Never been a fan always swearing at the telly when he is on the ball he just runs into nowhere hits the post one on one with the keeper.
Can we swap him for Zaha?

Why would you replace him for a worse player? Zaha's decision making is woeful. He will be another Mahrez.

I'd sooner have Mahrez than Zaha. That's saying something.

Son, from Spurs. Now that's a horse of a different colour

If Son, then it'd have to be Kane as well. Such a great twosome but not sure either would be as effective without the other.

Son would be awesome for us and Kev would not have scored if that was Son and not Raz today imo

He actually had a very good game against Chelsea.

But to those who love a good scape goat we'll again hear almost to the point of ad naseum about his problems without any real acknowledgement of his other contributions.

Gundo has faced the same and now is in the fans favour.

Sterling is who he is. He can maybe get somewhat better at one-on-one finishing, but we know it's an issue. It doesn't make him useless or needing to be sold.

He's also a confidence player and scored an incredible number of goals, not just from tap ins, not too long ago.

If he can build his confidence I think the goals will come, but we're missing that lethal striker that he will benefit from.

Give it a rest, pal, ffs
His one on one is a calamity and will bite us again in a critical moment.

I will if everyone else does mate. Will you?

I agree it is a glaring weakness, but was his overall performance today? I struggle to see that case and that's not the first time this has come up.

I am biased as are we all, but sometimes our frustration towards a player feels like it becomes a somewhat convenient bandwagon, or some form of pile on that isn't always as deserved as it's made up to be.

It's easy to see the good in the players doing all we notice and the bad where we also notice.

There is more to the game than that I think.

Peace.

He didn't have a good game actually today, he was ok, best. But far from a very good game.

If we want to progress and become the very best team on the planet we need to understand and solve our weaknesses. Raheem Sterling is a weakness we have in critical moments because of his incapacity to score, an issue that seems it is not addressed both by him and us.
When every chance like today you are almost certain he will fuck it up because it is a big game, then the issue is real and present.

At this level, he can't build confidence and be treated with gloves because he is fragile. He either becomes better and he does that by starting to solve his weakness, or sits on the bench.

The team comes first.

[Beefymcfc]

Love the bloke.

[City64]

Sterling got into some fantastic positions today and drew fouls at important times , he also tracked back relentlessly and worked his bollocks off when we didn’t have the ball . Sadly again he infuriates us all with his finishing and final ball but that is his trademark I guess ? If he sorts his finishing out what an player he would be but he is what he is . Had a good game today for me .

[sheblue]

It's not sterling we should be talking about. The No 6 position is a much bigger more serious problem.

No 6 was amongst the least of our problems. Yes, Rodri had a few poor touches, but who didn't? Every player does over the course of 90 minutes. Overall, that was a great away win against a good top 6 side. I still believe this title is in our own hands. In fact, Pep may have played a blinder reigning in our attacking instinct in favour of a tighter defence earlier in the season. That's left us in a position where we've qualified easily for the CL later stages, SF of the league cup, well placed in the league and still with the FA Cup to start. I'm happy with things so far......who wouldn't be?

[Nick]

But rodri is the weak link and must be replaced by dinho in big games.

[aaron bond]

Sterling played well against Chelsea. He's much better on the right.

[Tokyo Blue]

Love the bloke.

This for me too. He’s been a 30 goals in one season player for City. You can count them on one hand in my lifetime.

100% team player love him.

[branny]

Thought he was better than recent performances. Drew a few fouls in advanced areas and not much of his running into cul de sacs. Don't think he'll ever master one on one's though.

[Outcast]

Everyone loves him this week..
Following week, Sterling is shit blah blah
The week after, Sterling is great blah blah

Poor fella is always under the spot light, can't catch his breath.

I like Sterling, I like what he brings to the team, yes he has his shit moments, so does KDB, Bernie, Big Ed and the rest

[Blue In Bolton]

Needs to be played in his correct position on the right wing with Mahrez fucked off to PSG (hopefully).
