Even if there is contact, it never looks convincing with Sterling because he straight away looks at the referee after falling. Suarez had that skill where he would pretend to be shot after every tumble and got penalties easily.

He does go down easy, but he's come from liverpool so it'll take a while to beat that tendency out of him.

I dunno, Suarez was pretty apt at finding grass.

Stevie Starfish didn't get that nickname from keeping his feet.

Of course they will. He needs to stop diving if he doesn't want that rep. 2-3 times a match recently will have that effect.

As mentioned in another thread PBL, how many times have you mentioned this before and to say 2-3 times a game, why haven't many others mentioned it.

Seems you really do have a Sterling complex and I do feel you had a problem with him before he signed that you are now exuding.

For that, it's good that you release the tension. We're here for you pal.

"Raheem Sterling - Was it?"... Yes, it was Raheem Sterling that spoke on behalf of the England team, while also paying special compliments to his City teammates...

Should we now complain to the tabloids, about why they are NOT demanding that Raheem toughen up & stay on his feet, after being obstructed & fouled, by 6'2" defenders?!

Thanks mate, it helps me sleep :)

You're nearly right too, I didn't want him as you can probably see on older posts if anyone cared, but I have genuinely taken to him as a player since he arrived. Truth be told he won me over in 5 minutes in melbourne.

I really do just hate diving. It's not sterling it's me. I have to teach kids the game year after year and I see it every week. It really does make me sick. If someone knocks him on the head and he cuts it out I'll be the 1st to put sterling 7 on my back. No lie.
Tracking back is overrated.
