They boo him not because he isnt world class.... It is because he is selfish. The number of times he fails to pass to players in better positions is ridiculous. Selfish boy who plays for himself.
100% correct....it's week in week out and playing for England too
@grantmorriss2557 The guy was trying too hard yesterday... Pochettino could have easily saved he from himself by mandating Palmer took all penalities and free kicks (especially the free kick, because that came after half-time)...
Jesus….. imagine you signed Rashford….. i agree Sterling is and always has been overrated. Reminds me of Kyle Walker…. Pace is really all he has/had. He’s a dwindling force nowadays
He has always been useless in front of goal.
Perfectly sums him up!
Don’t remember us Chelsea fans calling him world class when we signed him. The media branded him world class after the last euros… the Boos from the crowd are mostly directed at Poch for somehow leaving a player on the pitch having an absolute stinker.
Thats exactly how I viewed it. Didn't think any chelsea fan viewed him as more than a squad player
Yeah I wanted him subbed but credit to poch. Both subs scored.
no Chelsea fan ever called Sterling world class, majority let alone didn't want him in the first place lol. He's been average since he signed, ruining counter attacks by stopping to face the defender slowing the game, forcing touches when it should be a one-touch shot or pass, selfishly taking over pens and free kicks. Oh and not cutting-back on a 2v1 against the keeper 3 times this season
Fantastic analysis. Sterling is a cancer but the pundits suck him off at every chance because he is... was... an England International.
And getting 330k a week. Expect some standard of ability. The other guys on the pitch earn alot less and are much better
I know. Made up story to justify clicks. Sterling never has been anything other than fast and pretty good.
@@stephenhenderson9535 even forgot about that, our highest earner
@@HenriKBSF yeah by about 100k. Off load him and kepa in the summer .
Sterling went into business for himself when he stole the penalty from Palmer. When he did it again with the free kick and fluffed that as well, Chelsea supporters rightly let him have it.
Poch should've yanked him!
And the many times he’s been clean through and able to square it to someone else for a tap in, to then ignore it and usually pass the ball at the keeper or just miss the target completely.
I agree with that, it was due to his selfish action
We all know why they boo him.
Wouldn’t let him on a train either
He’s Chelsea’s designated free kick taker btw
Deserved every boo and more. I've watched every game since Sterlings been there, he plays for himself, he's selfish and only cares about his own stats rather than the team.
How can you explain those three chances...missing a penalty, hitting the fans one on one with the keeper and skying a free kick...Off to Saudi
Saudi ain't having him psl
Even if they did, he wouldn’t go….he is back home (Wembley) with his friends and family.
Chelsea fans aren’t annoyed because he’s not world class, they’re annoyed because he’s been poor
And he's being paid as a world class player....City didn't even want to extend his contract when we offered him a lifeline
Yeah it a poor take from Simon Jordan.
For many games...we cant develop with Sterling and Sanchez
Excellent point 👍🏼👏🏼
It’s because he is selfish . He didn’t pass to palmer in the week against Newcastle and there’s a few other times we should have scored and he was greedy this year
Every Chelsea fan saw the issue, we were screaming at our TVs if we were not in the stands. Most managers would have pulled Sterling earlier, Pep would have pulled Sterling had that performance at City. Sterling has had moments, but at 350K a week, there should be much more.
Agree ..should have been hooked at half time ..that's what infuriated the fans.
Money doesn't make you a better player, sterling is your boss
Where was this outrage when mudryk and cucurella were booed? Didn’t have the right passport I guess
The English Bias is super myopic it's becoming pathetic these days
This shows that they watch Chelsea, Sterlings been woeful for months now. Failing to square the ball multiple times led us to lose games he’s a senior player on 300k a week come on
Simon has to be the most toxic person on the planet to listen to and i'm not even a chelsea fan. sterling has brought nothing to chelsea besides his selfish play. he's so frustrating to watch because everything about him is SO predictable
Why is Simon the most toxic person? Because he says what he thinks with no room for interpretation?
Amazed that neither pundits mentioned that Sterling took a penalty before Cole Palmer, and then a free kick over Cole Palmer who is a much more technically gifted player then Sterling ever has or ever will be. Someone on the Chelsea team or bench should have pulled rank and told Sterling to sod off and give Palmer the ball.
