Raheem Sterling’s final ball execution is inconsistent, and he had a poor game against Manchester United on Wednesday. The winger is, nevertheless, enjoying a respectable season overall.
Among the Premier League’s most impressive players in November, he earned a spot on the ballot for Player of the Month.
You might understand England teammate Harry Maguire’s disappointment when the award ultimately went to Maguire.
In November, Raheem Sterling’s performance
Sterling was likely not helped by the fact that Chelsea won just one Premier League game last month.
Nonetheless, the 29-year-old was instrumental in the triumph over Tottenham Hotspur, as he set up one of Nicolas Jackson’s goals.
After that, he scored in another crucial match, this time in a 4-4 tie with Manchester City, his previous team.
In Chelsea’s three Premier League matches in November, Sterling netted twice and added an assist against Newcastle United, bringing his tally to two goals and one assist.
One more nomination for Raheem Sterling?
A repeat nomination for Player of the Month would be highly likely for the £50 million England international (BBC Sport) if he maintains his current level of play.
However, that won’t bother Sterling too much. His current focus must be on assisting Mauricio Pochettino’s squad in climbing the standings.
At Old Trafford, they put on a very worrisome display against Maguire’s United team and are currently going nowhere.
Ally McCoist, a Rangers great, was harsh in his criticism of Enzo Fernandez and Moises Caicedo for their terrible performance in the game.
