Jesse Messi?

I can’t remember his name, but he always appeared in polls. There was a bit of fallout over it in the end

Jack Watts?

 

[WealstoneRaider]

Your racist is showing.

How so when I’m one of the few recognising Son having elite talent? There’s nothing to suggest Sterling is better. Nothing.

 

[WealstoneRaider]

Jack Watts?

That’s the one. Bring back the Jack Watts polls!

 

[Bojan KantKick]

I think Son is a better footballer than Sterling. Both players suit their teams system perfectly and excel as a result. Not sure either would have the same impact if roles were reversed. Both are bloody good players

 

[Cruyff14]

Nakamura and Nakata another.

Precisely why I wouldn’t swap him for Sterling. Just plays that LW and back up CF role brilliantly.
Something that’s crucial given how hard it is to find someone to want to sit on the pine for HK.

Sterling’s in the top handful of attackers in the EPL, and would start at any club in Europe at the moment. Pray for us all if he ever ‘learns how to finish’. Even the most clinical players miss chances. I don’t think it has been a weakness of Sterling’s game for 2 years now, his numbers during that time support that. He’s only missed 4 big chances in the PL this season, =41st in the league. 46 shots, 12 goals (26% conversion rate).

Its a confirmation bias trap, taking one example of ambiguous evidence that mirrors your pre-existing belief as confirmation your belief is the correct one, while ignoring the bigger picture and any evidence to the contrary.

I don’t think moomba ‘s being overly defensive, just calling out a dated opinion that hasn’t held water in years.

Thought your troll radar was the only one engaged.

For a bloke that constantly drones on about people being overly defensive against criticism of their players, you're showing a lot of defensiveness when I don't think anyone has said a negative word against Son for months.

 

[Cruyff14]

Yeah, I can't remember anyone ever saying a negative thing Son.

 

[WealstoneRaider]

Saying he’s not as good as Sterling is a bit negative imo. I just can’t rate sterling as elite, not after watching him at the WC

 

[Indie_]

Sterling is probably one of the top 30 players in the world. Don't think saying Son is worse is anything close to negative.

 

[Cruyff14]

So if Son had a shit WC, would you not rate him either? Warped logic.

Hardly sound to rate someone off a few weeks than over the course of a season.

Sterling would not start at PSG for starters.

Son’s not going to be judged at a World Cup because no one expects South Korea to do anything special. Sterling had a dreadful World Cup. It’s the pinnacle of a players career and the biggest stage to bring your A game. Sterling was probably England’s worst player at that tournament

Didn't England generally look a lot worse coincidentally when Sterling went off?

Doing a lot of moving the goalposts here Welly.

Not to my recollection. The only thing I recall was everyone commenting how shit he was playing

Ah so you just base your opinions on what others say?

 

[WealstoneRaider]

Not at all. These are facts. You are trying to drive me down the road of saying sterling is shit, when I believe he’s not. In fact on his day he’s very good. But he can also be rash and lacks composure. He’s massively helped by playing with exceptional players at Man City. Son is just overall a better player, that’s all I’m saying here

 

[WealstoneRaider]

SM please don’t start with this sort of diatribe