Sterling is your most influential player the young players admire him he is your best player
@dondamon4669 take your trolling somewhere else, what nonsense about hes our best player. Pipe down troll
Cole Palmer has not won anything and if he was that good why did Man City wish him all the best ( A polite way of saying Surplus to Requirements )
Sterling has never really made the effort to build a relationship with the fans. He's on £325k a week and some of his performances are well below par and lazy! He also NEVER goes to thank and applaud the supporters at the end of games. Rarely gives interviews or interacts with fans. There's a definite feeling he's just here for the paycheck. So it's no surprise that he doesn't get the patience that other struggling players like Torres, Werner and Mudryk get from the stands. Simon has no right to have an opinion on how Chelsea fans should feel. We are the supporters, we pay our money and we have a right to voice our dissatisfaction .
Exactly, he came back to London to retire, dream move for him, 325K a week (another 3 years remaining) back home with his friends and family (Wembley). I’m not really angry with him though to be fair…..it’s the stupid dumb board that is the problem.
What has how much he gets paid got to do with anything? The problem I have with most English football fans is this bitterness on how much a players earns and thus gives them the right to boo their own.....STUPID BEHAVIOUR!!! Raheem Sterling had a bad day at the office like we all do. I hope Chelsea win teh FA Cup.
He has been nothing short of woeful recently, but it's his selfishness (from not squaring the ball to teammates free for a tap-in and fluffing the chance himself on multiple occasions to yesterday with the pen and free kick) and laziness (leaving his LB exposed time and again because he didn't bother to track back) that have put Chelsea fans off him. We'll back a guy that works hard and gives his all, even if he isn't delivering on the pitch (just look at the likes of Torres and Timo Werner, who never got booed)
Weird thing is, hard work and application were two qualities you'd say Sterling always had but maybe he's burnt out? The other frustrating thing is that Poch isn't helping Sterling's case. The fans are getting angry because there are other players showing some decent form that he's been starting ahead of week in, week out
He's on £325k per week.
His wage says world class, his performances are bettered by £100k per week players, regularly.
The problem with Sterling, is similar to Poch, we were ok with being less than world class, but when you make errors that appear to be schoolboy level, that's when they get wrote off. With sterling it's failing to square the ball in FOUR recent 2 v 1s, and Poch's refusal to be PROactive, rather than REactive with his subs..
What has his wages got to do with anything? Players have to put in a shift but missing chances happens to ALL players. You sound bitter about the money.....
@gerardonochie3408 sure, and if players are trying to do the right thing, I'm ok with them failing. When he went through, 1 on 1 with the keeper against Leicester, I was disappointed he didn't score, but I forgive that, and it took skill to create the chance. 4 time however he has shown selfishness, over the team. That for me is the problem. He's playing for himself, not the club. The price does come into his finishing, but I wouldn't be quite so harsh if it was just that.
Poch sat on the bench quietly whilst sterling went for his own personal glory . Pitch should have stopped the situation from ever happening . Imagine tuchel after that happened
I think bringing back tuchel is not a bad idea. We're not shooting for the league or ucl and i personally think he's a far better manager than poch. Although this will probably never happen in boehly era.
Tuchel 😂 complete clown
If he didn't have pace he wouldn't cut it in the championship
31 goals a season.try harder hes miles better than every player in the chelsea squad
I don't get such comments he's literally carried chelsea at the start of the season 😊
I have never agreed with Simon more on any other topic. Raheem Sterling was never world-class. He is actually above average. It's not a coincidence that he left City, and we finally got the CL and Treble. He also has an ego that doesn't match his ability, and on top of that, he wants more money. England will win the Euro if they dont take Sterling. He is a systems player at best and a liability at worst.
You didn’t win the treble because Sterling left!!! Although it was good business. Contrary to the Palmer deal as he’s better than Sterling, Doku and Grealish all put together !!
Fully agree. He never was an elite player to me
Sterling’s average
Only Guardiola can make a player like that look world class.
