Raheem Sterling - 2016/17 performances

[BillyShears]

He has been our best player this year. Been very good all season when others form has wobbled.

Spot on.

It's noticeable at the ground too, we had a sloppy period of around 5 minutes the other night when we were chasing the game, several players lost possession through underhit passes or poor control but the only one greeted with a very audible groan was Sterling, I just don't get it.

I get it. But I get harangued whenever I post the reason so I won't post it. Everyone with eyes and ears and a functioning brain who isn't caught up in some kind of tribal football bullshit knows why Sterling gets a certain kind of treatment from the media and from segments of our own support.

I'm not so sure it is that mate, although I'm not ruling it out. Id be more inclined to think the Liverpool media mafia have got into their heads and planted a subconscious bias in there.

Haha. Yeah maybe. Whatever it is it's fucking daft. This lot will still be slagging him off when he makes the Balon d'or shortlist!

I have thought he had the potential but fair play to @BillyShears who was as sure as night follows day, that Sterling would flourish and become a key player. His views never wavered.

Neither did mine...albeit with the proviso he was given a right sided role to enable him to use his more effective right foot.Now that his confidence is up,Sterling can play effectively on both flanks,altho imo noticeably more destructive on the right.
The same also,imo,applies to Sane.it appears with both our fleet footed wide players that the right amount of confidence installing,high quality coaching input has enabled them both to now switch wings during games and confuse and terrorise defences further.
Would be interesting to know if any other top European team has two wide players who can switch wings so effectively during games..

Yardie bro, innit (;

Institutionalised bollocks... The same people think trump is hilarious!!

I think pep is the right manager for sterling since he came he looks more alive and more of a team player

 

[MarsLlama]

The player of the year vote only comes at the end of every season but already this year I think if you're looking only at players who have played most of the games and have consistently performed well then it can only go to two players: David Silva or Raheem Sterling.

I would love him to get it because it would finally put an end to any notion that we wasted money on him. To think two years ago he was Liverpool's future- now he's ours.

 

[Neville Kneville]

He's always had the talent, pace & workrate, but now he's also starting to show the intelligence of a top player. If he also keeps working to improve his finishing, there is no telling how far he can go. It's great to see how these lads are improving almost day by day, under a top manager.

Stunning season he is having atm. If he isn't considered for young player of the year it will be an absolute disgrace

I think you underestimate what he should be considered for.
