Deeg67 Posted 9 December 2018 Share Posted 9 December 2018 Good on Sterling, he's 100% right of course. But it's the fooking Daily Mail - what in the world would you expect? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't having go at Sterling in particular, it was a flippant comment, there just seems a propensity for people these days to blame everyone else rather than look at themselves. The attitude is the product of a World where all criticism is deemed unnecessary and unacceptable, even when it's constructive at times. The modern way is to 'like' and praise everyone which makes any criticism start to seem harsh. As for the point he's making, personally, I think some of the treatment Sterling gets is shocking, especially when playing for England and I agree with the sentiments of what he's said.today regarding others too. Footballers get singled out for all types of reasons and race, at times, is one of those reasons. I'm not sure that's it in his case though. It may be the simple fact that he represents England whilst having no English relatives at all. If it's either of those reasons, it's a sad indictment of how little we've moved on either way. There will be others who simply think he shouldn't play based on his performances but I don't think that's the only reason for some people.

Media about his tattoos or buying his Mum a house, or idiot fans booing him because England did shit in the Euros. He's been good for England apart from struggling to score. But he's fixed that for his club and will probably soon do the same for his country Surprised he still wants to play for us after the Euros 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I'd been him, I've have stuck two fingers up after the stick he's had. The England national team needs him more than he needs them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough. I should have separated the two parts of my reply for clarity. I do think people are quick to look at others for blame instead of within but that has no bearing on the fact that I believe Sterling's comments today are mostly correct and justified.

Nalis Posted 9 December 2018 Share Posted 9 December 2018 I know there's a lot of knee jerk reactions since last night's match but losing to Spurs is another worrying sign of the gap between the top teams and the rest. And they didnt even buy anyone in the summer... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we finish in the same position as we are now but manage to win the FA and/or League Cup, via beating some top teams at the end, would LCFC be then be classified as a 'top team' as well?

He's gotten double figures in all comps since his first season there. He's scoring more now, absolutely – but it wasn't ever a problem, really.

I didnt know he stats of his first season, just remember he still had a good number of clangers in him. He used to miss regularly from 2 yards out. Much more clinical now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
