I thought he did well today - but he was helped by being up against a CB playing as a RB. Personally think he will be a good player for us. Want to see him playing with Silva, KDB and Aguero.
 
Would gaining few muscles kill his pace? He is so easily pushed off the ball in 50-50 challenges, just isn't strong enough to see anyone off with his body.
 
There's so many times where he makes clever runs and is clean through but the more senior players choose to be greedy cunts and not give him the ball. I personally think he'd score a lot more if they just passed it to him when he's through.
 
I thought Raheem did brilliantly for the first goal.

He could easily have tried his luck and had a shot, but was alive to KdB's presence and squared for GK to have a simple tap-in.

Sterling is learning and improving all the time. He's already a much better player than the one who left Klanfield in the Summer and will continue to develop under a positive, attack-minded manager with world-class players around him.
 
Had a good first hour but started losing it second half, running down blind alleys and losing the ball. But did really well for the first goal
 
Thought he did ok today some good things he did well but some things didn't quite work but Having said that he was effective as he was directly involved with two goals so his decision making was better, good assist for the first and then good awareness on the edge of the area when he squared it to KDB when normally he would have tried a shot so that's positive.
 
A lot better from Sterling today .
That was more like his form in August .
Great set up for Kevin De Bruyne .

He has amazing strength for his size if you watch him closely, he falls over to gain free kicks but isn't very good at it
 
Think if we allow him to play his natural game and get men in the box quickly he will thrive on it instead of cutting back and going through the six passes to yaya syndrome we bought him for his pace let's use it
