I think sterling best position is as a no 10 or as a wide forward . Attacking wise he as always struggled to play as a winger
Problem is we have Silva and KDB for those positions

That reads really well, but completely ignores the fact that not only is that not how we play (and have been playing for about three years now!) but suggests that Sterling WANTS to go outside....Newsflash: He doesn't....nor was he brought in to do that!Yes full backs go forward. It's ok to go forward and provide an option. However, the full back must choose when to overlap and when to hold a run. Koralov overlaps when he shouldn't, there was times today he choose to overlap when he should of left the space for sterling to run into. Not only did he take the space Sterling would of liked to use, he left City open to a counter attack.
You must be having a laugh. Do you think Kolarov just sprints down the line for fun, or do you think that is the game plan?
Have you ever played the game? You are talking about Chelsea and Hazard as if we are set up to play that way. We are not!
Maybe you could listen to some of the ex-players (pundits) who talk about Kolarov being the best left sided crosser of a ball in the league.
Clearly, I'm not going to change your mind about anything, let alone what the issue is down the left.
BTW, your "knowledge" of how Sagna-Zaba-Navas play doesn't aid your point at all.
I remember seeing him when he 1st broke into Liverpool's team, a couple of seasons before his breakthrough season when they won the league, my son reminded me that at the time I said he'd be playing for Portsmouth in 5 years time...
Let's face it, he had a great season two seasons ago in their great championship winning season, did nothing in the season before that, did piss all last season and has done zip all this season for us....yet somehow has been elevated to near Ronaldo/Messi status/potential.
Sadly, he's over rated...
he was our best attacker buy a mile today ,not saying much for the others
