Player Topic: Raheem Sterling (2015/16)

Just need him beating his man instead of passing sideways (the safe choice). Running past players and shooting was what made him dangerous at Liverpool.

Because Navas plays on the right.

Not for England he doesn't and Sterling has played on the left even when Navas hasn't started.

My point is that he should not play on the right for us as long as Navas is available. Where he plays for England has nothing to do with us.

I wouldn't play him on the left personally. I'd have Navas on the right, KDB on the left and Silva central behind Aguero when everyone is fit. It may be worth giving Sterling a go on the right to see if he can do the same job as Navas with better delivery but with our injuries at the moment it's almost certain that he'll be starting on the left with KDB central and Navas wide right.

This, all day long. Raheem will have to work hard to be guaranteed a starting spot.

Sterling should play as a second striker he's amazing at running in behind and he'd score a lot more like that one he got against Watford. Think In the long term that'd be his best position, he's definitely got the brain to play there just his shooting which will hopefully come in time.

I agree with all of it except him getting on the pitch ahead of Navas mate. Maybe he should be given a start on the right in the cup games.

It's a funny old world is football.

We were dominant at the start of the season when Sterling and Navas both offered us width and balance.

The losses came when brought KDB into the side. I'm not blaming Kev for the defeats as he has been our stand out player, but it's obvious including him at the expense of Navas or Sterling has unbalanced the team.

Then after the West Ham and Spurs game, Navas gets absolutely hammered on here for having no end product. Yet after two solid sub appearances, some think he should replace Sterling.

The 3 AMs pick themselves at the min. Sterling - KDB - Navas and let Sterling and KDB interchange.

Those 3 could be absolutely lethal on the counter attack.

Play him in the no10. He played there v Watford and ripped them apart, plus he can run in behind and be a perfect foil for Bony. De Bruyne can start on the left and come infield, Kolarov can provide the overlapping width, Navas provides us width on the right, and Yaya can provide us more support.

Would be the best bet with the options we have.

Media all over him after he was photoed smoking from a shisa pipe on a night out
