Is Manchester City star Raheem Sterling better than Neymar and Hazard?

Image
Raheem Sterling is on fire... The boy is now a man and his stats are just incredible... Sterling has scored 15 goals in 8 games, 55 goals in just 34 appearances for Manchester City. 

 His incredible goal scoring stats along with is assists {16} can only compared to two of the finest footballers in world football Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. 

 Sterling has surpassed Eden Hazard {the fat one}, Philippe Coutinho, and Neymar in terms of  overall output. The 23-year-old is blessed with electrifying pace, good dribbling ability, energy and above  all goals. 

 "If you look at the likes of Coutinho, Hazard, they can't look at Raheem Sterling right now", Ferdinand told BT Sport after Manchester City thrashed Atlanta 5-1 with Sterling scoring a first Champions League hat-trick. 

 "They don't get the numbers, they don't get goals and assists and affect games the way this man does at the moment. Every game, he's creating three or four chances whether it's a pass, a shot at goal, his running off the gall, his strength is ridiculous. 

 "His resilience in terms of taking tackles and staying fit is phenomenal. On form, i think so {he is the best player in the Premier League}. He's definitely in that conversation, this man is just scoring goals. I love everything about him, his attitude his humility". 

 Manchester City will play Aston Villa next before facing Southampton in the League Cup and Premier League. Sterling will definitely be the first name on the team sheet and he will be hoping to add more goals and assists to his game.

Liverpool 2-1 Crystal: Firmino is no average striker and 5 things we learnt

Another game, another victory, Liverpool have finally discovered how to grind out results even when playing way below average.  Palace were good to watch, they stopped Liverpool's swashbuckling football in the first 15 minutes of play and put them to the sword by scoring the first goal only for VAR {Video Assistant Referee} to choke it off.  The first half might have ended in stalemate but the second half saw Liverpool take the initiative through Sadio Mane whose snap shot evaded everyone and found the back of the net.  Wilfred Zaha did restore parity to keep Palace fans believing but in the dying minute, Firmino scored the winning goal to put Liverpool 2-1 up and eight points clear of Leicester City.  Here are the five things we learnt:  1. Van DIjk is a monster, he is a world class defender-  Where will Liverpool be without Van Dijk? Porbably in 7th place or most likely 10th. He won every aerial ball, tussled with Jordan Ayew and came out on ...

Redknapp: Pep Guardiola is not 'playing mind games, he is afraid of SADIO MANE'

Former Liverpool midfielder Jamie Redknapp has bruised aside the assertion that Pep Guardiola was playing mind games or attempting to have dig at Sadio Mane.  Guardiola is afraid of Sadio Mane knowing he is Liverpool's most dangerous player. The Senegalese international is the star man at Anfield, he has scored 10 goals with 6 assists in just 15 games this season..  He has contributed to 7 wins this season by either scoring the winning goal or having a hand in scoring the winner. Redknapp feels Pep Guardiola is very worried about Mane and the danger he will pose when City visit Anfield in the weekend.  "Hearing Pep Guardiola mention Sadio Mane and diving was surprising", Redknapp told Daily Mail. "It is unusual to hear a manager say that about a rival player, but i don't think it was Guardiola trying to wind up Mane ahead of this Sunday's showdown at Anfield. It wasn't an attempt at mind games, or a deliberate dig. I believe Guardiola genuinely f...

Consistency, defensive solidity, rhythm, intensity and loads of goals pretty much sums of Liverpool at moment.  The Reds defeated Chelsea 2-0 at Stamford Bridge thanks to a sensational free-kick from Alexander Arnold before a brilliant header from Firmino. Chelsea did pull back a goal through N'Golo Kante before they're inability to finish off chances might Liverpool where going ot make it 15 consecutive wins in a spin and their 7 away victory in the Premier League. Here are the five things we learned: 1. Liverpool can't keep clean sheets- Liverpool's 3-0 win over Burnley is the only clean sheet they've managed to keep all season which frankly needs to improve.

Why Barcelona players were all ready to 'reduce their salaries' just to bring Neymar back

Gerard Pique's revelation that Barcelona player were ready to reduce their salary just to get Neymar back was shocking but yet, understandable.  In the past two season, Barcelona have been bruised, battered  and humiliated in the Champions League by AS Roma and Liverpool. The latter 'Liverpool' really crushed them, evident from the video footage of the players mourning and sulking in the dressing room.  The old guards Lionel Messi, Sergio Busquet and Gerard Pique knew at that moment they needed Neymar back.. They needed the man who massively helped in winning them they're fourth Champions trophy back in 2015.  If Neymar had played against AS Roma and Liverpool in the second leg of the Champions League semi final, Barcelona would've faced Real Madrid and Tottenham Hotspur in the final and won it.  Messi would've had 6 Champions League and not four.. Neymar is a world class player, a game changer and returning to Camp Nou will instantly make Barcelona favour...

Can Sergio Aguero finally score at Anfield? Van Dijk reacts

Sergio Aguero might be Manchester City's all time record goalscorer and the Premier League best striker but, the diminutive Argentina has a record he is yet to break.  Aguero has never scored at Anfield and against a Liverpool team gunning down the Premier League title, if he fails to score or lead City to a victory, the Premier League title will certainly head to Anfield.  Leicester City and Chelsea might be huffing and puffing at the moment but against Liverpool, they're no match in the long run.   Liverpool's Van Dijk was asked if Aguero can break his deadlock at Anfield and he had this to say:  "I think Aguero is one of the best strikes in the league", Van Dijk told reports.  "And he's been doing it for many years. It's a tough challenge and we will all have to be at our best to keep him quiet.  "He won't be worrying about not scoring at Anfield. He has enough experience not to think about those statistics".  Asked if ...

Did Alexander Arnold commit two penalties against Manchester City?

Liverpool might have beaten Manchester City 3-1 at Anfield but they were controversial moments that shocked the world of football including Pep Guardiola.  The Spanish tactician was visibly seen screaming his lungs out to the fourth official Mike Dean, alerting him that Trent Alexander Arnold has just committed not just once but two penalties.. Arnold first handled the ball in the build to Liverpool's first goal and later, repeated the same theatrics as City were desperately looking for a second goal to pin back Liverpool.  Guardiola has never been furious like this before and if not for his years experience he would've said something about Micheal Oliver, Trent Alexander Arnold, the VAR and even Anfield crowd that kept cheering despite seeing the fouls.  The game is over and the score line can't be revised so the question remains, did Arnold real commit a penalty against Manchester City?
