Fans hate when a player doesn’t work hard on the pitch! It wasn’t about the missed free kick, that was just the culmination of most of the season for him
@vortexathletic Sterling has never been loved or appreciated... Liverpool fanatics can't accept he left the club.
City fans were spoiled, overlook Sterling's 130 goals/95 assists, and love Grealish, even though he'll never contribute what Sterling does.
Sterling joined Chelsea just as the club was in disarray, with all the senior players and manager leaving... Gallagher was horrendous against Leicester and nothing from fans.
@vortexathletic
As “poorly” as Sterling has played this season, he still has 8 goals and 10 assists with more than a quarter of the season to go. Has he been spectacular? No. But he’s contributed more than the media and fans realize.
@Photosoflife Gallagher played most the season as a #10 and only has 2 goals (both against Palace) and 5 assists (one where Mudryk took the ball from Gallagher against Newcastle)...
Only 2 goals and 5 assists, yet Gallagher is absolutely loved... His performance against Leicester was shocking, and shows how difficult Enzo's job is in that role.
It’s bc Sterling took a penalty off Palmer. So it wasn’t “footballing” per se.
Unacceptable. I remember when starling was the only player scoring for Chelsea and all the players were playing like sh!t.
No one is angry at Sterling for "a bad day at the ofice", it's him not passing when he can, not tracking back, concistently missing 1v1s. This stuff builds up. We understand that he's not on form rn, but then it's on Pochettino to not play him, but when he moves Mudryk from 10 to the wing so that sterling can see more of the ball then takes Mudryk off, you can't expect fans to be happy about that.
Well said.
Missing a chance or skying a freekick is one thing. Taking the penalty off Palmer is selfishness, which was never going to work out for him because he's horrible at pens.
Because he is trying to get better by contributing his experience to the team, Unfortunately he couldn’t do as we wanted. All he needs his support and encouragement
Didnhe take it off him or did they allow him to take it to build his confidence??
@@kabiryekeen1930 HE WON THE PENALTY. He already contributed. But he ruined it by trying to take a penalty when he knows that Palmer is the designated taker and is the best in the Premier League, but also that Sterling is AWFUL at penalties. He is selfish. He doesn't care about the team.
@@kddfrost bro we have video of it happening. Don't try to muddy the water with your misinformation. He took the ball off Palmer. He's tried to do it in other games but was stopped by Thiago Silva and Enzo Fernandes. They would never let him take a penalty because he is terrible at them.
You could argue that he was showing leadership by taking the responsibility off a young player and putting it on himself. His only crime might be a lack of self awareness, to realise he's not as good at penalties, but his heart might have been in the right place. I didn't watch it, just a neutral fan for context. I just see how my own teams fans over react and get almost everything wrong in the heat of the moment.
These pundits are hypocrites they are allowed to publicly criticise players and managers when fans do it they have a problem
They ryt though it depends on the situation if they keep booing him he might not get back his confidence
@@geraldmutti2001 We also know that pundits have the power to force an agenda on a player where they end up being booed look at Pogba you could make a strong argument that the pundits created that environment for fans to start booing Pogba
craig literally said “criticizing and analyzing is one thing but being booed by the masses is a totally different thing” so pull your head out of your a$$. it’s their job
@@kylesenninger8542 Has it ever occurred to you that constantly criticising a player publicly would entice negativity towards a player that could lead to them getting booed
@@SonOfBeelzebub no because fans don’t choose who to support based on what pundits say… they make their minds up in the stadiums. and pundits can’t just sit up there and pat everyone on the back, analyzing and criticism is part of their job just as much as highlighting the positives
You guys have been booing and bullying Chelsea Football Club here all days. How do you think the fans take it?
Fans boo him not because he just underperforms. It’s because he doesn’t track back, and plays selfish football. Taking penalties when he shouldn’t, not squaring the ball in 2 on 1 opportunities etc.
I doubt players can take a kick without the coach approval.Messi has missed more penalty than anyone else in football and the last time I checked, messi is the mini goat and sterling is not even close to being on the same planet as messi. So if messi can miss a penalty where the ball is nowhere near the goal then why would you expect better from sterling
@bjvu9460 your just using Messi to make a generality that's actually going away from the point in why he gets booed. It's not just the penalty or a free kick. He plays like he doesn't have a brain
I may be wrong but I think Cole Palmer gave that penalty shoot to sterling
SPOT ON BRO...SELL HIM SAP...............
