Lets just make something clear on the sterling v ibe situation.

As it stands now sterling is the better player but ibe imo has the greater potential.

All he needs now is a good run in the first team but it's going to take time.

Sterling got his chance due to the club not buying kono a couple of Januarys back.

Sterling also benifted largely by the system we played with Suarez and Sturridge up front, They use to draw players wide out making acres of space through the middle for him to run with the ball which he did near perfect.
The moment he was shifted out wide Sterling looked ordinary and average.
City will have to play to his strength.

Ibe is a different player to Sterling, much more direct and out and out winger, loves to cut isnide, also would reach the byline to whip in some beautiful croses.

there is no comparison whatsoeever.

Sterling got a chance because Downing couldn't run, Borini had a little injury, and Rodgers didn't want to play Carroll. All that was left was Suarez.

I have not heard a bigger fail in a while. No comparison between Sterling and Ibe? Disagree, they are very similar players, with similar style and at similar age, at the same club.

The real AG

Exactly sterling brought speed to the team which is exactly what we where missing.

He got games like you said because there wasn't much choice but if kono came in in the January window I feel sterling wouldn't have got as much game time.

And European glory how can you say that you can't compare ibe to sterling?
Yeah there both different in qualities but the both play the same positions.

Sterling's best form came in the season where we were the best in counter attacking. Sterling needs space to run and that's a fact, He plays through the middle. So the diamond was effective with him being at the tip of it.
He looked near ordinary when we shifted to 4-3-3 with Sterling occupying the wide position.

Ibe is a winger to me any day, he might go on to become sterling type player.
I would compare Markovic to Sterling, byt the style they play.

Lavers

They haven't yet played the same position at all, Ibe has played as a winger and WB, While sterling has played his best at the tip of the diamond and that's two differnt things.

Remember sterling goal against Arsenal at Anfield. He was inside the box when Suarez put him from wide right and that's where hs is deadly best, running at the defenders.

13 Jul 2015 12:36:45
Just because ibe was played at WB it doesn't make him a WB.

Just as sterling is no striker.

Sterling looked good playing with saurez and sturridge.

Sterling does look best running at defenders because that is all he has speed.

13 Jul 2015 13:01:06
Gonna have to agree with European Glory here. If they weren't both young and black there would be no comparison.

Ibe is bigger, faster, stronger, more direct and has better shooting and crossing technique.

Sterling is more skillful, has a better touch and better vision to see a pass.

Ibe is best out wide and Sterling is best in behind a striker.

I'm not sure what Sterling you've all been watching, but he isn't a good wide player at all.

Both have the potential to be world class, but Ibe also has the right attitude.

Lavers

Agreed mate, When did I claim he is Messi? check my first reply, clearly written play to his strength.

13 Jul 2015 13:10:46
LAVERS, Konoplyanka interest was the January after Sterling had already played a full season, it happened a year later man.

Harry, all this rubbish about Sterling NOT being a winger is ridiculous. Are you telling me Sterling is a better attacking midfielder than a winger? Rubbish.

EMS

Where do you see sterling playing in the city line up then?

Because to me I only see sterling playing out wide.

EMS

Saved my day mate. Thank you. owe you a pint.

AG

I know sterling had played a season but it was the season after with saurez and sturridge where he had his best spell.

That was the Jan we were after kono.

13 Jul 2015 13:42:36
"Sterling looked good playing with saurez and sturridge."

To be honest lavers my nan would have looked a player behind those two in that form.

13 Jul 2015 15:24:40
This made me laugh aha. I was thinking the same thing, most people playing behind the SAS would look good!
