[Football] Raheem Sterling

[Questions]

By far and away the best player in Europe imho.
Please feel free to disagree though...

Actually in the world

 

[Hampster Gull]

Could do a job

 

[Weststander]

Up there with the greatest players to have ever graced the game. I doubt Messi or Ronaldo (these days) could’ve done that to a team as brilliant as Atalanta.

Not sure he is good enough defensively.... Montoya is safe !

 

[Meade's Ball]

At times has an awful touch, but he's banging them in. Highly effective, and incredibly quick, and a decent spokesman at times, but not the best footballer.

Just imagine if he was one of the best footballers MB ?

Gotta like Sterling, being English 'n all.

However, how about Mbappe - comes off the bench on the 52nd minute and scores a hat-trick...

Pah.... Sterling got his in 11 minutes.

A little harsh. Up there with Cruyff, Van Basten and Messi if this carries on. Like them, he’s reshaping football forever.

Ok will do.
*fingers to temples and MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM*
nope. not possible with that poor touch.

 

[Me and my Monkey]

My favourite non-Albion player by a country mile!

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

He is absolutely brilliant but he’s not even the best player in his team, KDB is on another level.

 

[Sheebo]

Weird how many considered him the weak link just over a year ago in our great WC run. Head and shoulders the best player when I saw England a little while ago - glides past players!

 

[Eeyore]

Pah.... Sterling got his in 11 minutes.

And missed an easy chance shortly afterwards.

 

[Milano]

He is very effective, he’s still a bit inconsistent but improving in that regard too.

IMO he was massively underrated in that tournament by many who purely judged him in goals and didn’t seem to get just how much else he was bringing to the team.

Vital in our win vs Sweden and we lost all attacking potency vs Colombia when he went off.

 

[Palacefinder General]

Cracking arse, some serious junk in that trunk.

 

[Green Cross Code Man]

Brilliant at 'simulation'.

 

[happypig]

Tap-in merchant, no substance to his game, League one player at best, certainly no Zaha

Yep, the space he made for others with his runs that scared the shit out of defenders was completely overlooked by so many...because he wasn’t scoring. He had a fabulous world cup.

Edit, I see that [MENTION=12101]Mellotron[/MENTION] has already made exactly the same point

Strikes me as a confidence player who is bang in form, much like Rooney.
