Is what I meant sorry. Typed Sterling as I was thinking about the other point at the same time.

Sterling was a (english!) winger that ran at and occasionally got past people! On the wing! At liverpool! Can you believe how refreshing that was compared to downing for the past 1 1/2 seasons, kuyt (who was great, but really not a winger), and babel? And he's really young, the excitement is his potential and willingness to go forwards (something we lacked earlier in the season). Not a first team quality yet IMO makes a few too many bad decisions, but has made enough good ones to get a couple of goals and assists. One for the future.
I suppose when you put it like that it makes sense. But as he was breaking into the team he was being tipped as the next best thing and I've not really seen anything to justify that; someone like Oxlade-Chamberlain looks a lot more rounded, whereas Sterling is basically kick and run. I don't think he's particularly skillful, he's like another Ashley Young from what I've seen. Would you say that's a fair assessment?

Sturridge has done really well though. Seems to fit the team like a glove.

As for rodgers, he really should've bought in at least one experienced midfielder last window IMO. Just someone to help drag us through some of the scrappy games and force out a result. I said we shouldve got snejder, it's only now the windows shut and we lose to brom that he comes out and says we need experienced players! But coutinho seems to have instantly clicked as well and is still young.
Yeah I was gonna say I watched bits of the 5-0 yesterday and Coutinho looked like he done alright. Didn't realise he was as young as he is.

Realistically do you think you'd have got Sneijder though? Seems like a prick who only really cares about the money.

I feel Rodgers should talk less though sometimes.
Agree with this too lol.
