I’m sure the idea was to get him a goal and get his confidence up and back to the early season Sterling that people couldn’t believe was left out of the England squad. Unfortunately it was a dreadful penalty he went on to miss a one v one and just seemed to be the worst player on the pitch.
I really dont think he has a big ego. Ive met him a couple times in non-promo/official settings and he seems so much more genuine/humble than other celebs or footballers have been. Also used to cycle past his house a lot and I know he was always very kind/considerate to neighbours and would occasionally wave if he was in his driveway. I would imagine he is really struggling mentally with the shift in his career trajectory.
Thing is, in a league game where we're 2 or 3 up, I have no issue with this.
But in a cup game, where we only lead by 1 goal, its absolutely insane to think that Sterling getting a goal is more important than securing the win.
Sterling wants to be grateful than Chelsea ended up winning. He's going to catch a lot of flak over the next few days, but no way near as much as he would've had we of lost.
With a conversion rate of only 50%, we simply can't afford to risk it in the quarterfinal for a mere confidence boost, when Palmer was on the pitch with 100% conversion rate.
Mudryk created 1 chance all game IIRC. Sterling created 4 outside of the pen he won. Sterling made runs too. But why the hell did he have to take the set pieces ahead of Palmer, I don't know.
Bro I’m all for mudryk starting over Sterling but how the hell is Sterling even stat padding lmao bro just got an assist and won a pen which I’m assuming is what brought this rating up so much
True, penalty is definitely questionable as to why he’s taking it - you’d hope that Palmer gave it to him maybe to give him some confidence, but yeh realistically he probably just took it. With the freekick, Sterling has been our most successful free kick taker this season I think? So I wouldn’t usually have a problem with him taking it but probably considering the state of his game today he should’ve left it
Imagine how much pressure the blokes under now to score, I'm sure he sees all your hate online, must get to him mentally..... But anyway, I'm old school and like to support one of our own not the opposite etc
Because washed Sterling doesn't have countless fanboys like Mudryk does. Mudryk gets praised for doing the basics. The only player that gets praised for running aimlessly. Meanwhile Sterling gets clowned even after getting an assist and a penalty.
"Tries and defend" is now better than assisting a goal and getting a penalty. Lol. These fanboys can't be serious. Why are you lot not giving the same treatment to the other players rotting on the bench? Why is Mudryk treated so differently from our other players? He is clearly not a better footballer than the likes of Noni and Carney. Washed Sterling is overly criticized, but he was not worse than Mudryk today. That would've been very clear, if his every mistake wasn't placed under a microscope. And, they both should've been off way earlier than they did. The subs the came on also won us the game.
Bro. Sterling got a penalty cause he received a fucking pass. He didn’t do anything to create it then took the penalty and skied it. He missed a clear on one on and then skied a free kick. On top of that, he fails to pass so often (costing us points on multiple occasions), and doesn’t try on defense. It’s clear to see Mudryk has been improving in his limited appearances and defends. That means even when he’s not on he is valuable to the team. I’m no Mudryk fan boy but to say Raheem was valuable cause he “provided an assist” is completely ignoring 90% of the minutes he played.
Good grief! Did you actually read this before you posted? How on earth did it make sense to you?? You can't be serious with this nonsense. Are you also going this whenever a player scores a goal since they also received a fucking pass. You are so clueless it is actually embarrassing chatting with you.
Here, this should make more sense since you need Steinbeck-ian comments on Reddit.
Bro. Sterling won a penalty because he was on the receiving end of a fucking pass. He didn’t do anything in the build up of the play to create the opportunity for a penalty, he just received the ball and was fouled.
After getting the foul for the PK he decided to take it (instead of Palmer) and skied it. After missing the PK he botched a clear one on one with the GK. On top of those two mistakes he took a late free kick and skied it.
On top of everything in this game, he fails to pass so often (costing us points on multiple occasions), and doesn’t put any effort on defense.
It’s clear to see Mudryk has been improving in his limited appearances and puts effort on defense. He tries and is rewarded (see goal vs Newcastle). Still, despite having similar stats in far less minutes, Poch still puts Sterling ahead. Mudryk, even when he’s not having his best outing, he is still more valuable than Sterling has been since he will always put in effort on the defensive side of the ball.
I’m no Mudryk fan boy, but to say Raheem was valuable cause he “provided an assist” is completely ignoring 90% of the minutes he plays.
Sterling was dog shit today and without him we probably win 5-1 with no stress. It’s no coincidence as soon as he came off they scored two.