@@TP-pq9xxHe's looked pretty good for England in several tournaments albeit whilst at City. Leavings ruined his career. I'd still give him a chance to revive it because I'd rather take him than Rashford or Grealish
@@themoststupidpersonwhoever4891 no he hasn't. He had one decent tournament at euro 2020. Apart from that he struggled.
@@themoststupidpersonwhoever4891 International football is of a very low standard and you shouldn't evaluate any players based on that.
Shows how little Jordan knows. Mudryk has scored goals, played well and then been left out of the team for the next match.
Sterling has been pathetic for CFC but to boo him isnt fair…
On the penalty, CP has to be the main penalty taker when he is playing!
IMO I think the boos were because he was having such a poor game but somehow lasted that long. Also he’s quite a selfish football player
The man is on 300k plus bonuses a week !!!! He deserved the booing ! Also a very selfish player, cant wait till he's sold ...hopefull that will be in the summer.
No one is picking up that contract.
@@TP-pq9xx Saudi club will.
@@HowTheLittlePiggiesWillGrunt Fat chance. Saudi teams haven't picked up any contracts even close to that. Almost every "big" player they've signed had a year left at most or was a free agent. Sterling has 3 more years left.
@@TP-pq9xx ? Free agents, but all them players going to Saudi are on massive wages !!. Sterling will be gone in summer he's wages are a joke for what we get in return.
@@HowTheLittlePiggiesWillGruntSterling is still owed 50m in wages from Chelsea and that’s without any transfer fee on top. Do you think Chelsea will sell him to Saudi for free? And there’s also that Sterling might not agree to join the Saudi league in the first place, so then Chelsea would be back to having zero suitors. He’s already on ridiculously massive wages so he doesn’t need to go to Saudi at all.
Because he's not world class? Simon has lost it. What the fans are asking for are the basics to be done. For there to be a little bit of care and responsibility. Not all of this is Sterling's fault, but I think what the fans want is the bare minimum at this point.
Sterling is basically the captain to all your kid players
Sterling brings it on himself. On 3 occasions this season hes gone through one on one with a player alongside him for a tap in and doesn't pass. Takes the ball off Palmer for the pen. Selfish and bone idle whoever plays behind him is always over worked because he doesn't track back.
Pep made Sterling look better than he actually is. Keep him off the ball and he shines.
As a liverpool supporter , he could have been world class but turn out a flop , he ask to be put up front and he's last season he was all season and only got 7 pl goals, if he was world class he would have had 25, not a team player only thinks of himself
Yeah sure, throw the terms out the window.
He still earns $325k a week and he can't lay off multiple tap ins, steals pens from a young gun who hasn't missed one and blasts free kicks over the roof.
He needs to go. Yesterday.
The anger of the fans is primarily towards the owners. Sterling & Poch are symptoms of the abhorrent leadership (or lack thereof)
The Captain should have stepped up at the penalty, and reminded Sterling who the penalty taker is. I'm not negating blame for anyone else, I am just saying - the captain is also, responsible.
Although we won, it was an absolute shambles. Chelsea need to talk to the fans, those boos were heard around the country.
We don't have any captain's
Gallagher can’t even tell anyone to move forward, can’t tell anyone to keep their heads up and you expect him to tell Sterling to give Palmer the ball?
Thats the biggest problem with Chelsea....
They have no leaders!
Sterling an athlete more than a talented footballer
AND STILL HE MADE IT TO THE BEST LEAGUE IN THE WORLD…WHILE YOU BASH HIM IN TH-cam COMMENTS SECTIONS LOL
@@mphomokoena8835 Yeah, mainly via his athleticism. I'm comparing him to his peers. He's middle of the road ability wise.
There's no way you can have a player playing so badly and have him on the field that long.
the opinion of poch for chelsea fan is he isnt good enough. won nothing and been at spurs. hes done nothing in his manager carer and shouldnt be anywhere near chelsea. BRING BACK MOURINHO!
Well, it took about 10 years, but finally people are being honest about Raheem Sterling. He's the same player he's always been, but now he's finally lost his place in the England squad, the media are longer protecting him with their bias propaganda. He has to be one of the most over hyped players in football history.
