Had his full back on toast second half, leading to him getting booked and substituted, and grew more and more as the game went on.

Just needs to get at players the way Navas did when he came on. He looks too scared of losing the ball sometimes.
 
Twice Aguero was a greedy Kun and refused to play Sterling in; not saying he would have finished them, but being ignored like that won't have helped his confidence.

Good performance but still playing with the handbrake on.

Spot on.

Sterling made a perfect run from deep on two occasions and Kun completely ignored him. Sterling was also a lot more direct tonight, he drew a few fouls in and beat his man on a few occasions. Also, that pass to Kun in the first 5 mins was perfect.

Overall it was a good and encouraging performance from the lad.
 
He has had more good games than bad ones so far which for a 20 year old playing in a new team is quite an achievement. Granted he was overpriced but we knew that when we signed him.
 
Feels like there is a lot more to come form him. After he scored against Watford he looked confident and was taking people on. The potential is there, he just needs to stop taking the easy option.
 
I feel there's a psychological issue at play a bit at the moment. Things aren't coming off for him, you can see the disappointment in his face, and he's starting to take the safe option a bit too much. He needs a MOTM performance, maybe a couple of goals, a bit of a feature on Match of the Day maybe, to up his confidence.
