Maybe a mental block given the vile abuse he gets from the media. (Actually just a trait of his he sortve eliminated as city this year, perhaps from Pep’s coaching)

Nobody else would get into that position though - worth keeping him on, he'll score eventually
Well I suppose he is pretty slippy with the ball and it's rattling them.

Haven't people been saying that his entire career? He's scored 2 goals for England!

It's not an England team without someone who's only attribute is they can run fast... Aaron Lennon, Sean Wright Philips, Steve McManaman, Raheem Stirling
Not sure why everyone is ripping Sterling too much, apart from his finishing he's had one of his better games... Dele has been atrocious, I know he's out of position but I wonder if he's fit, he looks off the pace.
Sterling should be able to continue to stretch the game in the second half, there will be space.

I don't think we should take him off tbh, he's really threatening their defence. Ok, he's missed 2 sitters (1 offside but still..) but if he can just pick the right pass or carry his brain with him when he gets a chance to shoot then he could do something.

It's interesting with sterling, when he was a youngster at Liverpool he buried chance after chance. Think he scored 6 in one fa cup youth game.

Don't forget Walcott
Sterling is way smarter than them though, his movement and dribbling have been excellent.
We have been waiting for him to do that since October 2015.....
Three years without a goal
WTF is he still in the team at all??

You mean the most dangerous looking guy on the pitch? Their back CB's are scared to death of him!
It's more about giving rashford game time too