Sterling and Pochettino weren't booed just for yesterday's game. Sterling has been awful for weeks, taking the place of a younger player without justifying his selection. He doesn't track back to help the defence, he continues to lose the ball, runs down blind alleys and has frequently missed chances when teammates were in better positions.
Sterling was stepping on Palmer? Palmer is outclassing Sterling
Why did Sterling take the penalty? Palmer was on the pitch he is the penalty taker and as far as I can remember he hasn't missed one yet. If Sterling decided to take it himself for some reason then I'm disgusted. When he played for Liverpool and City I didn't rate him and my opinion hasn't changed now. He is very fast but can't even strike a football properly. Not a natural footballer at all.
Either pochh decided or sterling. Either way anyone with a brain knows it should have been palmer. Hence boos
It's crazy. Palmer is a brilliant ball striker. There is no one on that team who should ever take a penalty while he's on the field, and there are usually two midfielders on the pitch for Chelsea that I would rather have take a pen than Sterling.
@@bleb87worry about the relegation battle👍its gonna be a hectic of a rollercoaster😂
As a chelsea fan I can confirm Sterling is not world class, the boos come simply because he called rank on the penalty over palmer and missed it, then done the same with the free kick after the red card and sent it into row Z… he made the bed for himself so let him lie in it 🙃
Anytime Noni or Mudryk have a bad game Poch always take them off and bench them for sometime. But sterling always plays no matter how terrible he plays. Pochettino is a mediocre coach
me and my friends would always joke that sterling has a billion pound bet with someone that he'll finish his career with the most nutmegs. it's the only explanation for why he never seems to see the pass and always takes people on by trying to go directly through them
Chelsea fans thought they were getting the man city version of sterling. There's a reason city let him leave
325k a week you have to expect to be held to the highest standard
Can you imagine to defend a player who kicks the ball out of space from the penalty box?!?
No sensible Chelsea fan views Sterling as world class. Don't know where Jordan got that from. The reason for all this is that Sterling has been a VERY frustrating player for Chelsea, with more misses than hits.
when you're the highest earner at the club like Sterling is & the 2nd most experienced player in a squad full of youngsters. Instead of showing them the way through his performances, he is doing the exact opposite by being the most selfish player, who doesn't produce enough good performances for someone of his supposed stature. It's best he moves on to Saudi League in the summer and save us his wages
He’s not going to Saudi, and why would he? He’s on a lovely 5 year contract (3 years remaining) on 325K a week, he’s back at his home (Wembley) with his childhood friends and all his family? He’s 29 and I’m pretty sure he doesn’t need the money….he came back to london to retire. Again this on the board. Can’t really blame Sterling for that. He’s obviously got a very good football agent that waffled to the board and now he’s laughing all the way to the bank.
Based on the performance on the day Sterling was not playing well we're as Mudryk was doing everything asked of him
due to pochettino's decisions Chelsea won ? yeah when he took Sterling off they scored 2 within minutes of eachother
Sterlings free kick....😐😐😐😐
Still going
If it wasn't for the fact that he was blessed with that elite level 'low-centre-of-gravity' speed over 10 yards, he would be playing in the Pub leagues. Never seen a footballer playing in the Premier League and for the England Team with such a low level of footballing intelligence and consistent atrocious finishing.
Why do we boo Sterling is a selfish player the only skill he really has is his speed. No better than Sean Wright Phillips.often to many touches and runs into trouble to often.
Poch as with every manager since Thomas Tutchel is a yes man.
He won nothing at spurs because he's a bottle job .he won't win anything at Chelsea because he doesn't have the winning mentality.He is only a front man for this management. As he was at spurs under Levy.
Sterling showed us how his kind ns work... he deserved it. Never been world class, carried by his teammates every team he's played in.
Thats a sad one, sterling misses too many chances, they bigging him up like they bigging declan rice now at arsenal, i actually blame the british media 4 this.
He had one world class season at Man City during that 19-20 season... he hasnt replicated that form since.
He wasn't world class coming in to chelsea so why would we boo him for that. It's his decision making. Plus he's one of the most senior players and has done next to nothing. Should be leading by example.
Definitely not.. no where near
POCH HAS RUINED MUDRYK IF PEP OR KLOPP HAD HIM HE BE FLYING
My thought is that mudryks biggest problem atm is confidence, this lets him know the fans are behind him. I think this could help a lot with his confidence
So so so glad he isn’t wearing a City shirt anymore.
