Me too.
Sterling didn't have any pace, just fast moving short legs.
We'll never replace his talents for missing from short range or simply falling on his arse
I know it’s the cool thing to do but year in year out he’s one of our top scorers and only behind Aguero under Pep.
Say what you want about his shortcomings but if anyone could score the goals he scores he’d have been replaced years ago. We will miss him in my opinion. I trust Pep will change our style a bit and keep us at the top, but it’s very much revisionist history on here to take away the massive contribution of Raheem Sterling.
I'm excited to see what Alvarez and Haaland can bring, had we kept both Sterling and Jesus, I think it would have been underwhelmning in the big games, you know what you're getting with them. Happy to keep them as squad players but certainly not starters
