Your making an argument where one doesn't exist. You said why isn't Grealish getting criticism for not beating Sterling's figures last season. I said, he would be if he hasn't after 7 years.So how will you judge others next season. ? If they post worse numbers. My guess is you will ignore them. Like the rest on here who just don't like Sterling for no reason at all.
Give me some numbers mossie, some numbers that you and I can judge jack by NEXT season. Ones that you will be happy with.Your making an argument where one doesn't exist.

Not sure how you relate that to double standards.
I thought you were a sensible poster, but you are simply being silly now.Give me some numbers mossie, some numbers that you and I can judge jack by NEXT season. Ones that you will be happy with.
I have to admire the fact that you’ve produced this turgid pile of shite without punctuation.ultimately regarding sterling the only reason he is gone is because he is not good enough for the team and pep. pep does not rate pace that much and the only other way for sterling to hold a place it to score a bucket load of goals which he has failed to in the last few years. pep needs technical brilliance and sterling is one of the worst technical player and hence he is gone.
Just answer the question. Don't twist it.I thought you were a sensible poster, but you are simply being silly now.
We are changing several players and have no idea how the team will set up and play.
I will judge jack by watching him as I do with all players
Obviously i know gabby has gone, it was just an observation on the situation the club was facing. Raz and Jesus have been great, proven winnMahrez is signing a new one and gabby has already left mate? I still wish there was a way for us to get gnabry though!
I suspect a lot of football experts do know the truth, it's not click-bait for the red tops.In one Dave! Of course we are run as a business. Was listening to the Sheila Fogarty programme on LBC recently when someone invited on as a 'football expert' described City as "owned by Qatar". Obviously, wrong on both counts. Neither she nor any other contributor corrected the halfwit because, obviously, it doesn't fit the bent media agenda. Apologies for going off topic.
Just answer the question. Don't twist it.
The fact people are hard on numbers says it all. Grealish had quite a few good games towards the end without adding to a goal or an assist tally. Does that mean he didn’t contribute or play well? Stats will tell half a story, Sterling’s had many stinkers and might have tapped one in at the end. Wolves away springs to mind. I think Sterling benefited massively to being in this city side due to his one world class asset, movement and positioning. It allows him to get good numbers whilst fluffing many chances, it will be interesting to see how he does at Chelsea. Grealish is a different player, technically light years ahead of Sterling but doesn’t have his awareness yet. Time will tell on both fronts but mad you’re bashing a current player to defend one heading out the door. There can be an in between with sterling, many hate him weirdly and he also has many obsessed fan boys who won’t say a bad word about him. Never known a player have that perception ever.So how will you judge others next season. ? If they post worse numbers. My guess is you will ignore them. Like the rest on here who just don't like Sterling for no reason at all. That's why when I ask a direct question , you're struggling to answer it?
Some may be biased, but I believe that most of those who aren't nuts about Sterling feel the way they do because they are comparing him to other players in his role such as Mbappe, Vinicius Jr., Salah and such and imagining what a player of that ilk could do playing in this squad...his lack of technical skill, poor decision making with the ball, etc. stands out among his teammates and not in a good way especially when playing against a low block...this idea that he's some extraordinary player off the ball is a bit of a myth fabricated by his most fervent supporters to offset his aforementioned shortcomings...if your playing up top on this squad, are not a primary distributor and don't know to move to the vacant spots no matter how tight the windows are when KDB, Foden, Bernardo, etc. are on the ball then honestly what else are you doing? The reality is he does miss more sitters than the rest of the squad combined...131 goals in all comps over 7 years on its own is a very good return (18.7/year)...some think he's a superstar...others think he's massively flawed and over-rated...the truth is he's probably somewhere in between...while everyone notes how much he'll be missed let's ask him in January how much he misses KDB, Bernardo, Foden and the rest of our guys...Nope but I can evaluate stats. People slag Sterling off for missing sitters but conveniently ignore others who create very little or score very few goals. It's double standards. Simple.
