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.

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

Agree to some degree but he perform so well that it is almost impossible for pep to drop him.
