He's had two massive chances over the past two weeks & missed both. However, this shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone that has watched him during his career.

Thor 2,703 Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 He is the only one that has impressed for me. Plays direct and drives the ball. Seems our mob is a bit confused by this as they would much rather pass sideways and lose possession. Hopefully he doesn't fall into the easy habits of the rest of the team, and they catch up with him as opposed to him settling into the easy way of things.

robsblubot 3,595 Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 (edited) It's not that I think Sterling is one of the greats mind you, but because I think Hazard is an extremely overrated player especially around here (not so much elsewhere). The extra flair Eden might have over Sterling is easily made up for a lot more work rate as well as the ability to pass the football (as oppose to take it home).

What's so bad about Hazard's passing ability? Genuinely curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the polar opposite of what the modern game is all about, which is what Sterling was coached into. He also never pressed to save his life, which is yet another advantage Sterling has. I'm being honest here... if I'm playing a CL game against strong opposition, I know which player I'd pick. BTW, think folks here are downplaying his Madrid flop. It speaks a lot about about his mentality, or the lack thereof. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It speaks a lot about about his mentality, or the lack thereof. Madrid Hazard is a different player than the one we had. Its a broken down, injured shell of his former self. Yes, he tends to hold on to the ball a lot longer than other players, but that's just the way he opens up the pitch for other players drawing attention to himself. And no one can ever accuse Hazard of being selfish. While he has had forgettable CL performances, he has performed against big teams, scoring against several of them in the league. Whether Sterling is a better player for CL knockouts remains to be seen. He hasn't won his former teams a CL either. Anyway, agree to disagree. I think you have made up your mind about Hazard, and you have a right to your opinion. While I'm glad we have Sterling, I don't feel we have the air of superiority or the X factor we used have with Drogba or Hazard. Can guarantee if we had a player of that quality in our team right now, we wouldn't be complaining about our over reliance on wing back play., or lack of attacking threat. robsblubot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fernando 6,585 Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 I knew he would be not so good. Another bad transfer by Tuchel. I love Tuchel as a coach but I warned that he was BAD with transfer. Lampard was better at spotting talent and buying quality. mkh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Armour 4,439 Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 I am not going to say 'I told you so' here. Before the Sterling transfer, I had expressed my doubts about this move and whether he was a player that could lift the team like Hazard or just someone who make the most of a good support system. However his start to the season was really encouraging and he showed why he could bring an x factor to the team., so it's odd to see it trail off this way (although it happened to other attackers like Morata and Lukaku to be fair). And this has coincided with Tuchels departure, a change in system and playing position. That's why I don't want to make the first statement. It's sad that at the start we had Sterling in form and Mount off form, and now the opposite is true, with James out for weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
