Universal amongst city and england fans yes it is,the rest i give up as you are clearly not watching how we play or as usual not listening just repeating,i'm outFor you the England team means nothing - your sentiment isn't universal.
For City, yes, he absolutely lacks a bit of confidence. He still tends to pass rather than shoot when shooting is the better option.
So I'm to understand that you and - moreover - universally - all/most? England natives - do not care for the national squad - according to you?Universal amongst city and england fans yes it is,the rest i give up as you are clearly not watching how we play or as usual not listening just repeating,i'm out
Most City fans that I know (and rags) couldn't give a fuck about the England national team.So I'm to understand that you and - moreover - universally - all/most? England natives - do not care for the national squad - according to you?
Perhaps. But that's too bad - as your international side has a lot of talent and even more talent coming up in the near future. Too, the England national squad performed admirably in the WC, enhancing my - and the word's - enjoyment of the game.Most City fans that I know (and rags) couldn't give a fuck about the England national team.
Content abuse of your players by the media and Wycombe Wanderers fans tends to that. The national team is for southerners and fans of lower league teams.Perhaps.

Would you care to expand on that?WRT Messi - Messi is the best player in the world over the past decade bar none. But his skillset is enhanced by intricate 1-2 passing - which is diminished in the Argentinian squad.
Ronaldo - well, he's an amazing individual - repeat individual. He's not a team player.
Ronaldo isn't quite in the same boat as Ibra (amazing individual but probably a net minus for any side in which he plays) - Ronaldo is a likely a net plus, but he's a total prick and likely causes those around him to perform at non-optimal levels.

In the case of Sterling - it's entirely different.

With respect, I don't see this at all.
England has a resurgent international squad - and while not yet among the top 3 or so sides, it's getting better and better.
For me, Sterling's main problem in his International squad is that his manager doesn't seem to trust him. This accompanied by a little lack of self-confidence leads to OK - but nowhere near his potential - performance.Would you care to expand on that?
Again - calm down.
I honestly think that Sterling is on the cusp of Balon Dior consideration.
Holding him back - for me is simply confidence. Less so on our side for sure. But performances in the national side too count for that.
Southgate doesn't trust Sterling as much as does Pep it seems.

If you think that Sterling's current play is perfect - the best he could achieve - well then, I respectfully disagree with you - Sterling has it in him to increase his game even more.
And it's not innate ability that's holding him back - it's lack of confidence.
