Sterling and the hate he gets

His record for us is amazing. I kinda get what you are saying in places but surely worth acknowledging that ?

He is an amazing player, potentially he could be the best in the world if he was able to finish 1 on 1 more frequently and played aggressive attacking football more often. He's at his best when he is raw and eager, running with the ball and attacking players, committing them, if he does that he is a dangerous player. I don't know why he doesn't more often, perhaps it's the coaching but if he upped his conversion rate then he'd register serious numbers. Bare in mind he is not technically gifted striker of a ball this is something he could and should be working on obsessively if he's not already . There is a reason the ladyboy scaled the heights he has
 
Watching ex-pat United/Liverpool supporting City haters dancing around the pub after a Sterling goal has been one of the most vomit-inducing things for me. I will maybe raise a polite half-smile if fat boy Shaw smashes in the winner on Sunday.
 
I love this a City player is favourite for 'Player of the tournament' in the European Championships and he still gets shit!

It's nothing new lads, who remembers the crap Keith Curle got at Euro 92'?

That was very short lived after he got dragged off in the first game and they put a midfielder in his place after getting torn apart in a unfamiliar right back position.

He played 3 games for England in 3 different positions, CB, Sweeper and RB, and for each game he was taken off very early for defender or an early substitute.

The 0-0 v Denmark he played in at the Euros was seen as a disaster until the next two games. Taylor never gave him another look after 1 bad half, and similar with David White's 1 game where he hit both his chances too close to Zubizarreta. Graham Taylor treated them both badly and then handed 4 point each to Norway and the Netherlands, booth Woods and Seamen being poor and getting more chances.

Yeah me too, listened to his first two games on the radio, think Platt scored, obviously Denmark was on telly.

The last time I saw him play he was left back at Maine Road, think it must have been SU. Was gutted he got knocked out the Rumbalows sprint challenge ant Wembley before the televised final.
