The problem now is that the opposition know who Sterling is so will take him seriously. We'll have to paint his face white and give him orange hair... make him wear the name "Silver" on the back of his shirt against United... ... they won't know what hit them... after he scores a hattrick against them he can wash off the white face paint at half time and laugh at United... "YOU'VE BEEN STERLINGED!!!!!"
One positive looking towards the united game is that I like the idea of Sterling up against any of uniteds fullbacks (although buttner looked good) but on the left against rafael I think we will have oppurtunities
As a United fan I would love you to point out one bit of decent defending Buttner did against Wigan. Did they attack at least once down the right, if so I must have been getting a beer?
If buttner is the one doing the attacking pushing the winger back then he doesn't have to do any of the classical defensive work, he is defending by attacking. Also showed great pace to make a couple of recovery tackle
We need a Fowler more than a Macca, we're also very close to having a new Beardsley, Barnes and Aldridge, we have a Beardsley(Suarez) a Barnes(Sterling) we just haven't got an Aldridge.
Yeah... it's all well and good asking for a new Fowler, Macca, Barnes, Beardsley, Houghton, and whoever else... What we really need is a new Igor Biscan.
