Raheem Sterling - 2016/17 performances

[Chi-town blues]

Raheem sterling ..
Can't touch this
Oohhhh ooohh

It isn't exactly like for like though, is it.

The difference being Raheem is still young and relatively unproven. Kev & Nolito have been around longer and have had their opportunities to shine on other stages.

I'm the first to agree that the muppet in charge last season did Raheem no favours last year, but at the same time what I said is an honest appraisal of a flaw last year.

Now like it or not, we've played one of the big teams this season, and it just happened to be Raheem's quietest game of the season. That's a fact, backed up by his other games stats. If you want to compare him to Kev, well Kev stepped up and tore the rags apart, didnt he. But you cant do that because it's a different system for each of them on the day and of course we'll have games where an opponent will nullify specific players, hence why I said I want to sit back and see how he performs against all of the big teams. By the end of this season, we should have a pretty clear idea of what Raheem is exactly, and what he isn't. But let's not kid ourselves and get excited just because he's tore a godawful bournemouth team apart.

He tore Arsenal apart in the 13/14 season. He also scored and assisted against us in the same season over the two games.

One thing that does not get mentioned much the last few weeks is his price tag. Nor stones and KDB.
Strange init? £50m bargains. That's the good thing from rags buying an £89m duffer. Took the pressure and limelight right off our guys.

r he was tearing into the top teams when he was at Liverpool if I remember correctly. Hell he even tore into chelsea who were the best team in the league at the time when playing for liverpool the season before joining City and that was without suarez or sturridge to help him. I don't think its fair to judge his performances against the better teams purely on last season and the game against United and use it as a tool for scepticism. These are just some examples of his performances against top teams 2 seasons ago and in the chelsea game playing as a false striker against the best defence at the time.

He's definitely had it in flashes, just not for us so far. As I said, I would say Pellers could well be the reason for that and we shall know by the end of this season.

 

[Well Wisher]

Someone needs to get inside his head, disconnect the worry receptors and remind him it's the same old game he's always loved. Reverse some of the damage done by the media. His little run v Bournemouth looked promising in that regard.

Was Pogba £90Mor £110M incl agents fees? In our case the full value incl future conditional events are quoted, but not in scums case?

 

[Nascent Blues]

Nuance.

That's a bit harsh mate. It's his opinion nothing else.

Beat 5 Bournemouth outfield players and the keeper! If not for the post, it would have been a good shout for goal of the season.

I'm sure he misses Pellers
