the selfish attitude of kane and that timid attempt by lingaard were shocking

Really disappointed with kane after that, even when sterling got subbed and replaced with rashford who offered absolutely zilch, kane went missing

He is not captain material

Just listening to bbc news now and the reporter has stated that our first goal was born out practise born on the training ground......well how about kane being a selfish twat surely we should be practising putting the free man in the box through to score a tap in especially when it was a World Cup semi final

Saint Harry is immune from criticism. He was dogshit, but for some reason, it's usually Sterling's fault. Plenty on here seem to think he's some kind of world class player. He's not.

Yep...not buying this over achieved line being towed....we beat teams that in all honesty we should be tipped to beat in a friendly let alone the world cup. This was a gilt edged chance to get to the final.

Croatia being the first team with form. We should have been 2-0 up at half time

105 league goals in 4 years suggests he’s pretty close to being world class

The commentator said it was to try a different tactical option - that really worked didn't it? We went from having a bit of a chance to buggar all chance.

It was an admission that we had stopped playing the way we wanted to. We had no control so he brought Rashford on to run in behind and win balls, which he did poorly.

Have the media acknowledged it was a mistake to sub Sterling off? If any other substitution had that effect in a match there'd be no question whether it got a mention, if not become a focal point of discussion.

According to yet another cockney cretin on Talkshite, it's all Walker's fault.

For the sloppy clearance? He did well to get in the way of the cross with tired legs, Maguire did that in the first half without as much pressure and with fresh legs... Hoddle and Clive said "England being a bit careless at the back" or something like that... I love that, when it's player they don't want to criticise it's an "England" mistake. :)

He wasn't amazing this tournament but he caused defences way more problems than any of our other attacking players. Seems like, just as with the Euros, the poor contributions of Alli and Kane will be erased from history. Maybe Kane was a little bit deprived of service but the one big chance he did have he fluffed. Sterling was nowhere near our worst performer at this tournament. Part of me wants him to sack it all off and let the actual poor performers get the scrutiny they deserve.

The nation's obsession with Rashford over Sterling needs to stop. Rashford didn't show anything when given an opportunity to suggest he's a better option than Sterling right now. Mourinho clearly isn't convinced either.

Taking Sterling off was a weird decision to me as Lingard just doesn't have the stamina to last extra time. That much was obvious in the Colombia game.

Hope our own fans can get behind him this season. He's a 23 year old kid who we see jeered and bullied by other fans week in week out for literally no reason and it's been going on for years. Its pretty shocking when you think about it. It's unbelievable when our own fans question his mental toughness when you think about the shit he gets non stop. He's one of the mentally toughest players we have and made a massive contribution last season.
