Raheem Sterling

The ****ing lines on the pitch

heh

I think we can easily move on from this. Not a season defining moment and we should be ready to start battering teams from New Year onwards.

[Gazzla]

From being the early season whipping boy he's turned that perception round with some outstanding displays, he's first choice now regardless of who we sign he is that good, the improvements have been staggering and his pace terrifies defenders what a threat he is

Outstanding display. Legitimate goal ruled offside incorrectly and should have equalized. Beautiful ball to Henderson too.

[Fosterbloke]

Do you think Sterling has a bigger impact than Coutinho at the moment?

I can't decide whether I'd drop Coutinho or Sterling for Sturridge.

Sturridge offers pace, intelligent play AND goals, something lacking in Sterling's game.

I'd love to see all three of them play along with Henderson and Suarez. We'd need a powerful midfield player like M'Villa or Matuidi to allow that though.

**** me what an attacking force that would be -

Suarez - Sturridge

Coutinho

Henderson - Sterling

M'Villa

Flanagan - Sakho - Toure - Johnson

I wouldn't drop him at the moment, he's getting better and better. We're not exactly struggling for goals at the moment. That said, he does need to work on his finishing though.

[Sarb]

Playing just aswell as Coutinho if not better

[Norbs]

He's more of a goal threat ATM but probably won't ever possess the vision and skill that Coutinho has.

They're both different, they're great at the moment as an ickle double act

[cream]

I think the current front three are spot on, I'd be reluctant to make any changes.

Finishing is one of the last things to arrive in a young players developing game. Him like Coutinho lack composure in front of goal, he was too embarrassed to even celebrate against spurs because he knew how close he came to not scoring a sitter cos it was straight at the keeper. It will come with time but I agree, I'm not sure Sterling is the one who loses out when Sturridge is fit, I'd hate dropping Coutinho too but we need a more potent goal threat with Suarez.

[Fredo]

Sturridge won't come straight back into the team.

[G]

He probably won't but that doesn't mean he shouldn't. We've had this conversation already recently Nigey so no need to do it again.

Coutinho and Sterling are completely different players. Coutinho is always looking for the ball (deep, midfield and upfront). He's our most creative player (in terms of passing), he's skilful and probably the most comfortable player on the ball. We are much better with Coutinho in the team.

In a recent BR interview, he said that Suarez works hard with the young players. I think it shows with the likes of Coutinho and Sterling. Add Suso to the mix - the future is very bright