How a professional footballer can have such bad decision making and finishing at that level and earn what he does is simply amazing.
Glad he isn’t missing 3/4 sitters a game to score the one he shouldn’t……
Terrible.
Great substitutions TBF. They both scored.
Elite Jordanite = Top LAD Proper Clobber 💯 Facts
Some players are a 6 out of 10, every week...
Sterling can be an 8, and he can be a 3... The problem is that he can be a 3... It's baffling.
He's a prancing fairy. Since his Liverpool days Sterling would always take 8 touches instead of 2, and clinical finishing is just beyond him. He should have been cultivated as a winger not striker
Mudryk had one of the best performance he’s has ever had in a blue shirt. It was criminal to take him off instead of Sterling.
Mudryk, Cucurella and Jackson have all been treated harsher by fans. Sterling should get over it and apply himself better.
Even Drogba was booed before he fixed up.
Chelsea Football Club gave Sterling a chance to play for a huge Club in London a Club that fights for trophies 🏆🥇 but he don’t seem to care about that and keeps annoying Chelsea Fans 🤔
Bringing him to Stamford Bridge wasn’t a very clever idea I know they bought him to help young players but look he is not doing anything to help those young players on the pitch he is been so far disappointing to watch 🫣
Lost count of how many times I've seen Stirling run head long, straight into two defenders and loose the ball. He does it at least 3-4 times a game.
Werner had a tough time but NEVER got booed because the fans appreciated his efforts.
You are right Simon, Sterling is an experienced footballer, he is going to his best going into his greatness if the young team (Chelsea FC) can understand the team chemistry!
Martin kept talking about Mudrić... who's that.
The second he demanded that penalty that we all knew he'd miss, i think it was the moment he annoyed everyone. Even the way Cole gave him the ball showed that it wasnt his choice to give it to Sterling.
So he wants the hall when its pens which Cole is on. Then when its freekicks in his range he ALSO wants the ball.
he also somehow managed to fluff a 1v1 where he couldve easily squared the ball to cole who was on his right hand side if he knew he cant score it. Oh and its the 4th time he couldve squared a ball but chose not to. And in all occurances he missed.
A lot of people say Chelsea didnt buy experience, but he is the experience we have.and he performes no different to the inexperienced players if not worse.
He only ever shows up against Man Ciry like he has some point to prove to Pep.
Many players have bad games in a Chelsea shirt. But the effort and selflessness doesnt go unrecognised. But Sterling is so selfish he doesnt even knoe when to release the ball. He like to be a ball carrier. And ive lost the amount of times he's lost the ball in this process of tryna sprint through traffic
Sterling is only a very good player in a team that has other very good players.
At city he missed loads as well but got 6 chances every game.
For a player of his experience he has major issues in striking a football consistently well.
He has no chance of ever getting back in the England squad with the players we have in his position.
Poch is not stupid lol
Who's coming to Chelsea to hunt glory these days? Some of these messages have to be made up.
Sterling has never been considered world class especially by Chelsea fans Simon. He hasn't been good enough for us since he came, few good games here and there but inconsistent and selfish player. He can go this summer in my opinion we won't miss him.
Booing is not good, agree, but did Sterling try to step on Cole? He poured tons of negativity energy
he does not justify his price tag or his wage and he's selfish and thinks he's better than he is, THAT'S the issue the supporters have with him.
If Sterling didn't have pace he'd be playing in non league football.
Awful player with a big ego. He has to go this summer.
In Poch I trust. Sterling is having an off period. But the positions he got in and responsibility he took on I do admire. Didn’t shy away from both these things. Us Chelsea fans are too spoiled. They don’t see the positive when there’s both negative and positive to be had.
STERLING COULD MISS AY MAN CITY AS IT DIDNT MATTER BUT AT CHELSEA HIS MISSES ARE SO CRUCIAL
Rashford performs. Sterling is just selfish.
I love Sterling. Best choice on left wing if not Phil Foden is going to play there. Its better for National team with Sterling Kane combo, than Grealish Kane combo.
