Raheem Sterling - 2016/17 performances

[blueinsa]

There is less hatred for the lad of fucking RAWK.

Shameful from a small few.

jesus we have some fans who clearly don't understand the game.

Yesterday he was 100% instructed to play conservatively. He helped Fernandinho out to ensure Leicester couldn't counter down his side, and we focused our attack on the other wing, with Sane, KDB & David all floating into that zone. We trusted Clichy to do a one v one against Mahrez(idiotic decision) but Raheem played an unselfish role yesterday.

Cant really understand why when sane or jesus have bad games its because they are young and inconsistent but when raheem has a bad one its because he is just not good enough.

Sick to death of the bellends slagging Raz off all the time, nearly lost it with the fool sat near us yesterday

 

[Callum Ramsey]

Absolute bollocks

Certainly not all those teams but Real and Bayern were reported to be monitoring his situation at Liverpool during his contract negotiations. With bayern it was clear Pep was the one who wanted him there

Yep the media did there work on them! pity they don't see the contribution he gives us on the pitch, yep he does have some poor games and makes mistakes like every other player does though, like I say they cant make there own mind up they need the Narrative from the media to make the mindset.

A lot of fans for some reason just don't like Raheem. He has a face that people love to hate (coming from him).

Reality is he has 10 goals and 21 assists (including penalties won) in 47 games. Also had a minimum of 4 stonewall penalties that weren't given.

Neymar...16 goals....24 assists in 42 games.
Ribery...4 goals... 18 assists... 31 games
Robben...15 goals...12 assists...26 games
Hazard.....16 goals...7 assists....40 games
Pedro.....12 goals...11 assists....40 games
Y. Carrasco....14 goals..5 assists.. 51 games
Draxler.....9 goals...5 assists..36 games
Hueng-Min Son.....19 goals...8 assists...44 games
Curadrado.......3 goals...9 assists....41 games
O. Dembele..... 9 goals...20 assists...47 games

O. Dembele has similar stats but is much younger and he is tipped for superstardom as well. Comparing Raheem to other wingers, he is not far off the likes of Neymar and Hazard, yet is much younger. Sterling is one of the most productive wingers in the world. He could have easily scored an extra 5 goals this season. I am sure he will score more goals next season with a competent fullback working with him.

Some posters would still criticize him even if he had scored 20 goals this season.

Sterling is one of the best and will continue to improve, yes he is inconsistent but is still young. If he was available many top clubs would make offers and we would easily get our money back and more.

We are lucky to him.

Yesterday twice sterling was clean through on goal and jesus failed to pick him out with poor passes. A month or so ago sane had a very poor game against hull city at home where nothing he did came off and got subbed round the 66 minutes while sterling on the other hand gave arguably a MOTM performance in creating two goals yet you would hardly see any criticism of sane as it was a case of a young player learning and having a bad game but had it been the other way round it would be how it shows sterling is not good enough and how much superior sane is to him. You can't make some of this up. I say this as someone who actually believes both sane and jesus have more to their game to potentially be better players but someone who also believes sterling to be a very good player and one who can potentially end up being a world class winger but objectivity goes out the window for some people when it comes to him

Sterling is not on the same planet as Neymar and Hazard.
There is no stats for poor decision making and a pass that is completed yet of poor quality,
Next year is make or break.

Haha! Make or break? Only in the deluded minds of some of our fanbase. I'd have thought that Pep and the management team are more than happy with his progress.
