Not good today along with the rest of them

Here's just three. There's plenty more.

The point is in my opinion (and this is a discussion forum after all) Sterling shouldn't be a priority target because he's a bang average player with a poor mental attitude.

Who we should be after to fill a quota? My opinion but not one single English footballer is good enough to be in any of the world's best sides.

If Sterling was a random French footballer playing his football for a comparable side to Liverpool (Lyon?) In ligue 1 I very much doubt we'd be bidding anything higher than 15m for his signature. On the contrary, if Firmino was an Englishman he'd be the best player since sliced bread (who was a very good player btw, really versatile).

Can't believe we would rather pay 50m for Sterling than 25m for Firmino, makes no sense

To be fair you also said that Firmino is better than De Bruyne, so you know, win some lose some.

Bad game but better than the rest of the starters bar De Bruyne and Aguero.

I would bench him for a bit maybe

Wasn't great but was one of a few that tried I thought. He will be as pissed off as most of us as he will have wanted to shove it back down Liverpool fans throats.

I don't understand the focus on Sterling. He wasn't amazing (can't imagine why he didn't shoot on the open goal in 2nd half), but I thought he was one of the better players today by some distance. I'm more concerned about how Mangala has regressed since he got here, and Kompany can't stay healthy. The centerback pairing must be straightened out.

We also need to give KDB a rest. He's worn out. In any case, Sterling was the least of our problems today. Along with Hart.

He has been a passenger for so many games over the past few months....looks a shadow of his former self.

Made it....stop working perhaps.

Runs about like a paris fucking model, 40 odd million, my arse. !

Liverpool fan here.

I think youre finding out what we were telling you when you bought him but were dismissed for being bitter.

Sterling obviously has potential but he is lacking a lot and nowhere near a finished article which makes the £50 million seem crazy.

His problems we mentioned are the same as what you fans are also now saying - final ball, crossing, finishing, shooting. He looks good on the ball, he dribbles around, but the end product is suspect.

The example that is often used was his performance for England vs Italy in the world cup, he looks dangerous on the ball, but didnt actually do anything in the game, if that makes sense.

Don't forget that £44 million is because he's English, he was a £20 million player at the most but the stupid rules mean we have to pay over the odds for English players.
