No, if not Sterling, somebody else would do it.
Premier League Gameweek 26 (3rd - 5th February 2018)

He’s their second top scorer, almost twice as many goals as the next highest in Jesus. 2nd highest in their squad goals and assists combined, more than Sane, KDB etc.
Yes, i have watched many of their games this season. He misses a hell of alot of chances. Granted he has scored quite a few but they could definitely find an upgrade for him.
Good good. Don't want them beating our 95 points record (they probably still will).
Heheh, Pep, sweet looking result; well done Burnley.
City looking shaky away from home recently.
Well they'll need 27 points out of 36 in their remaining 12 games. So they can't drop more than 9 points.
Yeah they'll probably break it.
What was sterling doing at the end of that missed chance? Was that a dive? 
Most of his goals are tap-ins though. You don't need top-class finishing to score the chances he often gets.
My God, is David Moyes is still putting João Mário behind the striker, is he crazy? The guy's a central midfielder!
They don’t really have many options.
All Portugese are no.10's to Moyesy.
Not sure what the point is of comparing the passing of a striker with that of a midfielder
Antonio? With Zabaleta playing in midfield?
Yeah, that's actually bullshit though. Both Sterling and Martial had their expected goals well above the "expected" mark, so their finishing this season is better than the finishing in general in the top leagues. Of course, after his miss it will be nearer to the average...
Yes he missed a chance today but you cannot deny he is a game changer for them. He's amongst the top three wingers in the league (in my opinion).
For someone who follows Portuguese football, it's a mystery how Depoître is working in the Premier League and someone like Slimani isn't.

Brighton ahead against West Ham. Murray. 1-0.
I love how Lingard is our main playmaker now. His link up play with the rest of his team mates has improved so much.
He is a very good player but they could be absolutely lethal with a better winger there. City have the money to get that sort of player.
PL (10 points earned):
(1 pt) equaliser v Everton (82') - Very good finish but he sliced a similar chance 5 minutes earlier in that game. Shows his inconsistency.
(2 pts) winner v Bournemouth (90'+7) - Very jammy deflected goal.
(2 pts) decisive goal v West Brom (64') - Tap in. Expected him to score it. Very similar to the one he missed today.
(3 pts) assist v Huddersfield to equalise (47') and winner (84') - In the right place but again alot of luck with the goal.
(2 pts) winning goal v Southampton (90'+6) - Excellent finish. His best goal of the season.
I would say he is not a consistent typical finisher. Maybe my previous statement was harsh but its the frustration that we seem to see it alot more when he plays for England. If he has time on the ball, you can see him thinking about what to do with it. It doesn't come natural like Aguero/Sane.
WBA are bottom of the league, yet are 5 points off Bournemouth (who are 10th)
It's ridiculous. A couple of good results and you are mid-table. Couple of bad results and you are in relegation trouble.
Vardy gives Leicester the lead against Swansea. 1-0.
Just seen the Sterling miss, it was harder to miss than to score there
Penalty not given, I mean come on, that is ridiculous even by PL ref standards.
City should have kept Iheanacho and granted Arsenal wish to swap Sterling for Sanchez.
West Ham equalise at Brighton. Chicharito. 1-1.
Lots of diving and cheating in the united-Huddersfield match on both sides. Ref not having a good game.
By both sides?
Southampton equalise at WBA, Lemina. 1-1.
West Brom
Southampton now ahead at WBA, 1-2. Stephens.
You're right, strikers shouldn't pass at all.
Yeah because Iheanacho is not able to bench Okazaki and Sterling only has played a part in 25 goals this season. Iheanacho would clearly be more useful.
Easily the worst opinion/comment I've read in Caf history unless you're being sarcastic, then its great.
Swansea equalise at Leicester. 1-1. Fernandez.
3-1 Southampton.
Southampton get a third at WBA, James Ward-Prowse. 1-3.
