Media persecution of Raheem Sterling

[willipp]

I think its probably only fair to judge Southgate at the end of the tounament. I have a feeling that even if Raheem doesn't start tomorrow (which in no way is a disaster for the lad in a tournament with at least two more important games fast approaching) then he will a. come on as sub and probably make a good impact when panama are tired and b. will play significant time in the remaining bigger fixtures to come.

Southgate doesn't seem to me to be one to bow to media pressure and has been doing his own thing. Might do Raheen the world of good coming on for 20 minutes against a tired poor side and running them ragged.

As the replies say, the "flashy and cocky" image was created by that bellwhiff and the media.

Good to see not everyone is brainwashed into hating Sterling.

What a terrific story and written with great honesty and charm by Raheem. He has so many admirable qualities - loyalty, a sense of humour, some degree of wisdom, and strength of character to keep things in perspective.

I'll be honest and admit there were many elements of his background I wasn't aware of. The fate of his father and the struggles of his mother in particular.

He's a fantastic young man and a great representative of this club. I feel proud that he is part of the City family.

Excellent write up.

Fabregas said last night that he should start as Rashford only offers something as an impact player coming off the bench and doesn't show up when he starts

People booing Raheem should be ashamed of themselves

Nice thought but I think you underestimate the mentality of that particular type of individual .................................it includes dippers and " its never their fault ".
