Should have more time playing on the right so he doesn't have Kolarov running into his space all game

Shite player, offers absolutely nothing.

We've played Aguero on that basis for approaching 4 years and he's done alright with it

You might be a smart fella when it comes to some things, but clearly football isn't one of them!

What's the point in having him if Pellegrini just makes him stop and wait for Kolarov to overlap so he can pass back?

Feel like I have signed on to a Comedy Forum!!

Sterlings game isn't, nor has it ever been, getting down the left flank and crossing the ball with his left peg. Was this your first game, mate?

Correct

Oh dear.

He's not very good at passing or shooting. Hmmm.

Kolarov is there to provide him an option. If he could cut inside and beat a player, then Kolarov would not be an issue. However, Sterling seems unable to get the ball out from under his feet and is making it easy for the defenders to dispossess him or simply take him out of the play. Looks to me like his confidence has taken a knock, possiblybevause he realizes he is in a squad that is at a different level than he was at with the Dippers.

Our problem on the left is definitely NOT Kolarov!