No excuse. If he wears a Chelsea shirt they get our support.
We all agree it cuts deep. But it has to be said Sterling isn't just "playing poorly", he's playing for himself and not the team. He came from City. He should know all about playing for the team and he has shown anything but
Do you think he cares about chelsea?😂😂😂He is just there for money and for jogging
@@SalmanKhan-yx5uf it's not about caring for a particular team. It's about caring for your team and the win.
EXACTLY WHY PEP LET HIM GO!
@@SalmanKhan-yx5ufhe was just at man city for money too he’s a mercenary lol but the thing about being a mercenary is you are generally paid for being good at your job
@@armanvranka7520if Sterling went to City for money, then who else didn't go to City for money?
Who went to City in 2014 for the badge?😅😅
Note they booed after Mudryk was substituted. Those boos were more for Poch than Sterling. Poch also received the chant, “You don’t know what you’re doing.” They couldn’t boo Poch because it would be confusing. So they chanted that chant while booing the player who should have been taken off the pitch instead of Mudryk.
Yea, that’s what people are missing the fans were mostly booeing poch after the mudryk sub
You have a lot of excuses for stupid behaviour
Sheep
He's been playing terribly this season, and that is while he's been playing very selfish. Chelsea should get rid of him ASAP.
You are in tenth talking about Sterling is terrible, bash all your players not just Sterling
Always protecting the English players. It’s apart of the game. Drogba was booed
Mario hits it on the head. Sterling needs to improve, but he clearly wants to be there and they won the game. They should march Todd Boehly on the pitch for five minutes before each match so the fans can get all their booing out on the real issue.
but he won't improve tho, ppl have been criticizing sterking on the same stuff fornthe past decade and he hasn't improved. Why expect him to now?? Reality is Sterling is not what Chelsea need rn, he's selfish and we have many young players who need time on the pitch
Dan is such a troll 😂 "Mario...Mario, have you been boo'd?" 😂😂
Dan is a prime example of why a good host is so important. The dude is always provoking peak banter😂
@@davismorganmusicDan is the worst football show host youtube has to offer.
Spot on, they hypocritically condemn the fans but what kind of door do you think Dan Thomas is opening every time he plays his little "start, bench or drop" game?
Dan is salty cause he peaked at 11.@@user-vv2yf3uk6h
Sometimes the so called "pundits" are the cheerleaders for the boo birds@@user-vv2yf3uk6h
Those same fans watch pundits like Burley trash players all the time, Burley should take a look in the mirror b4 complaining about fans. When he rants everyday on national tv
Well said
Listen 100% he needs to do better as a 29 year old man but the booing i felt really bad for him man he is really trying.
👍
I’m a Chelsea fan and I was at the match - I can forgive his miss when he was through on goal, I can forgive his freekick that is still orbiting the moon but taking the penalty off Cole Palmer was the one thing I think really upset most of the Chelsea fans. If he had buried the ball in the back of net all is forgiven but it was a truly shockingly weak penalty that came as no surprise to any of the Chelsea fans.
It’s not a disgrace Craig. It’s called “standards” Real Madrid fans do the same. Biggest club in world football
And that is disgraceful real madrid lost two games all season yet the ungrateful fans boo because they think they are entitled to winning 🙄 no one is entitled to winning anything there's a fine line between having high standards and being spoilt cunts 🙄
Those sheep are why you get paid to kick a ball around. You don't like it get a real job like the rest of us.
If Chelsea lost, they would be slamming Poch for keeping Sterling on 😂
The booing was half for pochettino. He has insisted on playing sterling no matter what. They booed that mudryk who was playing better got taken off first. Landed on sterling but a lot of that frustration is on pochettino
Guy plays a good game plan, and is up comfortably 2-0 until a bone head mistake he had no control over scores. Brings on subs for both mudryk and Sterling that score yet y’all don’t like him. Just because he played Sterling a little longer than you wanted. If that isn’t a spoiled rotten fan base then I don’t know what is.
