KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum raheem (the myth) sterling

A goal and an assist night. Albeit in a match that was done and dusted already, but that already makes his contribution greater than Downings.

you have to be patient with young players. he was much improved last night, and given more opportunity, I firmly believe he will come good.

Sorry, (I'm not really) but even after last night, I still feel the greatest of needs to slap his arrogant looking ratty little smirky face.

Although I agree I wouldn't use Downing as a benchmark,even the Anfield cat achieved that.

All i see is a skinny kid skipping with the ball, sometimes going past one player, but invariably losing it. or passing the ball then standing behind an opponent to avoid receiving it back. or making the wrong decisions as to where to run at all.

the lad looks totally lost and way out of his depth.

I fail to see why he is in the squad let alone getting in the first team.

Played well againt WHAM

that's a valid point

I think many people forget he's only 18! Last season I think he caught many opposition players by surprise because they knew so little about him but since then he's been in the radar a little more and the experienced player know how to stop him. What Sterling needs to learn now is how to change his game a little so he can begin beating these players again and that comes with a bit more experience and wisdom. He'll get there eventually because we know he has talent and the more confidence he can get the better it will be for him and for us.
Give the lad some time and let him mature a bit before we start slating him and getting rid of him.
His performances have improved slightly over the past two games and hopefully he can build on this.

But when he lost his arrogance he didn't play as well. I say let him be a cocky [oops] if it means we get the good sterling on the pitch.
