Raheem Sterling

[Zidane82]

Jenks is right

He is not

 

[Zidane82]

I don't need Youtube, I watch football. If it's that easy then someone should have a word with Grealish, because he has half the goals this season that Sterling does despite playing a more prominent role, and in 18 matches for England has managed one solitary goal, against Andorra.

If you HAD been watching City you would realise that Grealish has been told to hug the left touch line to provide the width City need . Grealish is there to stretch and link up play and provide assists. Plus he is still bedding into his new team

That's what Guardiola makes all of his wide forwards do.

 

[Blaugrana Bull]

I would kill to have an attacker at Barca who is able to score tap ins every other week. As if it were something bad.
Imagine any striker at our team right now that scores 19 goals in La Liga. A simple tap in every two games. And does his standard duties off the ball.
Would be team's player of the season.

He would not score that often for anyone other than City who make a ridiculous amount of chances

He was just as productive at the Euros though. He got an assist against Ukraine, won a penalty against Denmark, and then scored goals against Croatia, Czech Republic and Germany.

Great example of when he can be a vital weapon without even scoring, was sensational last night - it happens far less these days but clearly he has it in his locker to torch defenses and widen the pitch to open up scoring opportunities

He always plays with a smile on his face. City have several players out or coming back from injury, so game time for Sterling has improved. Plus his form has too.

He will not get any starts when KDB , Grealish and Foden are fit

He can cause havoc but he has no final ball or vision.

Nobody including himself and his own teammates have any idea what he is going to do next

 

[Jenks]

No end product? He's literally the second highest goalscorer in City's history, and the fourth highest assist-giver.

 

[fergus90]

No end product is an exaggeration but does waste a lot of good opportunities. Seems to have got back in some form though recently.

He has this "no end product" reputation only because he likes to miss sitters (and many important ones too). The number of tap-ins he scored in his career thanks to his off-the-ball movement is large. Unlike someone like Dembele or Coman, he just knows where to be to have that finishing touch.

This is how most top forwards score their goals at a high level. Most are tap ins or six yard box finishes as the job is done in movement and team play.

It looks easy but yet, so many players lack the instinct and don't ever seem to find those easy tap ins that players like Sterling get many of.

Scoring tap ins against the best teams in the world and scoring tap ins and pens against Gibraltar and Montenegro like Depay does is very different.

His 2017-2019 form was world class.
