I’m just playing devils advocate here but Sterling came through the ranks at Liverpool, almost won the league there in 13/14 losing out to Man City who he then joined in 2015 for more money and the fact they were better at the time. Liverpool have since improved and won the premiership for the first time and won the CL which is something that Sterling hasn’t come anywhere close to at City. It makes a lot of people think GIRUY when they don’t succeed which is why people find the miss last night so amusing. Liverpool got nearly £50 million for him, it's not like he dumped them on a free transfer. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iminavest Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 Sterlings miss is funny purely because its hilarious seeing highly paid professionals do things that we'd rip the piss out of our mates for at 5's. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not saying that though - he still left for pastures greener and the team he left have gone on to be more successful than the team he joined which a lot of people enjoy seeing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are the one bringing race in to it - I’m just pointing out why people may not like Sterling, who ever tweeted that about his activism work is clearly a racist arsehole who I want nothing to do with here. if Leicester has got into Europe at Man Utd’s expense then the exact same people would be pointing and laughing at McGuire for him fucking off to a bigger club for more money and flopping. It’s just what happens in football. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are Liverpool that more successful than City though? Sterling's development under Pep, has seen him become one of the best wide forward players in the world. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it’s the Champions league yes - winning the league cup and the FA cup is great but City want the big one and they haven’t reached the final yet, Liverpool have done that twice and have got the monkey off their back by winning the premiership. Once again, I don’t support Liverpool. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

throbber Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 23 minutes ago, Mr. Alli said: I don’t know what you are trying to pull off here - I have stated fact that Liverpool have been on 2 CL finals. City have only for as far as the semis and that was 15/16. Since then they were knocked out by Monaco in the last 16 then Liverpool and spurs have put them out in the last 8. Last night really shouldn’t go down as a surprise as the quarter finals seems to be where City exit the competition. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
