Player Topic: Raheem Sterling (2015/16)

[MeatHunterrr]

I all advise you to watch this lengthy clip of Raheem against all the prem teams in 13/14- he was in world class form imo

because Suarez made him look good and in the process Rodgers looked like tactical genius. Some player Suarez.

Sterling is doing fine imo. Always one of our better players irrespective of mistakes. Worst thing that could ever happen is that he stops trying stuff. He needs to do it more imo.

It's strange how Aguero, Silva etc have a different set of rules apply to them when it comes to shooting, passing, tracking back etc. Sterling is expected to actually be better than them & not make the mistakes they do.

Bizarre.

Shooting, SHOOTING, you thing he can shoot, he tries to pass the ball into net, Larry fucking Grayson springs to mind

Wheras everyone else has been finishing so much better & lethally burying all the chances which have come our way, that it really does need Sterling to be singled out.

most people will realise we have paid £25m more than sterling is actually worth , due to the fact we needed home grown players , and he is one of the best players england have (which doesnt say a lot) , we can keep on throwing the fee in his face , but at 20 years old , his sell on value will also be ridiculous because he is english. Hes a good young player who has to work at his shooting / finishing , he has loads of natural ability and desire , if he works at his game , and learns from the likes of Kun and merlin , and we get behind him , he will be fine

Think he needs a new song

I think people are picking holes where there aren't really many to be picked to be honest. Sterling always looks a threat and, yes, he may do things wrong at times with finishing not a strong suit, but I think he brings a new dimension to the attack. He's doing fine.

I don't think he's been singled out. Bony has been criticised as well as Navas for the same thing. Too many players missing chances.

I aint gonna slate him,but what did they actually teach him at Liverpool,just to run ?

Finishing is poor,can't tackle but things will improve at our place during training surely,I bloody hope so @ 49m anyway

A sad indictment of the state of English football fans

That just about sums it up for me.

Yes, Bony is also not allowed to make mistakes, same with Navas. If Aguero & Silva fail to shoot accurately or miss chances, they get a free pass because of their previous exploits.

Imo you would expect them to be performing at a much higher level than Sterling or Bony, or Navas, because they are proven better players. But if they don't, the main topic is how Navas, Bony, Sterling should have won us the game instead.

Bony & Sterling in particular, deserve plenty of leeway imo. They are new to the team.

If Aguero was anywhere near his best, we would be clear at the top of the league & have 3 points in the Champs Lg. His is bobbins.

Sterling doesn't even deserve a mention, he is doing fine.
