da luck: After enjoying a remarkably productive campaign, many pundits began to publicly insist Raheem Sterling could consider himself amongst the world’s best players.
da roleta: The Manchester City star netted 25 goals and provided a further 18 assists for Pep Guardiola’s side last year, and the plaudits were understandably flooding his way. Former West Ham man Trevor Sinclair even insisted the 24-year-old is right up there with the likes of Cristiano Ronalo and Lionel Messi. Steady on, Trevor.
Whilst the forward has started off the current campaign in fine fashion too with nine goals to his name, the mark of a truly great player is consistency on a week-to-week basis. And, after a particularly disappointing display for England on Friday night, those outlandish claims comparing him to some of the greatest seems like a stretch too far.
After winning the penalty for the Three Lions’ opening goal, Sterling was virtually anonymous for Gareth Southgate’s side. The winger registered no shots on goal whatsoever, and ended up with a 6.4 match rating on SofaScore – the joint-second lowest of any player for the visitors.
