I usually find the digs at Sterling on his running style -- I mean, it's not a "style," per se, it's a physiological fact -- kind of puerile and weird.

What about his athleticism? I was so impressed by him. He's kind of an interesting figure, who has been around the sport for a few years now and had his ups and downs. Another player like Bailey with a powerful life story connected to Kingston.

He was a real pest last weekend, and if anyone seemed like they would have a hand in ruining our win, it was Sterling. What an incredible athlete! It's funny with all that expensive talent assembled, it was the "old" veteran (I mean, he's just 28) who carried his club's hopes. Glad we managed to hold him off.

He's not quite so good, when you shut him down....given space, he comes in to his own.

At International level, the defenders deny him the space, he craves to work in.
