Victor Meldrew One other thing-Sterling.
In recent days there has been talk of him going to Real Madrid, earning something like £500,000 per week and now being almost up there with Messi and Ronaldo in ability.
Really?
I know yesterday was a difficult game for him but considering he had a lot of the ball, especially late on, he wasn't IMHO that effective and certainly on that showing not entitled to be mentioned in the same breath as Messi and Ronaldo, two of the game's all-time greats.
Playing at Liverpool with Suarez and Coutinho and then at City alongside their great attacking players he gets so many chances it is no wonder he is up amongst the top goalscorers-IMHO he is not a very good finisher but, with his pace, he does get into good finishing positions.
A good player but still a long way off being great.
I think that's quite an outdating view of Sterling Victor.
He's improved immeasurably over the last couple of years and is right up there with the best players in the world now. He used to miss chance after chance when he was at Liverpool but now, for England and City, he's pretty clinical and is getting into better scoring positions.
Even the likes of Messi and Ronaldo have struggled to impose themselves against good opposition at times, and games against Liverpool obviously present quite a challenge for Sterling, but you can't really compare most players against Messi and Ronaldo as they're two of the best players ever.
