how so, please?Heliopolis wrote:This guy frustrates me like no other but he's a very good player and he's improved under Pep. Pep demands Sterling to play on the touchline (like he demands of all his wingers), but Sterling is excellent in that role because of his speed and shiftiness. I don't think Pep can improve his decisionmaking but the tactical discipline alone (of making him play extremely wide) has taken his game to new heights. If Sterling can become more clinical he can become a 40 goal player in all competitions (and I really mean that). His goal tally is already impressive but he converts 1 of every 5 or so chances he gets.
He's arguably the best player in the league now. Better goals + production. Pellegrini's style limited him, Pep frees him.tfco wrote:how so, please?Heliopolis wrote:This guy frustrates me like no other but he's a very good player and he's improved under Pep.

he arrived at City at age..20/21, and has 'improved' since Pep arrived on the scene
who takes credit for Jadon Sancho's 'improvement'?

Obviously that would come into play in some regard, no one thinks Pep made Raheem but he's found out what works for the guy.tfco wrote:kalani JR wrote:He's arguably the best player in the league now.

so nothing to do with Raheem's natural progression as a star footballer.
dude, did you see raheem under Brendan Rodgers? when he played false 9?kalani JR wrote:Obviously that would come into play in some regard, no one thinks Pep made Raheem but he's found out what works for the guy.tfco wrote:kalani JR wrote:He's arguably the best player in the league now.

you've written a lot but said nothingHeliopolis wrote:Too many emotional and brain dead dudes on this forum.
Just because a player is young and has a high transfer value does it mean their career will necessarily have an upward trajectory. For every Raheem Sterling you have other players in a similar circumstance that fails to materially improve.
Watch Sterling pre- and during Guardiola to understand the argument being made here. Guardiola has imposed tactical discipline on Sterling which has made the guy virtually unstoppable. He plays so wide it is difficult for defenders to mark him and the guy is so fast that defenders can't keep up with his late runs. The result is he has gone from scoring 1 goal every 5 games pre-Guardiola to now scoring 1 goal every 2 games.
I know its not a fair comparison but with England, Sterling scores 1 goal every 6 games (prior to his hattrick vs the Czechs last month his ratio was actually 1 goal every 7 games). England score fewer goals than City so we can't expect Sterling to be as prolific but you'd think an improving Sterling would perform better for England but that has not been the case.
I don't doubt Sterling would continue to improve on his own but Guardiola has undoubtedly enhanced his progression through some minor but important changes. The one thing Guardiola cannot control is what decisions Sterling makes and this is the difference between Sterling being a very good player, and one of the top 5-10 players in the game. For now I see him being on the level of guys like Robben, Di Maria, Pedro, etc who were gamechangers in their prime but far too often made bad decisions which resulted in them being upper 2nd tier players. The 1st tier guys (e.g. Messi, Ronaldo, etc) make the right decision the majority of the time.
By that logic what is the point of having coaches? I guess players just develop on their own without guidance from coaches, family, friends, etc.tfco wrote:you've written a lot but said nothingHeliopolis wrote:Too many emotional and brain dead dudes on this forum.

thank you anyway.
20/21 year old moves for record money, but his transformation to an elite footballer has been because of bald fraud
Is SAF credited for Ronaldo's rise to super stardom...or is it the player's hard work and dedication to his craft?
