Raheem Sterling - 2017/18 performances

[Cobra]

I don't think posting 3 goals from his 2 and a half years here proves that he's a particularly great finisher.

Was that what I said?

Thought he had a really poor game in the final third, despite the 2 assists. He was the main reason we didn't score 6 or 7. Low on confidence and very indecisive.

I blame Pep.He looks so out of sorts on that left hand side but as soon as he switched back to his normal right flank,he was on fire.

Most improved player in world football?

He got two assists last night yet he was nowhere near his best.

Prior to the start of this season, I thought he would be struggling to get a game. Boy, has he proved me wrong.

Pep "that's right take in the bald chakra"

This is so funny! The way he’s crouched over, rubs his head, the come here arms waving, and Sterling approaching him like a naughty child..

"Raheem Sterling, he plays on the right".

A bloke on the row behind was slagging Sterling off relentlessly and then came out with "get him off FFS". Impeccable timing though, about 30 seconds before his assist for KdB's goal.

He's having a great season but I wish he would play instinctively more often than he does - the excellent assist for Sergio last night was a good example - at other times he seems to overthink things, such as that chance that he ended up chipping wide in the second half.

Sterlings movement was like Maradonas the ease of which he pulled away from 3 WBA players before putting Aguero in

He doesn't look quite as disruptive on the left, but strangely he gets more chances to score playing on the left than he does on the right. So go figure :?

Yes its quite strange that stat aint it.
I love the lad but he`s far more effective on that right side and the ease that he went past those 3 WBA players to set up Sergio was wonderful.
