Nobody dominates for 95 minutes each game, not even Messi. An explosive player needs to conserve energy more than others. If u want him to dominate for 95 minutes, he can only play 1 match per 2 weeks!!!

For the first time, Raz is playing under a coach who knows tactics inside out and also elite talent inside out, including wingers. He is coming on leaps and bounds. But remember, its a new system and responsibility for him too. Once he understands the game dynamics and movements of his teammates better, he will be even more smart, effective and decisive!

I've seen Messi live, and a lot of the time he just jogs around not doing much. However, when he turns it on..........
 
Just recalling Sterling's 2nd goal v West Ham. Absolutely loved the way he just danced around the keeper and slotted it in so calmly and so easily. A player who can make the difficult look so effortless is the hallmark of quality.

I agree. said to my mates it was like a goal in training, where you take the piss out of the keeper and just tap it in. Showed great skill and awareness, great to see him playing with confidence.

On another point - not sure if it's been mentioned anywhere - I think it's good that our own fans have started booing him (ironically of course). It takes the meaning of it away, and makes the oppo's fans look stupid. As long as Raheem understands!

Wasn't that just Raheem! Raheem! Like the beast chants?

Booing would be hilarious.
 
Listening to the Guardian Football Weekly podcast, one of the guys was talking about Sterling and saying that when he came to us he was very disappointed that Pellegrini didn't make any attempt to improve him as a player or take any personal interest in him. This came from someone close to Sterling and you can easily believe it.

It explains why so many of the players seemingly couldn't be bothered last season. After all, if the manager isn't bothered, why should you be?
