Do you remember one chance he created? Sterling has pace as his out of jail card. He actually created some, especially the cutback to Bernardo in front of the 5m50, where he missed by shooting straight at the keeper. Not saying Sterling played well but he had that magic that always helps him create something even when he's total crap.
The problem is that when he's crap, he tends to lose the ball a lot and attacks break down. I think Bernardo, even on an off day, tends to keep the ball well and keep the attacks going. Neither of them was at his best yesterday but I think Bernardo was the better of the two. I think we miss the option of Sane on the left and Sterling on the right quite a lot. Sane tends to try and get to the byeline and full the ball back low and hard which is harder to defend than floated balls from inverted wingers.
