Raheem Sterling - 2016/17 performances

Tried too hard towards the end of the game, was trying to do too much himself but overall had a good game. Worked tirelessly and was once again robbed of a perfectly legitimate penalty.
It seems those who slagged him of relentlessly last season and have had to keep schtum this year are slowly but surely reappearing in order to try and claim they were right all along when they couldn't be further wrong if they tried.
He's a class player who brings something to the team that others can't. That's why he plays so often and will continue to do so.
 
Looking for explanations as to why Sterling doesn't get penalties , the answer from ex refs on SkySportsNews seems to be...
He runs too fast so you cant really tell whats happened

Well who could argue with such cutting edge analysis like that?

To me that just looks like he completely misses the ball with his right foot, and then Milner's left leg takes him out immediately after. I still have no idea how he missed it.

Try watching again, Milner comes into the back of his calf as Sterling is about to shoot, and kicks Sterling's right leg into the air.


If you genuinely can't see that, you should consult medical advice, specsavers, stop driving etc. it is clear as day. It was clear as day to the commentators in the game, it was clear as day to the Sky studio bellends, and it was clear as day to the Radio 5 & MOTD panel.

I can't believe anyone without an ulterior motive Re:Sterling can fail to see that it's as blatant a foul as you'll ever get in the box.
 
love Sterling but at this moment he is being out played by Sane , It is not skill just work rate and determination . Sane gets back and tackles and without that Sterling will never be world class, as for getting chopped down from behind in the box with both the lines man and the ref having good views, what do you expect he has been booked the most for diving in the league, and so what if all of them were proven wrong , unless the club come out in support of him it will continue

So now we're blaming Sterling for poor decisions against him in the past, costing him decisions now, fantastic.

I just can't fathom why some fans are such contemptable cun*s to this player, when he's been good all season and was again good yesterday. The only reason this thread is active is because people are blaming him for being cynically fouled in the box, and yet it's his fucking fault.

But I suppose now Stones is playing well, someone else must be the boo boy for a while.

So is/was Stones a boo boy in your book then ?

I love DeBruyne but at this moment he is being out played by Silva. I'm not sure what that has to do with anything but thought I'd tell you anyway.

He quite clearly was the boo boy for months, every time he played people were bitching and moaning about him, and every mistake the defence made was attributed to him.

Spot on. It's the most blatant penalty and red card you'll see and once again refereeing decisions have cost us dearly. That's now Chelsea, Spurs and Liverpool at home where massive decisions have gone against us.
 
Feel for the lad who along with Kun, refs have basically said defenders can do whatever the fuck they like against them.

How the fuck that isnt a penalty yesterday i will never know?

Oh...sorry, i do know and its called fucking cheating!
 
Don't rate him that highly to be honest......
never seen a player run into the opposition and come away with the ball as much as Sterling does.
Confident in saying Sane will go on to be twice the player sterling is
 
Still hasn't improved his technique in front of goal I see. Kun should be all over that in training, teaching him the technique.

This is based on just his last game though, I haven't watched much of him.

The thing is, his form in front of goal is the only weakness I see in Sterling, once he gets that what will you be able to say that's bad about him?

A lot of it is confidence in my opinion, which I am hoping changes with age.

When he is feeling good he can do what he did against Arsenal at home and Swansea away, but if a few things don't go his way early on in a game I feel he feels a little intimidated with what is expected of him and maybe the players he has around him.

He isn't a winner yet so maybe a league title will change his mindset.

Nothing wrong with his technique. He should have had a legitimate goal yesterday and at the very least a penalty for his efforts. His numbers this season are ridiculously good.
 
Sterlings thought process is way too slow. The time it takes for him ro decide on the pass(which is only a second or two) is slow enough to be telegraphed by defenders. His striking of the football is poor, he seems to cut across it. I think every club he's been at will have been trying to coach this to him. These 2 things alone should be natural to an attacking footballer. We could have another Navas on our books!
