Really? why did he say in a interview at the end of the season that he needed to score more goals and produce more?

Perhaps i misunderstood and he actually meant more sideways passes or he needed to win more free kicks? Sorry but the fancy runs are nice, you could say they are the icing on the cake, but it's the goals and assists that win games, they are the stats that count.

Sterling did plenty of runs aswell, but they don't count to you and others it would seem when it's Raheem?

that is his personal goals to get good headlines. pep does not care about stats only he looks at the overall contribution.

Why not compare his stats to our record signing. Tell me what does Jack need to do next season to be considered a great signing if Sterling is considered a failure with 13 pl goals and 6 assists this season past, like you said missing sitters and only scoring 13 goals isn't good enough, and his decision making is poor having only assisted 6 goals ? Its an honest question ? Im all ears. Or perhaps your sugesting he doesn't need to score goals or assist.

No-one has had the bottle to answer it so far?

Where did I say Sterling is a failure? I tried to explain why some fans don't fancy him...if you ask me a question that makes some sort of sense I'll be more than happy to give you an answer...you want to compare Sterling to Grealish in what way? Grealish can play as an 8 and drive an offense...he's elite from a technical standpoint as are KDB, Bernardo, Foden, Mahrez, and Cancelo...Sterling relies more on pace and playing predominantly on the receiving end of things...I believe he's a good pro, but not a super star...far too many holes in his game for me...

That’s an interesting one. I think you are correct but not entirely.

Goals and assists are definitely not the whole story and looking at the overall contribution of a player is exactly what Pep does but increasingly that too can be measured and he does look at them.

OBV is an important stat that Grealish excels at but isn’t as easy to see as a goal.

Grealish is actually doing fine and has nothing to prove though I expect him to kick on further and link up well with Haaland next season.

Wasting your time. He has manufactured a stupid question and cannot see the wood for the trees in arguing it

Well when there are people on here slagging Sterling for missing sitters and not laying on a final ball and therefore being poor or rubbish as you say like the season just gone where he only got13 PL goals and 6 PL assists, let's see how those people judge others in the team that have performed nowhere near that level this season just gone.

I fully expect you and others to be on here slagging Grealish if he doesn't get way over 13 goals and 6 assists next season. It wouldn't be fair otherwise would it, if you didn't judge them on the same basis.

Imagine thinking Pep instructs them to play the same way.