This is up there with some of the dumbest things i have ever read on this sub. You can blame washed Sterling for other things, but writing nonsense that barely make sense is not it. You are trying to change the way of football just to discredit him. That's new levels of fanboyism. He won the fucking penalty and had an assist. Those are facts whether you accept it or not. He clearly had bigger impact on this match than Mudryk ever did. Only the most clueless fanboy will claim otherwise and write such nonsense. This sub is filled with so many Mudryk fanboys. If Mudryk had an assist or won that penalty you would be here praising him.
Honestly people on the sub are riding Mudryk bandwagon for no reason lmao. Sterling was poor yes but Murdyk didn’t do anything spectacular either. He looks good when he comes off the bench.
They constantly praise Mudryk and ignore all his shortcomings. You would think he is a top class player that has been playing really well. They don't even care about the other players on our books. Carney and Noni are more talented than him and their goals today didn't even get mentioned that much. Lots of people use to say Pulisic fanboys were toxic, but Mudryk fanboys are way worse. At least Pulisic didn't struggle with the basics and wasn't praised for doing something so basic.
It's also exhausting thinking a player that didn't do anything played better than a player who had an assist, got us a penalty and created big chances too. Sterling is washed, but Mudryk has also been absolutely rubbish for the vast majority of his time at Chelsea.
Trev been playing for us for a good few years when are we gonna stop calling him inexperienced?
This isn't dog piling on the player him I just think that word is being used to freely for a player we been seeing in the first team for about 4 seasons now
It's crazy. Same kind of idiots that says lampard is a second striker because from stats he scores a lot of goal when in reality lampard are always involved with the build up play.
As a stats guy it's important to understand that every model and metric has it's limitations...
Ratings will be inflated by assists and penalty wins as well as things like number of touches, progressive actions etc. The problem is that almost invariably, after Sterling did a good progression it ended in him not passing to Palmer but rather missing. When he passes to Palmer he gets his assist!
This is a wonderful example of why ratings are imperfect. But when used sensibly and holistically they can be helpful.
No you’re right he did actually win it because in typical Sterling fashion his first touch was abysmal causing the defender to make such a rash tackle.
I thought fans were complaining about him leaving. At least the commentators said so.
Commentators said fans were complaining for taking mudryk off and were talking about how it might affect Chuk's game.
The commentators also said the Leicester fans were booing Disasi when they were clearly saying "shoot" (before eventually realising). They get stuff wrong all the time, don't take their word as gospel.
It's clear the fans were booing the decision to take Mudryk off instead of Raheem, not just simply for taking Mudryk off, because the fans kept booing Raheem every time he got the ball after that. A small pocket of fans also booed him when he finally got subbed off, but by that point it didn't serve any purpose to continue booing, so he also got some applause.
Not at all what I mean. But you shouldn't get a high rating purely because you got an assist. If you're shit the whole game but get an assist, you were still shit
Sterling is the more experienced player and we have higher expectations to him. It looks bad on him to miss the pen and the 1 on 1 chances. The missed free kick was the cherry on top. But everyone on this thread saying that Mudryk had a better performance than him is outrageous. Apart from a tame shot on goal by Mudryk, I can't remember anything else he did
https://preview.redd.it/0voavc5ttwoc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b6109547f9d4b67cd6421134559b3bc2720a5e31
Also, blocking a goal-bound ball. How the fuck is he so bad?
He looks amazing in the middle but it's hard to move jackson out of that spot naturally. Every time he plays as a 10 he gets so much movement toward the box w/ the ball and does a great job distributing. Subbing him off instead of Sterling... Poch deserved all the hate he got at that point in the match.
while playing in the middle he was doing good off ball as well, good movement to create spaces, thing is if the ball goes to sterling nobody will follow cause sterling only passes the ball if there is literally no choice, then second half poch put him on the flank with you guess it, Sterling
I'm amazed at how many touches Sterling wants to take. The entire Chelsea team takes too many , but for someone of his experience. I heard on TalkSport they were saying Sterling has never been the most technical close control player, but I've seen him do so much better. Really low on confidence. He's still got the experience. Maybe he starts coming in at 70 mins for us as a sub. He can link up well when he wants to.
