Raheem Sterling

[dom9]

Apparently he has played inc subs 25/6 Games this season. The Most for any LFC player. 'Apparently' If so he is over exposed, hence why he is average now. Bad man management.

Or there is little choice. What are the alternatives?

[BobTheCharmer]

He's not a man though. Well, not yet.

he just turned 18 the other week didn't he? = Man.

[dom9]

I'm not sure I would call the 6th form version of myself a man tbh.

not sure i would have called the 32 year version of me one either but I thought the original classification was turning 18 meant you're an adult hence a man.

[dom9]

Maybe. But to treat an 18 year old football in the same as a 32 year old one is pretty ridiculous. I would imagine the same might apply in your line of work.

sorry criss cross of wiring here perhaps. i was merely pointing out to nigella that sterling is techinally a man at 18 in response his response that it isn't bad man management as he wasn't a man. I then went to the seaside, bought a kiss me quick hat, relunctly put on a pair of fake boobs and went onto the beach to build a sandcastle even though the tide was almost in. whilst leaving the beach i was gang raped by some seriously tough crabs. the old pincher movement. I had no chance.

It's just running and kicking, hardly brain surgery. I was the fittest I've ever been at 18.

[dom9]

Gotcha . I thought you were continuing the Saj train of thought.

[Neil Young]

It's just running and kicking, hardly brain surgery. I was the fittest I've ever been at 18.

I'm not sure the parallel is entirely accurate. It's not just running and kicking but also being kicked and bashed about, recovering, etc.

My guess though would be that it isn't physical but tactical - teams are starting to work out how to counteract him.

And maybe after yesterday that will apply to the whole team too.

[dom9]

We need guile.

I'm past my best though.

[Neil Young]

Yes, we do. And Smudo.

[Kenneth]

Yes, I agree. It's not that he is being over played causing a drop in form, hence bad man management. In fact, he probably needs the games to help him learn how to find different ways of making an impact imo.

[TheElephantMan]

I didn't think he was ready, but surprised how well he did at first. I guess he wasn't ready. He's a talented footballer no doubt about that, we need to rely on him less and allow him to develop naturally. I'll give him his due though - he gets stuck in and even when he isn't particularly effective he's giving his all. That wasn't a reference to anything except his performance on the field btw!

[Shackanory]

He'll be signing a new contract, no doubt. He's just turned 18, so with regards to his kid who he doesn't see, he's got legal responsibilities now because he is of legal age to contribute. That all has to get sorted first.

Are you claiming to have inside knowledge?