@@richiestocktonI saw people in videos repeating what I said. So I’m not the only one that saw more to it
If Sterling looked like Gallagher, he would be treated like Jack Grealish.
Rarely injured, consummate professional for over 10 years, lost faith in Brendan Rodgers (who Liverpool sacked 3 months after Sterling left)...
Contributed 130 goals/95 assists for Manchester City, replaced by (lesser) much-loved Jack Grealish... Signed by Tuchel who is sacked, played at wingback by Potter, now trying too hard under Pochettino.
People just hate Sterling for no reason. Idk why
People have a right to voice displeasure with a big money signing who perpetually fails to live up to the price tag.
I don't understand the negative notion towards booing players and coaches in Europe. Fans have every right to boo because they are the ones spending their money and putting millions in these guys pockets! If they don't like the product they're getting when going to a game, the team should absolutely hear about it. Booing is normal in American sports, Europeans are just too soft.
I think booing for any reason is rude. Treat people as you want to be treated.
@@Wendy17719 it doesn’t get worse for chelsea, they’re 11th, they’ve had enough of this mediocrity
U can’t be serious saying Europeans are just too soft Europe has some of the most hostile football atmospheres in the world
Most of those millions come from TV rights rather than grown men that go to stadiums and are out of order most of the time. So drop the argument and I don’t think you’ve personally spent millions. Secondly, no one forces anyone to go to watch the games, which by the way can go either way. I think fans of this club frustrations are directed at the wrong people and the expectation for the team to perform better is muddied by the fact that a lot of money has been spent. These same ‘fans’ were calling for the head of Mudryk and Gallagher just a few weeks ago. Let’s see who they will harp on next because it is in their making.
Lastly, let us know when you are playing football so we can come watch how good you are!
Nah, I say let them boo him. Fans don’t pay money to get to the stadium so Sterling can hit them with his free kicks and shot attempts. Some booing would help them build some character too, instead of just building a big bunda.
Sterling is a tap-in player… he wasn’t a striker.
If I pay full price to watch a game live and the players can’t be bothered to play well, then I have every right to Boo and let my feelings known
Good on Craig. Because lost in the media’s obsession to just focus on the negative is that Sterling showed a ton of character almost right after missing the penalty. He won the header and played himself down the line at pace and put in a great assist to Palmer for Chelsea’s 2nd goal. Should Sterling being criticized? Absolutely. But actual objective punditry should include the fact he took matters into his own hands and played a huge part in Chelsea’s second goal right after missing the penalty. That’s character. That needs to be reported as well.
He shouldn’t be taking penalty in first place. Palmer is the designated penalty taker. He has showed no character for the last 18 months. No wonder Pep saw the future and sold him…
Won the header? It was completely unchallenged, nobody near him. And the cross for Palmer was poorly played, behind Palmer.
Sterling shows character? No. We have seen time and time again sterling does not learn. He had chances against wolves and almost three chances in the Leicester game that he could pass to palmer but he did it once and palmer scored that. He does not show any growth signs on tracking back, passing or being a team player. He plays for himself end of story.
@@pallavpurkayastha915 I think Palmer gave penalty to him
Sterling gets judged way harsher than anyone else. He’s got 18 goal contributions this season, which is nowhere near as bad as some players
Exactly
No one is talking about the Disasi own goal. All they’re focusing on is Sterling, as if he didn’t have an assist in the game.
Everyone else is a kid and he's the highest paid
He’s booed because he is trying to take control of situations that he simply can’t do any more, and to say he can’t strike a ball!? In 3 seasons he got 80 goals in 150 appearances, sorry Mario but he has just got lazy and complacent and at his age and wage he should be better and a leader by now
What espn has been saying about Chelsea and Todd is far worse than the boos from the crowd to be honest.
I completely disagree that Poch was “protecting” the player…if he’d done his job aka Sterling didn’t need to start that game tbh, 🥶 Palmer should’ve taken the Pen, and potentially hooked him at half time…the fans would’ve never booed, to make it worse Poch took Mudryk off who was more effective than Raz the whole game…I wasn’t at the stadium but my neighbours got an earfull it was pathetic from the gaffer and honestly I wouldn’t feel sorry to see him out the door…shambolic all round, that game didn’t need to be hard at all!!