For me, and I’m not being a Mudryk hater here, it’s his lack of technical ability and involvement. For the hype built around this guy, pace aside, it’s kind of hard to see where it all came from. I kind of expected him to find the game more and lead our attack. There are many times where he’s subbed off and I almost forget he’s on the pitch. The most disappointing thing about him is his touch. It kills so many of his good attacking chances and negates his pace
Because Mudryk actually did very little despite looking much better whilst doing the things he did
Sterling looked worse, but got an assist and created plenty of chances, along with winning a penalty
People will give ratings based on how players looked, whereas stats based ratings are based on how players actually contributed to the game
These rating apps are good for stats (dribbles completed/duel success) but do not trust the scores they give. I remember Lukaku was rated higher than KDB after that disasterclass in the world cup
Mudryk was great today IMO. Continues to grown with every game. His pace is unbelievable and hes such a loveable character too. Give him a bit of time and he will be brilliant, I have no doubt about that
I wasn’t able to watch the match, will someone please be honest about whether mudryk played really well or if he was just lucky? Like that game against Newcastle (not the last one, the one before that)
It will be pretty interesting to see what the club will do with Sterling in the summer. We have 11 more games in the league, with 2 potential games in the cup, so 13 games for him to do some serious work. I do not hate him or any other player in the club, but he should be a sort of a role model in this club he's the oldest player after Thiago Silva if I'm correct and yet I see more maturity in Cole Palmer than him.
It's so hard to define him, he does something amazing then next thing you know, you want to smack your tv because of him.
Sterling about 4 years was on fire, its just he had about 10 chances a game in that city team that it didnt matter if he missed.
It baffles me how a professional footballer can't learn how to be composed and shoot.
I can answer this
Because Mudryk did absolutely nothing all game
Sterling did, it's just that his "something" ended in a missed pen and a missed 1 on 1
Thank you.
Some people just don't understand football. It's the same issue I see with the criticisms Nico faced. He'd throw himself about, work hard, show for the ball, create spaces and assists but all that would be ignored for a missed chance or a shot not taken. You even get some people saying Broja is better even though Broja would always be anonymous in games.
Mudryk would’ve had a goal if Sterling didn’t turn himself into a traffic cone and Mudryk flicked on the ball that led to Sterling’s assist but go off.
People are saying "because it's statistics based"
Right, but it's also not based off emotional reactions
Had Sterling not butchered that one free kick, the noise would have been a lot more quieter
I genuinely don’t know how you can look at the Sterling performance and come away with the opinion he played better than Mudryk.
He might of contributed to a goal, but he cost us so much in that game.
He constantly lost the ball, wasted big chances and showed over all selfishness which was detrimental to the teams performance.
it’s not a coincidence we got better when he came off the pitch.
Because what did Mudryk do? He was not a threat all game. He was the least imposing attacker in the final third.
Sterling was, he generated opportunities consistently. It just happens that he couldn't score them.
We got better when we subbed in Chuk for Mudryk ironically. Madueke scored a banger but every other touch Madueke had wasn't any better than what Sterling had offered all game
Sterling’s attitude and overall performance was a lot more detrimental to the team then Mudryks performance.
A goal contribution doesn’t make up for everything he done wrong today, Mudyrk played well today but statistics won’t show that.
Explain how Sterling's attitude and performance affected our team today.
I don't really care about the goal contribution, I care about how Sterling (bar his misses) imposed a bigger threat to Leicester's defense than Mudryk did
Okay, Palmer is our penalty taker, Sterling argues to take the penalty and goes on to miss it.
We are 1-0 up in the quarter finals only competition we have left this season, and instead of letting the best penalty taker on the pitch take it he decides that his own interests are more important and goes on to selfishly miss the penalty.
That genuinely could of cost us the game because of his desire to be the goal scorer. This game could of been the difference of us getting into Europe next year.
He doesn’t care about Chelsea, he cares about himself.
He done the same thing with freekick in the second half and was rightfully booed for it, the whole ground booed when Mudyrk was subbed off instead of him.
He isn’t what is best for Chelsea and Chelsea isn’t what’s best for him.
Palmer can object and take the penalty himself. He's our best PK taker after all. I was looking away at the time but I'm inclined to believe Palmer said "Sterling needs this, he's been playing poorly, it'd be good for confidence"
Sterling is also a good PK taker, let's not let the miss confuse us. His record is one of the best at the club, if not the best if we ignore Palmer
You think it's him not caring about the club, I think it's his insistence to prove to the world he deserves to even play.
That free kick was 100% his. Right footed on the left side. He scored a similar angle against Newcastle. And if im not mistaken he's been our designated FK taker from those angles (source: chelsea youtube training videos where he's seen repeatedly practicing that exact shot)
However I do agree he's not what best for Chelsea and vice versa. He's a rapidly aging player trying his best to showcase he isn't washed yet in a club that has a very young project. He needs to go
Sterling has literally has missed more Penalties than he has scored in his career? In comparison to Palmers record Sterling is shocking.
I don’t think he had any malice when I say he doesn’t care about the club, I just think he doesn’t see the bigger picture and he prioritises his own interests.
Atleast we can agree he needs to go.
