He's missing Dave, that's all.

In preseason and the first few games he built up a great understanding with Silva, with the latter directing him. Without Silva there he seems a bit lost.

Once KDB settled I think they'll make a excellent partnership also. It's just a matter of time.

Yep, I agree. This is why so many were frustrated with how long it took to sign KDB, these understandings between players should ideally be worked out in preseason.

We now know that Kevin had made the decision to join us back in February when we' approached his agent, it was just Wolfsburg playing hardball for those final few pesos.

Twats!

[PrezIke]

I think he's carrying the effects of pulling up in the warm up two weeks ago.

[Nigels Tackle]

he's clearly tired
send him to jamaica for a few days and he'll come back on fire

not as funny as most of your stuff. 4/10.

The Jesus Navas of comedy.

I know a lot of people are critical of his last couple of games. Against West Ham, I would not have taken him off, though.
I actually thought we were starting to see himself and KDB getting things going down the left.
We were carving them open on the right wing all second half but with no end product, then we started to do the same on the left and I thought this was where the break through would come, but he then took Sterling off and Iheanacho when he came on was pushed out left.

I thought it was a waste of Nacho and also removed the left wing threat.
I don't think Kun should have been on the park in the first place. It would have meant a straight swap Bony for Nacho was possible and who knows.
Being fed from both sides I would have put money on Nacho scoring again.

Anyway. I have high hopes for Sterling/KDB or Sterling/Silva being a very effective combination. And I wasn't particularly in favour of buying Sterling in the first place. I'm impressed by the balance his inclusion has brought to the team.

Agree, I think Pellegrini fucked up there, like you say he had just started to look dangerous when he was hooked.

That balance you refer to was key in our opening fixtures and it's that which I was referring to when I said Sterling seemed to be taking direction from Silva. His positional play was a bit off on Saturday.

[Fidel Castro]

Still not convinced at all. People said he had technical ability, haven't seen that so far. Struggles to control and trap a ball more often than not. Just looks like another speed merchant to me

Sadly. I am also very disappointed. £50m looks like the scousers got away with the perfect crime.

[Tru_Blu]

Just like in many cases before, the thing to never forget in your master equation is Time. Fern1, Fern2, Deme, Sagna, Mangala all have been criticized and judge to early, only for 90% of the same to start praising them once they have found their feet. Give the BOY and the team time to gel people.

Absolutely. But please remove Mangala.

I'm not 100% convinced by Manga but he was a rock at the end of last season partnering Demi and the beginning of this season partnering Vinnie.

He's prone to the odd lapse even when he's performing well generally which is why I say I'm not 100% BUT he has had just one poor performance this season.

[sheblue]

Sterling hasn't been too bad and will get better.

[nottsblue]

Lets not forget the lad is not yet 21. He is doing ok for my money. Not brilliant, but well enough to see what he can achieve in years to come

[Hazy2]

Add Suarez, who is never injured and Raheem and Sergio would be would be like Barca, on another another level. We are a world class striker light, with Sergio so brittle . The oyjer thing you get with the likes of Suarez is your weakness is hardly ever exposed as you have the oppos terrified.

[Original Dub]

I think he's by far the best 20 year old in the league and possibly in Europe.

Delighted so far, because I didn't expect anything more just yet.

The scousers are fucking morons. They are the ones who got robbed. They swapped Sterling for Benteke.
They are also morons for thinking that one game has changed anything and I'm going to enjoy making sure they are reminded of that every time we strive towards another trophy and every time this "waste of money" contributes to same.

[Fidel Castro]

I know he's young but it's his basic technique that worries me. That's not something you can teach someone too much, young talented players usually lack tactical nous etc

But mate who is better in Europe at 20 years old?
There might be a few who run him close, but certainly not many.

This notion that we were robbed for someone with as much promise as he has is nothing but scouse based media bullshit.