Booing your own players is crazy. Almost as crazy as missing a pen and then still deciding to take a free kick, one that you happened to send into orbit. lmao
Sterling has been poor for the last 3 months, so Pochettino shouldn't be picking him at all.
Sterling is a great player, he can improve, but if we get his best version, will be a blessing
Agreed.
Improve?? the same guy that’s 31 right now? whose won almost everything in the English game? That earns 300k per week? Improve for what and for who exactly? he’s best version was him scoring tap ins and being covered by KDB and Bernardo
@@tendonimogoka644329 bro
Sterling is 29. You people are delusional.
@@friendlybane you said that as if it makes a difference 🤣
Why has Sterling morphed into Gervinho? I mean look at his forehead 😭😭😭
He is now Stervinho
😂😂😂
These guys should check out how Philadelphia Eagles fans treat their own team. Even when they are winning and are having a great season.
The eagles fanbase is insane😂😂😂
Can we have a word about Marios green screen please.
Sterling one of the best player special as a wing in the premier league I kept watching him since he was in Liverpool when he got the ball no body can stop him so if he missed penalty its not a big deal
No, he really isn't. City flattered him, playing in a great team.
@@QuicknStraightas a city supporter. That is accurate. I was happy to see him leave
Players should only be booed if they're clearly not trying, or being ultra selfish or showboating. Otherwise, if they're clearly trying but it's just not happening, booing will only make it worse.
its kind of ironic espn fc the most toxic pundits against chelsea has a problem with chelsea fans expressing dissatisfaction against a player(sterling) that seems like he is playing for himself.
The countless greedy plays where he was two on one with the keeper and refused to square the ball for an easy goal for a team mate. taking the penalty off cole palmer who has been automatic from the spot and the wastefulness in front of goal in this game was the tipping point. most of the boos were also directed at poch for keeping him on the pitch for so long and subbing mudryk before.
He had an assist like chill lol. Hits one of those chances and it would have been a good game
Fans don’t boo missing a penalty or kicking a ball to row Z
They boo with continuous lack of effort
How many times am I gonna watch Chelsea and pleading for Raheem Sterling to run more and sprint more and effort!!!!
This wasn’t about a free kick or the fact he’s the highest paid player at 300k plus, or that he should be our most experienced players and a leader. This is about his season as a whole, including stealing the penalty off of cole palmer just to miss. I don’t dislike sterling, but he’s not been good enough.
I think Cole Palmer gave penalty to him
should have never leave city, we wouldnt have done that to him
Pundits previously booed by home fans do not like Sterling being (rightfully) booed by home fans. Shocker. No bias there whatsoever... Stewart Robson is the only sensible sounding one here (host not included).
Where was this support for both Messi and Neymar when they were getting booed by PSG fans?
Til the end of time, people without money will treat people with money like they're robots.
Well said Mario!!!
Timo Werner missed chances badly, very often at Chelsea. But he never once got booed. Because he was a team player that work hard for the club.
Bro had an assist! He wasn’t the worst player on the field by a mile. Plus he made great passes that his teammates couldn’t finish.
Sterling is still the attacker with the most pedigree, I definitely don’t agree with booing him at the stadium, he had a horrible game but we won and he got taken off, no need to boo or whistle your own players. He’s also not had a bad season, he scores or assists semi regularly and we need his experience considering how young the team is
Bet Sterling regretting his decision to leave city for money now..
Come-on melchiot....you are a professional you must perform
An ex-jock dragging the fans on ESPN is extremely on brand. Heaven forbid they boo their betters. Does Burley think this will get him on First Take?
Did I watch the wrong game, or did Sterling not win a penalty and not assist Cole Palmer’s goal? Just saying - when it comes to Sterling, people love to focus on the negatives.
He then took that penalty off Cole Palmer, instead of letting him score. Nice of you to leave that part out for your agenda. No one will take anything you say seriously if you leave out inconvenient facts.
