Posted before but for me he’s like Dzeko was, esp this season with the late goals and match winners but I still think if you watch him live as opposed to TV you see how much below some of his teammates he is in terms of his vision. He is often the one to break up a move with a failed pass or lack of movement and he still needs to sharpen that and work harder for the ball. Will support him of course but still I have the nagging suspicion that deep down he is not a team player and will play here only as long as it suits him. He’s benefitting massively from playing with world class players and the media talking him up because of it. He should have had 5 if not 6 today. But like Dzeko if he nets 20% of the chances he gets, it won’t be a bad total..

The majority or his goals are precisely because he has good vision, he sees the move developing and gets himself in the right place to finish.
 
Sterling does still miss chances, but honestly, you'd think it was only ever him the way people to on. He wasn't even the only one to miss an easy chance yesterday.

This is complete horse shit
 
Just watching Barca, Messi has missed 2 sitters, a penalty and hit the woodwork 3 times.

It can happen to the best.

Sterling's finishing is getting better, even if yesterday was a bit of a revert to the past, now he seems to use misses to drive himself on rather than let it affect his confidence.
