I’ve thought he’s struggling because of the way we now play for a while, long before seeing that tweet. Doesn’t make me right of course but a player who loses possession as often as Sterling doesn’t work like it did 2/3 years ago when we stretched the play much more than we do atm.He's not right though. Raheem just wants a change of scene and has seen his arse over competition.
All the things Sterling is currently bad at, he's always been bad at, as is City facing low blocks and Bernardo and a couple others having superior technique.
Same reason we still offered him a new contract.
Antony reminds me of Raphinha at Leeds, both are class players with a lot of trickery and wonderful left footMakes sense. With pep wanting players with more control, as the replacement linked if Sterling leaves is Antony at Ajax who want 50 mil. Watched him last night he’s not very fast but his skill on the ball is brilliant was always a danger against Dortmund with his passing and quick play. Also his first touch for the 3rd goal was Mahrez esque

You are definitely right in saying the things he’s always struggled with he still does but the big factor for me is the stuff he used to excel at no longer happens regularly enough.
A point I’ve made many times.Two words.
David Silva.
He left and so did everything that was good for Sterling.
Although you could say the same about Aguero too. Aguero made the runs that created space for Sterling to operate it. Nobody does that now. His performances for England suggest that he's still got it when paired with a proper striker.Two words.

I’d say more Aguero than Silva myself.Although you could say the same about Aguero too. Aguero made the runs that created space for Sterling to operate it. Nobody does that now. His performances for England suggest that he's still got it when paired with a proper striker.
Seems like Sterling can’t win, whether he plays well or not...Sterling last night wasn't arsed, he never challenged twice trying to chase back & when we won the ball back he took ages to get out wide, he scored he didn't careless neither did Pep its a shame really but it won't get fixed
Pep has shifted bigger fish than Sterling let's see if January happens imo get shut its not hurting us with this carry on espeacialy going into knockout football & March-May fixtures
Sterling needs to move on to save his World Cup place
Right now Sterling & Kane are nowhere near there potential but it won't be there fault
