Another Sterling fan here. Good though Rashford can be, I don't think he is half the player that Sterling is - quicker and more intelligent.

Much better football brain imo, or maybe it’s just that he has the experience. Rashford often tries to do too much whereas Sterling is very unselfish, which has really benefited us so far.
I find watching him enormously frustrating. On the plus side, his mobility does create space for others, but he DOES give the ball away far too often, and his long standing goal drought has to count against anyone playing in his position because it puts extra pressure on others to score.
Perhaps a glorious winning goal from him is imminent, but equally, I can see him blazing a last minute chance over the bar from a yard out, like he did at Wigan in the cup last season.

I'm definitely more of a supporter of Sterling than a hating. Yes his end product can be frustrating at times but he brings something no one else in our team can, the ability to beat players.
Without him we are a worse team.
Similar to Knockaert in many respects in that he can frsutrate at times but you'd still pick him for what he offers, oh and he is English, and a larger more sticky out bottom.

I'm in the fans corner. Works hard, but all a bit Solly. Wrong decision after wrong decision tonight and no end product.
Shit house.
When Kane should have squared it for Sterling to make it 2-0, was it Sterling's fault?
He caused Croatia a lot of problems and helped keep us on top in the first half.

It's one of those things when the so called 'experts' try to tell you something that is complete opposite to the truth, Sterling had a terrible game again

If that's intended as an insult, I'll let it go as no doubt you've had a pint or too with your football like the rest of us

Stirling is absolute crap.
Nah. Great first half, fell away badly in the second. I thought Lingard was shit house though.

He was outstanding tonight. Worked hard and caused them so many problems with his pace.
Probably our best player when he was on the pitch and couldn’t believe it when he was taken off.
All those saying Rashford should start and hammering Sterling - even though I rate him, what did he do when he came on?
Sterling, obviously the star of the show, unlucky to be taken off!!!
No surprise we looked poor after he went off. He was our only threat tonight.
Kane had a shocker, looked unfit all game.

Our biggest threat tonight, I thought. We were a lot poorer when he went off. Rashford certainly didn't do anything to justify claims that he should have started over Sterling - he was laboured and his anticipation was really poor, even though he was meant to be fresh.

Thought we looked more of a threat than we had done in the second half, Sterling did okay in the first half, poor in the second.
But why was Kane so deep?

He's looked unfit since the Colombia game
