“I remember my first day here after signing,” he says, looking around at the training ground. “I was driving in thinking: ‘This is the place, this is the place you want to work every day.’”
 
I know it's probably a moot point because we have Silva and De Bruyne who can both play there but does anyone else think that Sterling's best position is actually No 10? I feel like we are limiting his game by playing him on the wing. He has 2 options: play a safe pass back to Kolarov or cut inside and pass to Silva. He doesn't seem confident enough to try and beat his man whereas if he played more centrally he could just run at defences and choose whether to go left or right. In the 2nd half against Watford he looked a constant danger and the opposing defenders looked scared of him. Obviously he is not on Messi's planet right now but that is who he reminds me of from the little I have seen him playing as a number 10 for us and for Liverpool. I don't think we are seeing the best of him because he doesn't have as much license to express himself. I am hoping that the more time Sterling, Silva and De Bruyne play together and gain an understanding they will all be able to interchange seamlessly through the match so that we can see the best of all 3. Could be a deadly front 4 if we get it right.
He doesn't, yet, have the quality of passing to be a regular #10.
 
Will have to improve his finishing if he wants a regular spot in this side when everyone is fit.
A pass mark maybe just so far.
 
Interesting articles this morning being surprised at the step up in quality. This will all rub off on him he will also start to step up and be a more complete player. We must stop coaching out of him the ability to run at defences and wait for the overlap. Want to see him running at those defences in the area causing all kinds of panic.

Had the highest rate of taking a player on in europe last season, he needs to fuck our tactics off and starting using his iniative.

Something else for the Liverpool fans to get offended at.
Nice interview that. Raheem comes across as a very honest and surprisingly humble young man.
 
great idea,and whilst we are at it get everyone to fuck off our tactics and play their own game
Touche.

If you have the talent then flaunt it for all to see.

We are ineffectual when we go into our shells and play slow build up possession football.
