I'm sure you'll get shouted down but I think you make some valid points that people just don't want to hear.That’s the thing though, there have been players playing in the front three in teams playing as well as we’ve been playing this season who’ve scored 50+ goals a season every season for years.
Sterling has the opportunities to be scoring fucking shit loads more than he is and should. He said it himself, “I know it takes me three chances to score and that’s not good enough, I need to be taking two or three of the three that come my way” in that interview with Neville.
He can see it and is open to say it, a lot of fans can see it, Pep has been seeing it and it came to a head yesterday.
A proper elite player getting the opportunities Sterling does would have banged in 30 goals this season. So while 20 is good and is a huge improvement, what’s been laid on a plate for him by our fantastic team and the coaching that’s seen him improve, he’s actually done worse than he should. In the last few weeks his finishing and close control have been pretty awful.
I like him, I want him to do well, but I’m not seeing someone who is going to be a long term mainstay of a Pep team who’ll be going for four trophies every season. We will sign that Sanchez or Mahrez or whoever else we’ll go for next window and it’s becuase Sterling isn’t elite.
Don't play him on the left and he will be back to his best
Well to be fair, he is not world class :p
Oh no...I've seen Ronaldo miss that with his right foot :)Just odd that he tried to take that tap in with his left foot, uses his right and it’s impossible to miss.

Sterling is still world class! :)
So you'd put him in the same bracket as Messi, Neymar, Hazard ect?
Actually people do this with every player we have. I generally hate it. That said, I'm a huge Sterling fan. Think he is World Class and admit it was a colossal miss. But that doesn't change how good he is, just like Ronaldo missing a similar chance doesn't make him shit. Even though he is :)This is what pisses me off with the Sterling backers,other players are brought into the equations of his fuck ups.
Dust has settled now,but he missed an absolute sitter,and will probably end up being labelled the miss of the season now,but don't justify the miss,with credit in the bank comments or bringing other players into the scenario.
Dress it up anyway you want,but it ultimately cost us 2 points,and Guardiola hooked him,quite rightly
Nope. The level just below that. 2nd tier World Class.So you'd put him in the same bracket as Messi, Neymar, Hazard ect?

Messi is in the 1st tier alone
2nd : Hazard, KDB, Neymar
3rd: Sterling, Martial, Sane

Neymar is in a higher tier than Hazard.
Hazard has never scored more than 20 league goals (last season at Lille) and also never scored more than 20 goals in all competitions (except his last season at Lille, 22).
The most he has ever scored for Chelsea was 16 league goals and 19 in all competitions.
Raheem is only 2 off his league amount and is 1 off his all competitions tally.
