Also, I was comparing Ibe to Sterling, when Sterling is in a good shooting position you don't think goal, you think he'll panic or miss, for the amount of good positions Sterling gets into his return is poor.

I would also say that Sterling played in a much better team when we were tearing teams apart going for the league, so he looked much better, on his own in a struggling team he is far less effective.



I'd agree that Ibe looks like he has more power and control when shooting but the rest of his game isn't up to scratch, last season proved that. I also think your point about Sterling's finishing is correct, he's better when he doesn't have time to think and just shoots.

I think there is pretty much a year difference between them age wise, Sterling being 21 and Ibe being 20. Both are still very young and have the potential to improve but if you look at them both as of today and what they have done in football so far, Sterling is clearly the better player, his attitude may cost him in the long run though.

Sterling is being slagged off because of his attitude/class, as shown by his video's posted just after England got knocked out the Euro's, a particularly inspired piece of self awareness!!! we can all debate if he's a good player or not, whether he is better than Ibe etc.

Both have their weaknesses as footballers, Sterling has allot more experience and has achieved more as he broke into the Liverpool team much earlier as Rogers brought him through as he was doing so well in the reserves.

I still think there is a good chance Ibe will turn into a top class player who can play in our first team, but it will take time and experience, Klopp and players like Mane will help him, if not he will be moved on, but it's too early to judge him now.