@@friendlybanenot only that we all know the importance of fa cup to Europe yet he took pk off the designated too many times this season he gets one on one to pass for better option he decides to shoot also his assist to Palmer was because he knows mess up and go one on one and miss it will be end of him
Sterling INSERTING himself into roles he doesn't need to. Taking the ball from a 5/5 penalty taker for your own glory or whatever you thoight you'd gain from it, then proceeding to miss is why we as fans are pissed.
The problem was from him. If he hadn't taken that pen and that free kick he wouldn't have been bood. He blocked a clear goal from muldryk
He needs to be in the EFL Championship.
Liverpool supporter here.
I understand their point but I have little sympathy for Sterling. Lack of work ethic and no loyalty don't mix well
Sterling is a Disgrace for taking that penalty not the fan shut up
While I can see the psychological effects part and could get behind that as a Chelsea fan, Sterling has reeked for the majority of the year. The fans need to send a message of standards to the club so we don’t collapse
The real problem is people love knocking down people, sure he's out of form, but we live in a world where we are forever putting people down, sadly these are the times we live in
Fans pay top bucks to watch football on tv and stadium, which helps these clubs pay such inflated wages. Hence they have full right to show their displeasure if any player is not giving his all on the pitch. Dont blame the fans. Blame the player, club and coaching staff.
Epl is toughest league and fans. Zuma get got booed by west ham fans every time he touched the ball and by by the entire stadium for weeks !! now he is their captain😂😂
😂😂😂😂 Flip flops!
Because he kicked a cat indangering a creature two different situations 😂😂
Shame
As a chelsea fan i don’t wanna see this kind of behaviour
A note to craig ,Sterling is permanently missing chances all his career
this current chelsea squad is so poor, there are maybe 5 players good enough to play for chelsea.
It's Poch's fault. Had he yanked him off at halftime, this wouldn't have happened
Didn't the supporters also boo Disasi?
No one talks about him because Sterling is the scapegoat
A lot of those ppl in the stands are haters and not fans. They be watching these players pocket and acting like they own them.
Not big on booing the team I'm rooting for... sterling is so bad I'm shouting at the screen constantly. It's tough. He shouldn't be out there when you're not good anyway and you've got kids you need to develop.
I would rather calp him off and shout get off the pitch rather than booing
This guy became so complacent in City, but was still given respect by the fans.
Complacent? The guy worked his socks off for Pep at City!
@@Carlsbad1985 mate he looked good in city dont try it 😂
This level of football is unacceptable. Knowing what we watched for years to now witness this level of poor football from this new generation and also the refereeing is a disgrace.
Booing has a place
For once i agree with Craig, Sterling gets the worst of it for some reason.
For me he should learn to assist, track back, score goals and be the leader among this youthful team. But Palmer Fernandez Gallagher Jackson are are showing more than him
Lol they amount of times Craig rips into Chelsea, if he was in the crowd he’d be the first one whistling and booing
I’ve always wondered what it’s like to touch Mario “on the inside”
Real Madrid fans booed Cristiano Ronaldo, Raul and Casillas. Why does Chelsea players get a pass. Give me a break.
And as for Burley to the thing about “putting the team on (his) back” in his personal story…
No one is asking for Sterling to put the team on his back. But missing a penalty, sending an easy chip for someone of premier league forward quality wide right and not even hitting the target on a one-v-one, and then skying a free kick to White Hart Lane is a far cry from being asked to put the team on your back. It’s asking him to do the basic a footballer of his quality should be able to do
I hate when other fans tell me how to support my team. They really expect me to watch a sterling who is very comfortable at Chelsea now on those wages and being very close to his family but we’re not allowed to boo him because when he constantly stinks up the gaff we are just supposed to back him like sheep. Also remember Palmer & Gusto are on over 200K less than him but you see what to back from them even in defeats. Fans don’t pay money to watch that just for a Craig Burley who doesn’t have even like club to tell us what right or wrong. No Offense
As Craig said “i can’t carry the whole thing” no one is asking sterling to carry the team. Team is more than capable to carry themselves. Problem is sterling does not have right to take penalty away from palmer even if he won the penalty at first place. Clearly palmer is having a better season than sterling so palmer takes it. 😎 If Jackson had won the penalty, he would not have taken it
paying a lot of money each week for a dribbler that can't score, is just bad ownership.
