I think he and Eva are in this "row" together. It is a typical move to stop the public from focusing solely on our crap preseason and sluggish start to the season.
They couldnt ask because they were too far out of position to do anything about it lol. Cahill wasn't going to do anything against Gomis one on one in that situation.
This was always going to be a tough match up. Montero, as far as wing play goes, is one of the top in the league. Hopefully he won't have to deal with Sterling next week.
