Is Sterling the best english player at the moment?

He was their best player but you can never trust him in these key moments.
He should have tattooed an Ak on his leg instead of M4. It would have been more appropriate considering how horribly inaccurate he is.
Nah Robben missed his fair share including in a World Cup final.
Yup, stuff of nightmares.
Awful player in every way. Only good against the powerful Bournemouths, Aston Villas, Crystal palace etc, as every single one of his national team mates. And then they call other leagues farmer leagues when the only team in their league that ever wins anything decent, does it almost every 15 years and is 100% foreign owned, foreign coached and foreign players.
As good as Sterling is, and he is a very good player, he's someone that, when put in a situation like that, where it's all on his shoulders, I feel like he's more likely to disappoint than deliver. Case in point, I was not surprised in the slightest that he fluffed that chance.
This isn't the robben miss. Honestly cant even remember a similar miss in the club's obsession competition and to go through
4 yards out.. running on to the ball..
It’s got to be one of the worst misses I’ve ever seen. It genuinely a tap in. You just slide it in, no need to even put any sort of height on it. Incredible miss.

Exactly. What was he thinking... is he really that poor mentally under pressure ? Perhaps tired ? Really hard to find excuse.
Terrible miss, still England’s best player though.
Context included, that must be one of the worst misses ever.
It didn't look like it took a bobble or anything

I want to know how he’d do outside of a Pep team.
It’s a simple pass in the net. No need to hit it with any force like Linekar thinks he was trying to do. I can see what Linekar is thinking but you should just be sliding that ball in.
Season defining.
Possibly managerial career defining.
Let’s hope pep resigns tonight
It was a simple tap in. I remember misses
where the player is off balance or the ball is slightly behind them. This was teed up for him. It’s just a stroke in. Incredible that he absolutely skied that.
That miss doesn't surprise me at all from sterling he does that all the time,it kind of why i don't really place him that high up at all,plus the fact he has never scored against united all this years
Wouldn’t score more than 15 a season playing for anybody else. It’s a talent to get on the end of chances but he’s not a good finisher and he’s choked that the same way he always does against United.
Not even the best English player in the northwest.
Let s put it this way, it was easier to score than not to
That could be said about any City player couldnt it?
???
For a guy who scores such a bucket load of goals, his "missing an open goal" highlights reel is impressive
In hindsight, was it a mistake on Sterling's part to leave Liverpool ?
I think Sane & Sancho will prove themselves to be better players.
That’s what I think. He gets amazing numbers in a pep team but he’s actually World class in very limited attributes and not very good at much else. Abit like Milner at Liverpool.
I can almost hear you frothing at the mouth.
Edit: just to expand on this, I think you have a point about how a lot of the others get disrespected. But the post as a whole is a bit of a mess.

Sterling is the reason Sane left. Also, last time I checked, he was German.
Not at all. He’s had a great few years
Why? Liverpool wouldn't be anywhere near as successful with him instead of Salah or Mane anyway and he's racked up trophies at City.
Well yes, and I think they've backed the wrong horse.
Feel a bit for him after that, he'll take the flack while players like Rodri fly under the radar.

Based on what?
I take it you're not English but most likely support an English club?
I would laugh, but I know he will do the same thing and miss a key chance or two for England when it matters.
He’s a bottler, I doubt that you could have watched his whole England career and disagree. I’d much prefer Rashford-Kane-Sancho personally.
People go from overrating to underrating a player in a second. He's a great player and today he was better than De Bruyne. I still agree with the idea that no player benefit from the current City setup more than him which in turn masks some obvious flaws in his game.
It's not the first or the second or third time we've seen Sterling miss like that. Finishing is one of the weakest part of his game.
Came in here to make this exact point. He's a fantastic player but in scenarios like tonight when the pressure is really on there's always that doubt about whether he can put the ball in the net.
