After Bernardo Silva's move to City, Sterling's future at the Etihad must surely be in doubt. He's likely to take up the Navas utility player role and with City struggling to fit all their attackers in one team I wouldn't be surprised to see him struggle for game-time this season unless he is stuck at right back; Jesus, Aguero, Bernardo Silva and Sane are all superior players to him and are surely ahead of him in the pecking order.

Some may mention the word 'karma' but I would mention the words 'poor decision', 'greed' and 'bad agent'. Sterling hasn't blown his career but what looked like a career destined for the top of the game when he was a key player for us at 20 now looks likely to fizzle out at the good player level. That is without taking into account the very real possibility of Pep usually him as a makeshift right back which would stunt him even more. I don't feel sorry for him neither am I celebrating what has become of his career but what I am doing is shrugging my shoulders and thinking to myself you made your bed now lie in it, not because he left Liverpool but because of the reasons he left us for, in life and also in football, you live and die by your decisions. I also hope that this serves as a warning to other talented youngsters who have their eyes on the money rather than maximizing their potential, Rodwell, Shaw, Wilshere, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Walcott, Wright-Phillips and potentially Barkley are other names that come to mind who have and could fail to maximize their potential.

It may have been a poor decision but who knows how he would have gotten on if he'd stayed? Truth is he always struggled with scoring, he just doesn't strike the ball consistently well enough IMO and panics a bit in the box. Citeh paid up thinking he'd develop that side but he hasn't.

Sterling still struggles in front of goal and that part has not changed even with better players around him. I believe that had he gotten rid of that agent of his and had Klopp as manager, he would have been better than he is right now but then again, would we have gone after Mane? Go figure.

Yep his final pass is often the wrong option.

I think he is struggling with confidence az he is now a big mobey buy on top wages and expected to deliver

Easier said than done.
