So Robben, Ronaldo, Busquets, Suarez, Bale, Dybala and Neymar don't have the skill to beat a man? Pull the other one.
I agree with you, it's disgusting to watch a blatant dive but there's a difference between sticking your foot into a defender as you pass before performing somersaults and taking advantage of a clumsy, mistimed challenge.
I'm not saying Sterling hasn't got a track record of going down easily, I just think the criticism this time is bollocks.
One trait that endeared me to Shaun Wright-Phillips is that he'd get sent flying and just bounce up off the floor and carry on. I hope this is something Sterling starts doing because, as @Neville Kneville pointed out with those links, he's not going to experience the same fortune with us as he did at Liverpool.
Well it would be nice if they showed it don't you think?
I wasn't talking about this instance as i haven't seen it. It seems like we agree & your right it was great seeing Sweep bounce around like he was made of toughened rubber.
