Raheem Sterling - 2016/17 performances

[schfc6]

I feel Sterling has been better during the CL this year, he shows flashes in the league but he seems to run defenders ragged in Europe, tonight, Barcelona,etc. I hope he can play that level more consistently, with him Sane and Jesus running at defenses it's a scary proposition

It's because against decent and good European teams actually want to play. That leaves him space. Pace and directness without space is Navas...

Sterling is class, he gets more chance to show that in Europe.

Growing into the player I always had faith he would do. Snip at £49 million.

It's because European games are open, 2 almost equal teams playing each other, so he gets space to show us what he can do.

Hard to do that in the league when the opposition puts 11 men behind the ball, certainly part of his game he'll look to work on.

Best performance in a blue shirt , everytime he got the ball he took their defenders on , he's quite good when he gets angry

Great tonight.
Starting to look the player we all thought he'd become.

 

[Gaylord du Bois]

We've a good record in games where he scores. Just sayin'.

Outstanding tonight. As much as there left fullback did ok going forward Sterling was beating him for fun going the other way and we should have tried to expose this more often. Nice to have quick forwards who will look to beat people.

Attacks the far post. Can't explain enough how much I love that he actually attacks the far post. So many goals to be had from doing that and he's the only one in our entire squad who does. Had a great game tonight, he's not got the on the ball skills of Sane but his off the ball work is top quality, constantly making threatening runs into the right areas and he's improving with his little through balls down the sides of defenders like for the Aguero goal.

Been good all season, good again. Work rate got us our second goal too. Good lad.
