Fed up with the sterling stuff! He's been injured, playing out of position, either as a striker or wing back and has played a lot of games, even with his break! He's very Young still and is s quality dribbler, just needs to sort his head out, on the pitch, with tactical awareness and position sense and off It. Reading this page you'd thijk he was Aaron Lennon or something. He had the natural ability to become top class, and has shown moments if it (goal bs chelsea comes to mind) and its up to him whether he achieves this. I just don't understand all this 'sell him' cr*p, and yes we may have younger players with as high potential coming through, but they are not all nailed on, and sterling is, possibly along with ibe, at the moment, the best winger/wide player we have. End of.

Hi Fencey, unfortunately I couldn't watch the match last night.
Was Sterling wing back last night or when has he played wing back?
I wouldn't have played him up top on his own against Southampton but I wouldn't consider playing him up top with Sturridge or Balotelli as playing him out of position.
This season he has been over-used, I think he's being played when off form and I'd have him dropped a bit more. It would look to us (the fans) like Rodgers is protecting him by resting him whereas in private he could tell him he's not doing the business so taking him out and see how he reacts see if he improves in training.
