I've forgotten more about playing football than you will ever know, mate. Next you will be telling me you know more about it than Pelle, too?
Hahahahahaha! You the third Chuckle Brother? Wondering why you are so insecure that you feel the need to say dumb shit like that? I couldn't give a fuck what you say, or about what, but when you start talking about football, you might want to be a tad more careful, especially on this particular issue, lest you continue to look like the chump you just made of yourself!

You obviously care so little given the fact all your toys are now scattered on the floor.

Incidentally, sterling didn't do so bad did he, creating both penalties and winning us the match. The only reason he didn't start was a tight hamstring that limited his training last week.

Jog on, there may be some rounders on or an unarmed teen that may need shooting.

Because he plays on the left, he is used to cutting inside. The pass was outside of his right, or curl it with his left, 10-15 ahead of the two forwards who were open in the middle. As you said, either lacks the confidence to make that pass, or thought he could get more (for himself?) by cutting inside onto his right. As you stated, slowed the play, stopped the momentum of the breakaway, and made him look bad.

However, he earned two penalties in a cameo, so it is hard to say he was not an "impact" sub. I'm hoping that the penalty rotation was Sergio, Yaya and then Kolarov, which is why he took it. If not, then surely this is what the Captain is for? Sterling wanted it, Bony wanted it, Kolarov took it. I doubt he will be taking another, but given Bony's shooting in the game, I'm glad he didn't take it, either! Hell, I'd like to have seen Navas take it! He can't buy a goal, so it might have been nice for him to get one!!!

He could've opened up his body and played it with the inside of his right foot, inside the defender, or flicked it with the outside of his right around the outside of the defender. The left foot excuse is a very very weak one.

It wasn't a hard pass to play even on your weaker foot, IMO. Unless you're a Navas and your left is no good for even getting on the bus.

Expect much, much more from Sterling. That was a glaring moment, and you have to recognise chances like that rather than blowing them.

That said, he did have an impact when he came on. Just need to see much more from him at the moment, IMO. Improvement needed.
 
Raheem obviously did well to win the second penalty and I'm annoyed he didn't have the opportunity to take it but in future, I'd love to see him lash that ball across the keeper and into the back of the net as soon as he cuts inside. Had Brady not made such a stupid challenge, the chance would have nearly been gone because of Raheem's hesitiation
 
I would like to see him on the right where he can have his body between the opposition and the ball, either that or centrally which is where all of his goals have come in the league so far I think.

For me he was at his most effective centrally behind Suarez and Sturridge in a 4-4-2 diamond at Liverpool.