Totally Agree with Simon, Absolutely Spot on, But Poch Has a Chance to Change the success of his Career By Winning Silverware because He Has the Ability to Win Trophies and Now he Has Better Players and a Club that Is Know for Winning Titles and Silverware if they Back him and Give him Few more Players, Poch Can Win Trophies in England i Strongly believe He Can It would Take a lil Time but he Can.. The Team jist Has to Take responsibility for There on Field Actions And DO BETTER BECAUSE THEN CAN DO BETTER..
Nobody including the coach has the right to tell the fans they are wrong. Sterling had a horrendous display and then coach takes out Mudrik
It's okay to boo Rashford but not okay for Sterling 😂😂😂
No Simon a Chelsea fan wants to see an experienced England international doing the basics well...
The two substitutes scored the two winning goals. There’s a reason the fans pay to be there and the coach is paid to be there.
In a team full of youngsters you'd expect to look to a player of Sterling's experience for leadership. Instead, he time and time again shows selfishness. There is no valid reason as to why he should be taking a penalty off Palmer when we were only 1 0 up at the time.
Sterling is at that stage in his career where he should be playing in The Saudi league or the MLS
Sterling should of never went to Chelsea after what happened to him. it was always a matter of time before this situation happened.
Poch did something to what Graham Taylor did with John Barnes when the England idiots booed him by keeping him on the pitch.
Talksport is the epitome of short termism...the reason Jordan stands out is he sticks to his guns (sometimes too much). It was not long ago the pundits here were hollering for him to be picked for England when he had a good patch early season. Sterling has been on a downward spiral for a few seasons he will have patches, but he is not the player of a 3 years ago - its why Man City got rid and eventually you can see Chelsea moving him onto a West Ham or similar mid table club. Gone are the days he was a handful, was he world class ? that's a misnomer, he was a decent champions league player and did a job for his country
Sterling is on 350k a week. He’s an established professional who the fans are entitled to expect a certain level of from. He fails to pass to players who could have tap ins in favour of trying to score himself, he misses clear cut chances every game and he’s selfish enough to take the ball from our best penalty taker because he’s deluded about his own levels. Genuine mistakes are ok at times but when they happen every week you have to start questioning the player’s professionalism and work rate at making sure his levels stay high in training and matches
As a Chelsea fan it's not inorder to booh him, i do not support that. But talking about situation in Chelsea players are the one to be blamed especially front players, for being selfish, missing clear chances, you could find that when they fail to score the opponents never miss, secondly we keep on blaming porchettino .if we talk reality if Chelsea players scored 50percent of the chances they could be in number 5 to 4.
No, it's because he took the penalty from palmer who has been consistently scoring penalties and missed it. He's been selfish and missed over and over. It's been 2 years of this and it was a boiling point where people had enough.
😂😂 we never saw him as world-class.. so Simon, that waffle is irrelevant. He's earning 325k a week. I expect the dwarf to be putting in 7 out of 10 performances week in and week out minimum.
Chelsea are at the moment the 7th to 9th best team in the league. They need some experience. Jordan Henderson or Gundagon would see them improve to 4th or 5rh best y
Team
Martin it wasn't what the crowd wanted, it was what was frigging obvious that needed to be done. Taking off Mudryk SPARKED the annoyance at the decision. Before that the crowd was just booing a bad performance. Are you saying that any player that's booed shouldn't be taken off, because the supporters will win?
Are we all supposed to just sit there and be well behaved little boys and girls?
I dont agree with Simon. Chelsea fans were resistant to Sterling ftom the start.
The fans haven’t taken to x spurs manager Poch. That’s it, he’s gotta prove he knows what he’s doing, he isn’t doing that, Chelsea are playing worse now than any point in the season. Poch needs to show us where he is helping!! We don’t see it.
By the way Simon, no Chelsea fan pleaded with anyone to “save” our club.
Ibe seen more comical own goals than chelseas at weekend
Sterling has made the most of what he has football wise and is being found out. Pep sold him as he gets in a load of good positions, but misses a lot (costing them probably a CL with one of his most high profile balls ups). More power to him though as hes so quick and when his heads right he has a finish in there, but hes always been massivly overrated.
