Ok heres an idea sell Sterling buy Turan someone who loves the club and is the finished product

I have to say after his goal yesterday I expected few 'sell sterling' free days here. It was a world class goal, of Dennis Bergkamp quality. Other than Hazard and Aguero, I am not sure which PL fotballer could have done what he has done there. No justification for his unbeliveable miss second half (and he had few more like this earlier this season - I remember one against Spurs in the first game) and he had too many games this season where he didn't show up. Still I think this goal should have earned him a rethink from some of us in terms of what he deserve and what he doesn't.

You obviously haven't just watched him barely break in to a sweat in the most important game of his season .

that young arsenal right back scored one like that against liverpool,and i would hardly call him world class,you obviously don't read the news,or you would have looked up and seen lionel stirling floating past,then you would realized why he gets so much stick on this page

Not sure who could score a goal as good as that? Are you serious? I could name countless players in league who can and have scored better goals this season. Let's see if it makes goals of the month shall we

Don't know why this always comes up, the young guy was our second best player on the night and worked hard, let's leave him alone until he makes a decision why don't we?
If you are playing devils advocate, if you're crowned best young player in Europe with two years on your contract still, and your manager is under scrutiny, and you're being consistently played out of position, why not wait to see if Liverpool can win some silverware, hire with ambition in the summer and hopefully get into CL before rushing to sign something? His agent may be saying, perhaps in the summer liverpool has not won the FA cup, hasn't got CL and has a new manager you don't like?
I personally think it's the best place for him to develop but the I am not his agent with a possible agenda to make a name for himself and juicy transfer fees!

The Arsenal goal was nothing like Sterlings. Not in terms of first touch after receiving a long high ball from Anderson, keeping the goal on the ground with zero effort, not in term of dancing between the defenders and the finish was more difficult in my view though the finish of the Arsenal guy was also very nice.
Re the laughing gas I have read somewhere that Arseanl gave up their pursue of him for now because of this, few more incidents like that and hopefully City and the others will also decide he is too much trouble for them at the moment and we are sorted. Don't get me wrong, I am far from impressed with all contract saga but these childish nonsense not too concerned about.

I thought the keeper should've saved it tbh. Don't get me wrong I like Sterling and want him to stay but 'world class goal' is a bit of a stretch to say the least. His miss however could easily be called a 'Sunday league sitter'!

He scored a goal I have seen countless players young and old score so salivating at it seems quite desperate in an attempt to make him look indispensable whereas he is NOT because he is lacking in many areas of his game as we also saw yeserday BUT is being glossed over by some on here

Sorry but think of an exaggeration about the quality of goal, great goal against a terrible defense. But scored a great goal then missed two sitters and regardless of the quality two goals are better than one. Bit of his game may improve but don't think he'll ever be a 20 goal a season player as seems to lack that natural goal scoring ability, but is still a great young player with other great qualities.
Want the lad to stay and Tbf actions may be daft but is a 20 year old so cut him some slack, could be worse!

My sentiments exactly, Roland.

what was surprising was that for once the ball didn't bounce 6 feet off his shin when he controlled it. He missed a sitter too ( by a very long way). he's got great potential and ideally we'd keep him but he's nowhere near the player he's made out to be . yet ( nor worth more than 100k a week)

Again the vitriol against a Liverpool player. Yes he needs to work on his finishing. Was John Barnes the finished article at 20? No. Do young footballers with too much money and time do silly things? Yes. He always gives 100% as far as I can see and that's all you can ask.
