Last season Sterling had the 3rd highest successful dribbles in the Prem at 2.8 per game, but was dispossessed on average 2 per game.
Hazard and Suarez had more successful dribbles 3.8 and 2.8 respectively but Hazard was dispossessed 2.3 and Suarez 1.8.
Barkley had 2.4 successful dribbles per game but was dispossessed 1.7 per game.
Sterling has a long way to go to emulate Messi who was successful with 4.6 dribbles per game but was dispossessed on average 2.2 per game.
Rodger's, and other LFC players, has a habit of talking players up. It feeds the oxygen of publicity to a compliant RS dominated media, which has got worse under Rodgers. Every player becomes a world beater, the latest being the 'Sterling is as good as Messi' bull. When Coutinho plays half decent Rodger's will be saying, 'if only big Phil had listened to me, and Coutinho had played for Brazil in the world cup then they would have been better, and probably have won it'.
Brenda is a self publicist, that loves to hear his own voice, and with the RS dominated media hanging on his every word, for Shanklyesk 'wisdom' he will continue to talk out of his backside. No wonder he gets rid of seasoned professionals, they are probably laughing at him every time he opens his mouth, and gets in impressionable youngsters or those wanting the opportunity to play for a team near the top, Lallana, Lovrens and lump it to Lambo, who will lap up any bull. And like Joe Cole will toe the cult's line in proclaiming LFC the greatest thing since sliced bread.
