The importance of Raheem Sterling

Spot on article, apart from the 'Silva is rarely in the headlines for the wrong reason'....you mean NEVER?

Attacking at speed on both flanks has made a massive difference to City going forward. The Sterling signing without doubt has given us an extra threat, which upto now no-one seems to be able to cope with.
If this lad could finish, he'd be a great player....but that will come in time.

And not just the speed, but his presence seems to have turned Kolarov into a new man. They seem to have clicked already, which is good, but Sterling provides Kola with much needed assistance on that flank and it's given us a whole new dimension.

The fact that this opens up space for Merlin to perform his wizardry is an added bonus. He's been truly excellent so far.

Clichy must be wondering if he's going to get his place back now, as I can't see him being half as effective as Kola right now.
