You are judging him against has-beens and those that never was. I am not interested how he stacks up against the likes of Torres, who has achieved nothing in the game, it’s like comparing Messi against Nolito. In that frontline, Sterling should be head and shoulders above them and he is nothing of the sort. He should be showing enough to say to Pep that he should be in the main team instead of Foden or Mahrez. Not “oh look at me being a little bit better than Torres”.
If you are happy to accept that level of performance then you crack on. You might be unhappy that I won’t accept it but clearly neither will Pep, which is why Sterling has gone from golden boy to reserve.
I don't understand what your not getting here.
I didn't say Sterling is world class this season, or this game, I have already agreed with you. Why are you arguing with me on this?
I'm saying that even if he isn't up to his best standard today, he was still our best outlet, and was one of the bigger positives this game.
Obviously he can be better and I want that, but the fact that he was still our best forward and is still under performing to his high standards kind of proves you keep this player.
Your Messi to Nolito comparison literally proves this, you wouldn't sell Messi if he was out of form.
You are the ones who swings from world class to shit, which is disingenuous.
And I know Foden has been better, which is why he is the starter over Sterling, again we both know this.
Anyway, over this discussion as this thread proves to never go anywhere.