CR7 was booed at the Bernabeau. WTH is sterling
Individual player should not be targeted but Sterling has to improve his performance.
Xhaka at arsenal comes to mind😂....just shows how strong minded he was to turn it around both at arsenal and now at leverkusen.
The whole management team at the chelsea including on the owners started by making so much mistakes that got us to where we are today. I can't blame these kids....
Fans are booing him bc he’s being the most selfish player on the pitch consistently when he should be leading this young group but instead is acting and playing like a youth player.
1. Throws a fit earlier in the season and tries to take Palmer off PK duties when everyone in the team knows it’s his job. Then this game decides ohh I’m taking the PK, not Palmer. What kind of leadership is that!? He should be the on picking up the ball and giving it to Palmer and give him the confidence to do his job, instead selfish act again
2. Will look over players wide open and proceed to dribble into traffic, lose the ball, and then give you nothing to try and win it back. The amount of assists he could have when he’s on a break and all he has to do is square it is ridiculous, instead selfishly tries to force himself into the spotlight 24/7
Sterling deserves all the boo’s not bc of poor form either, it’s bc he shows no humility and never once tries to be a senior leader in the squad when he’s one of the most decorated players in the side. Ridiculous behavior
Im really starting to see y everyone thinks espn hates CHELSEA
Timo Werner missed every shot he ever took, Kai Havertz ran in a game if he didn’t have the ball or thought he would get it and no one can say for sure they ever saw him make a tackle or even attempted one yet they didn’t get booed I wonder why
I have never seen anything like Raheem sterling on Sunday....the way he hit that penalty and how he run into opposition players and missing one on one and not making efforts to make runs...yes he made that assist,I have never seen such a poor performance from any player ever...so poor...he seemed to have psychological issues looking down....pochetino made it worse by keeping sterling....I thought he would never start for the second half...you guys what are you talking about...a player is paid a lot to play better than sterling did...it's not about the penalty it's about how he behaved by playing a lazy game
Yeah fk their feelings. They get paid thousands a week to play for the team. Sterling absolutely deserved to get booed for that awful performance.
Starling played for the opponents today.He went for the penalty knowing he cannot take a good penalty he blocked a shot from Mudryk that was obviously going to be a goal,had a one on one chance and he sent the ball miles away from the goal,took the poorest free kick,made da worst dribbles a forward could ever make etc.But am not surprised these clowns are defending him,they are clearly Chelsea haters
Sterling and poch should both leave our club.
Craig is always sounding off on someone or something 😂😂
Was disappointed with the boos cause in the start of the season Sterling was praised for winning games. I’m saying that his also being compared to himself. Start of season Sterling vs Sterling now it’s a massive gap!
Sterling not being able to strike the ball is one of the dumbest false narratives in the history of football. These pundits just repeat the nonsense that other so-called journalists writes. And before you know it some kid is on social media spreading that nonsense. How can a player who doesn't know how to strike a ball score over 100 goals for a club where he was consistently among the top goal contributors.
They need to start giving aptitude test to these ppl before putting them on TV.
he has had alot of bad days at the office
sterling shouldn't have signed for chelsea, i dont know why chelsea went for him to begin with.
Craig, it's not a bad day at the offide , it ts been a bad season, of watching Raheem being Selfish, and I don't think he's the problem, it's the direction and the coach. The fans pay their money, he's a senior he should be able to take criticism. Jackson/mudryk they've all been bood
Since he feel he get to good and left city he went down hill , pep transformed sterling and he taught he could go to a higher lever
What a rubbish take on this
The decision to leave Sterling on and take Mudryk off was booed. These clowns ignore it.
A player having one of the worst performances in Chelsea's premier league era history was NOT taken off. He missed an easy 1v1, fluffed a chance and got LUCKY to be fouled for the pen, stole the pen off a young gun who is automatic from the spot, and kicked a free kick out of the stadium.
Mudryk was moved during the game to accommodate Sterling who wasn't doing much on the left. Sterling keeps getting picked and prioritised over a squad full of young attacking promise that need the minutes.
The booing is mainly for the manager.
(Yes some will boo Sterling, but he's brought plenty on himself too with selfishly never passing for tap ins.)
