Raheem Sterling - 2016/17 performances

Starting to look like a £45m player.

And all thanks to Brendan Rodgers writing him a letter.

The composure and skill for his goal yesterday was sublime. Great to see him have the confidence to go on himself and his finish was ice cold.

 

[Blue Coop]

Easy to forget he's still a youngster, such were the demands on him last season. If any other youngster was performing as he is this season in the league everybody would be going absolutely nuts. Credit to him for stepping up.

Good management is bringing the best out of Raheem, play him on the right hand side, fill him with self belief and you have a great player, his work rate is improving and he's playing with a smile on his face, a few bitter journos starting to eat their words, keep it up Raheem.

Anyone else think it was a really nice moment when that fan hand his arms really outstretched for Raheem to come over and embrace him? Or just me? Lol.

Kinda said to me that we love the kid and will stick by him no matter what.

Not bad for a 21 year old!

The guy in the green jacket? Yea thought it was great!

Has Sterling ever scored a goal for us when he's actually smashed it passed the keeper? I mean in the way Aguero lashed it through the keeper yesterday. It always seems to me that he passes the ball into the net.

Thought he'd scored at Stoke when he cut across the box and leathered it. The thing is, he's that quick that he usually beats defenders and is left with a tap in. If he works on his shooting, he could be a 20+ goalscorer and thats from out wide.

Some of the stick he got last season was brutal, sadly comes with the territory, to a degree I think alot of it was down to the pre Pep malaise the was evident through the team. The whole Pep thing last season was not handled well by the club at all and we saw the results of both the team and even supporters being distracted by it.

I love the fact that he's the only ex Liverpool player not to have a thread on rawk. Very small time.

Haha! Don't forget the Balo one is locked as well.

Haha, I hope Balo and Raheem both come back to haunt them. Raheem scoring the winner at klanfield would be nice.

Playing really well so far this season. Just needs to keep practicing in the training ground and emulate Sergio's finishing skills.

If he manages to do that he'd be a top 5 player in the world... plenty of time to do that, mind. ;-)

 

[deano ou812]

He's a completely different player this season,his goal yesterday summed up how easy at times he makes it look (which we know it isn't) reminded me a bit of his goal against us a few seasons ago ...

 

[Terra Passenger]

I hated the fact that we purchased Sterling last year.

And his performances last year did noting to change my opinion of him - at the time, I thought, full of potential but completely unreliable on the pitch.

Fast forward to Pep.

Pep has gotten the best out of Sterling - an extremely fast winger, able to take on opponents one on one.

Under Pep, that side of Sterling has gone super-nova!

And though he's still not world-class at finishing, his confidence under Pep has lead to some fantastic goals.

Moreover, Rahim seems to realize his weakness at finishing - he's totally unselfish in front of goal, frequently (perhaps too frequently) passing to a better finisher.

Rahim's performances this year have totally changed my opinion of him - when fit, he needs to start every game (unless we're resting players for a more important fixture).

Was wonderful to see, made me smile big time. Said in an earlier post that he knew he'd be booked but still went ahead, that show of mutual affection was priceless. Let's not forget super Kev joined in as well :)

Nah, more the guy on his right.

Must've been the expression on his face or something, haha.
