Re: Liverpool Thread
Let me re-phrase that for you then.
I get more excited watching Sterling get the ball then I ever had with Downing. As a fan of football and skill, I would rather watch Sterling then Downing.
Sterling is not better than Downing. You can't judge a player on two or 3 matches.
I'm with Beach here.
Above all, this is a bad thing for Sterling himself: Walcott, the Ox and now Sterling; massive expectations and they will never be able to live up to the hype (although a player like Walcott is very good, but nobody sees it because he was so hyped).
In England it's all or nothing. Hazard was written off before he even played a match. Then he played 3 very good matches and he's considered as the next big thing. There were even articles along the line of: he may be the best foreign player ever in the EPL. Poor Hazard...after barely 3 matches.
