If you think Sterling's current form is terrible, you must think Silva's current form is beyond hopeless

No, I think Sterling has been inconsistent and Silva has been poor.

Not as dramatic as you make it out to be for Raheem. Some good, some not so good, but no where near terrible. Especially for a 21 year old's 1st season at a new club (that's under performing as a group and under manager transition).

I agree, BB. Of course, Silva has a larger reputation than Raheem, but early in the season when he and Navas started with Silva he played very well. We added KDB, Sterling I think got a bit of a knock for a few games, then Nasri got hurt, then Silva, then KDB, then Navas, and I'm not even mentioning Aguero being out as well.

We have had no consistency practically anywhere all season, so new players may struggle to fit in, especially if they are young as Raheem. Only he, Yaya, Fernandinho, Hart and Sagna have been fit for most of the season, and even all of those players have been out for short periods.

One thing noted in the BM podcast by the journalist interviewed about him mentioned that Raheem played football before joining Liverpool in a school in London that has a reputation for being very harsh on players, and playing no favourites, so he had to really prove himself to make it. We know he has stayed late to work on his weaknesses, but funny that some here complain about our EDS players not getting game time with the first team, but Sterling, who is basically the age of an incoming EDS graduate, we don't want to play and work through his challenges while an aging squad player like Navas, who is not so clearly that much better, has seemed to move ahead of him. I hope the tough love gets Raheem to do better, but I'd like to see him start and be subbed off if he's not doing well enough, instead of vice versa.

Id agree. I just get fired up and passionate and go overboard with my adjectives
