He is probably getting more negative press than anyone at the moment.
It’s all pretty unfair. Defensively he’s certainly no worse than Grimmer. I like Grimmer but often last season he was found wanting when under pressure. He was good at going forward and whole hearted but some of the comments here and at the game were pretty brutal.
He’s young and he’s going to make some errors but yesterday was pretty solid and composed.
All a bit strange really.
Don't think people want to hate him. Think they just want him to be Kieran Trippier.Completely agree, was gonna post a similar thread. Don’t understand it at all, not sure if people were expecting Dani Alves and are disappointed. He’s not been particularly great but he’s not done much wrong. Can’t understand the moaning about him, it’s like people wanted to hate him

Sterling silver also gets a lot of stick too.What is it with footballers with the surname Sterling? :woot:
this2 clean sheets in 3 games in fairness

No better than DKE?? When is your first stand up gig?Early days of course, but no better than Grimmer or DKE so far.
He may improve, in fact he has to improve to be anything like the player that Chelsea fans say he is, but we have to give him a dozen games or so to settle in. It dosnt help that we don’t have the strikers able to hold the ball up upfield and take the pressure off the defence.
Jesus Christ, who’s written him off. Ffs some people!Made team of the week. Yet some of our fans who know better have written him off
:banghead:The negativity towards Sterling is a bit embarrassing to be honest. We're 4 games into the season and our 'fans' are slating an 18-year old who has just started playing first team football. Yes, there was massive expectation upon his arrival with us but maybe we should've taken that with a pinch of salt rather than blame Sterling for failing to set the world alight in the first handful of games of his career. He's been involved in 2/3 league clean sheets, I'd call that a solid first innings for a young prodigy. I can understand the posts about his tendency to ball watch and his lack of confidence going forward but to say he's poor defensively is a bit far as I thought he held his own yesterday against a physical and athletic side.
However, MR should start Grimmer on Tuesday against Blackpool. That's by no means saying Sterling should be dropped but I think Grimmer deserves a chance to show how he can perform.
Even then i still disagree. Sterling is better.I don't think the negativity is towards Sterling per se, it's more towards the thinking that Grimmer is a better option. "The grass is always greener" etc.
Oh for fucks sake.Early days of course, but no better than Grimmer or DKE so far.

And what is it you disagree with exactly?Oh for fucks sake.
