I was at Etihad Stadium on Saturday when Raheem Sterling blasted a good chance over against Watford. You should have heard how many fans around me were groaning and shouting 'useless' or 'get him off'.

A good chance ? It was an absolute sitter and as usual his technique wasn't good enough.

Yes it was a sitter and a point I made previously was that with his talent and experience he’s really got to at least get it on target because every game is a must win for us and chances need to be taken.
However at 3-1 up after some lovely football, to be shouting “useless , get him off” sounds like a cretin. That’s not a natural reaction at 3-1 up.
Anyway, it’s not a bad article in my view but not sure why it is aired on the eve of a crucial CL game?
Similar with the press conference with Raheem today. What a bunch of fucking nasty wankers asking shite questions about new contracts, leaving, not always playing regularly - on the eve of a massive CL game.
The dippers really ate treated differently both off and on the pitch - they might have asked one question like this to Salah but not the whole bloody conference.

I agree with some of what you say. Up to missing that chance I was impressed with Raheem's performance. He'd been running with purpose, holding it up well and causing them a lot of problems. However that miss is fairly typical of his level of finishing over the last 2 seasons. What if that chance had been at 0-0 ? Or had been on 88 minutes when we desperately needed a goal when we were drawing ? He does offer more than just goals, I get that - but that chance was on a plate (from Jesus's assist) and he blazed it way over.

This is from BBC today …..

“Earlier this season PGMOL apologised to Everton after they were denied a penalty in their 1-0 defeat by Manchester City despite midfielder Rodri appearing to use his hand to control the ball.”

Tell a lie often enough and it becomes the truth.

I noticed the use of the word ‘hand’ too.
No excuse for that. It is either lazy writing or blatantly biased or both.
 
Maybe this is me being a bit pedantic but has anyone else noticed that when a city story concerns Pep, the story is usually accompanied with a picture of Pep with his hands on his head. Sky website the latest ones , not done with any intention of demeaning his achievements though, no way
