Id be livid if I were a Liverpool fan right now. In the midst of a tight title race and Watford have basically surrendered the match before even kicking off by resting several of their best players.

City barely have to break a sweat for the second straight weekend.

Not sure Liverpool fans have any right to complain given the number of lucky refereeing decisions they have gotten this season!

I hope Burnley pulls out at least a draw v the bin dippers tomorrow

would be a great warm-up for the wolves game:D

Don't know if you guys in England do this, but in American sports we often talk about "system" players. Players who are made to look far better than they actually are due to playing for a brilliant coach/team. To me that's what Sterling is. I don't think he'd look nearly as good if he wasn't playing for City.

Very nice player, don't get me wrong. But he's not top class for me. For instance, you could place Hazard or Aguero or KDB on literally any shit PL team and they'd still be world class. Don't think Sterling is anywhere near that level.

He's just picture perfect in Pep's system.

Until this year I would have agreed, he has taken game to another level tbf to the lad

I think he would be devastating on any of the top 15, 20 clubs in the world

To some degree what Alonso was for us. Of course, Alonso being inferior to Sterling. Agree 100%, system player is a great term.
