He already is close to world class. And this season hes been our best player and of the best wingers in the league. Still only 22 yo but despite that you dont thinks hes good enough?
You've got to be kidding. He's much improved on last season, but his touch and judgement are still way too inconsistent for him to be considered even close to world class. The number of times he's put clean through and makes a pig's ear of it is way higher than it should be. Like I say he's been way better than last season and he's unquestionably a decent asset for us, but he's been far from our best. I''d say Silva, Ya Ya and KDB are way ahead of him on that score

He's already more than good enough for us. And improving.
Hmmmmm. Is he better than last season? Undoubtedly. Is he better than he was 3 seasons ago? No.

What evidence are people basing this on? Seriously.
He had a great 1st month, along with the whole team. Since then he has been more miss than hit. Someone said to me today that I was being harsh and look at his performance against Arsenal. I pointed out that was over a month ago.
He cost £44m and while that isn't his fault he has to start producing on a regular basis like he did at the start of the season. One good game every five games just doesn't cut the mustard at this level.

Still don't think he has reached the heights he reached for the dippers, for us.

Yup, have the same feeling.Still don't think he has reached the heights he reached for the dippers, for us.
Sterling was decent. No less no more. Could have had a hat trick and could've created another two assist. He often makes a lot of mistakes for not reading the games properly and making wrong choices. But he will improve and is already much better than last year.
He reads the game brilliantly, that's why he keeps popping up with the ball in places where people think he might score.
You don't find yourself in those positions if you don't read the game well.
He's also always been very good at reading it defensively too, seeing danger and getting back to help out, sometimes before the back 4 has cottoned on.
I can understand criticism of his finishing but not this, it's just lazy criticism and completely rubbish.

Everytime I see him fluff his lines, or choose the wrong option, I can't help but think he'd have buried it for that lot. Don't know what it is.
