why the hell is this guy still getting picked ahead of the likes of vardy and wellbeck in the semi we were playing long balls up to Kane to nod down sterling was nowhere near at least with a genuine striker off Kane the nod downs will find their man cos a genuine striker will know were to be
We looked considerably more ineffective with Rashford playing on Wednesday. Sterling's pace and movement are terrifying for defenders.
I really don’t understand the hate sterling gets. He’s one of our best players albeit inconsistent. He’s like the Potts of the England team or something
I really don’t see what your seeing during football matches? To say he’s playing ***** is just unbelievable .yes he’s been unlucky in front of goal but he’s put every defence through they’re paces
No point pulling the defence all over the place if the end product is nothing- set very little up and finishing has also been poor. Rashford put a cross in with his first touch on the ball - far more that Sterling had set up
You do seem to have a Apis mellifera mellifera under your bonnet about this don't you. Ran Croatia ragged at the back and we never looked like scoring after he went off but you won't listen to others. I suggest, instead of watching the football, you go sit in the garden and watch the little insects flying around the garden seemingly for no reason, where as reality we'd be much worse off without them
He doesn't play '*****' so I don't see your point. He misses chances but his all round game is pretty good and as I said we look a better team with him in it.
I really don't get what you hope to achieve from making repeated threads about this? Surely it's clear that you aren't going to change your opinion nor are others so what's the point?
Very true. It doesn’t matter if that player is considered best player in the world for his club - he should not play for his country if he can’t handle it. Jury still out for Sterling, Alli and Lingard.
The point of him playing in this team and formation is that he pulls the defence allover which is then supposed to create chances for Kane, Linguard and Alli. Problem was he kept finding himself isolated cos the others never supported quick enough.
Outside of the Sweden game where are all these chances Sterling is missing? We haven’t created chances from open play. Virtually everything comes from set pieces. We haven’t got any creative midfielders in the squad & that’s the problem. Henderson is great at protecting the back 4 & playing it simple & Alli & Lingard are more players who want to be finishing chances they aren’t players who play defence splitting passes & that’s the issue. I think Southgate sees the same problem & is trying Loftus-Cheek & Delph behind Kane & Sterling to see if they can create anything. Let’s hope Wilshere & Barkley come good or another creative midfielder emerges.