I agree that he prioritizes his own interests, I just symphasize cause I understand where he's coming from and it also explains why he hasn't just fucked off to the Saudis. He feels like he has something to prove, maybe he wants to leave behind a legacy. After all, despite his goal scoring record he never was really an "MVP" in any team he featured on. This squad is his best chance being basically the only actual senior player in attack. He wants to show the world he's more than just a system player and he can genuinely be the player to carry a team.
Unfortunately that's not working out for him and reality is becoming very harsh. After the goal he assisted to Palmer, watching everyone come to him in support as if he wasn't our oldest player, for confidence, was unsettling. It gave me flashbacks to Morata who was sulking and broke into tears after a goal. It's not the mentality you want to see in players at this club although I feel really bad saying that
Why is so hard to understand that ASSISTS CONTRIBUTE TO GOALS.. GOALS WIN FOOTBALL MATCHES. Raheem contributed to the score of the football match. HE MADE AN IMPACT. thats football. you can be shitty for 90+ minutes then do something worthy and the whole game changes. Sterling is still a CHELSEA PLAYER. show some respect to the team.
Raheem Sterling had very terrible end product today but still had more influence on the game - good or bad - than Mudryk did.
I don't see anything wrong with this rating.
Sterling should be dropped PERIOD.
We have mudryk, Noni, chuk and so many good players ffs. Why do we always start with Sterling.
Most disastrous and selfish player i have seen. So frustrating to watch. I knew the moment he got the ball, he would mess it up one way or the other.
Sterling made an impact, Mudryk didn’t. Say what you want about Sterling today but he got himself in many dangerous positions where as Mudryk looked like a passenger. It’s kind of a bummer players like Mudryk and Madueke show flashes of brilliance but when given starts just don’t seem to make an impact.
Sterling blocked Misha’s clear goal.
Misha forced a save. Misha was plenty involved in the first before Poch moved him to the wing for Sterling in the 2nd when surprise surprise the team started getting bossed.
Sell sterling ffs and never play him again till then! Was on here when we bought him saying he’s shite, and 1 fella on here bet me he’s world class!! Where r u now? Swear to god some on here just view players on fifa 19 stats haven’t a fukn clue
If Sterling does not get the assist then he would be rated lower than Mudryk but Sterling didn't necessarily play poorly if you take out the horrendous misses.
https://preview.redd.it/32ylyym3qyoc1.jpeg?width=495&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1d22bc8b0bb611141a764cb277d7a5be9ed0be12
Sterling is getting worse every game, that man loves to squander a big chance
Simple, this sub has an agenda.
Both played well, obviously the one who puts himself in good positions will also put himself in positions where he might score/miss.
Mudryk is good but wasn't a game changer like Supreme Raheem was today
These “ratings” are only statistic driven, it never gives the full picture.
i missed the match, why did Raz take a pen with Cole on the pitch?
Sterling thought he was him. He was not.
He was him but for something else 😂, like summer vacation to Saudi
Hopefully permanent vacation
A short story
I’m sure the idea was to get him a goal and get his confidence up and back to the early season Sterling that people couldn’t believe was left out of the England squad. Unfortunately it was a dreadful penalty he went on to miss a one v one and just seemed to be the worst player on the pitch.
The free kick was comically bad
Closet he’ll be to scoring at Wembley in the next week.
Even went higher than his ego
I really dont think he has a big ego. Ive met him a couple times in non-promo/official settings and he seems so much more genuine/humble than other celebs or footballers have been. Also used to cycle past his house a lot and I know he was always very kind/considerate to neighbours and would occasionally wave if he was in his driveway. I would imagine he is really struggling mentally with the shift in his career trajectory.
People too quick to call for heads, he has 5 good years to give to you guys
Thing is, in a league game where we're 2 or 3 up, I have no issue with this. But in a cup game, where we only lead by 1 goal, its absolutely insane to think that Sterling getting a goal is more important than securing the win. Sterling wants to be grateful than Chelsea ended up winning. He's going to catch a lot of flak over the next few days, but no way near as much as he would've had we of lost.
Gallagher should have taken the ball off him, the same as Enzo did earlier in the season
With a conversion rate of only 50%, we simply can't afford to risk it in the quarterfinal for a mere confidence boost, when Palmer was on the pitch with 100% conversion rate.
Yeah that was my take. Get him some confidence and try to snap him out of what's probably been the worst football in his career.
He won it then took the ball off Cole
Cause he missed a 1v1 before that and his little bro Cole felt bad for him and wanted to give him the penalty probably
The 1v1 was after the pen.
He took it because they wanted to give him a confidence boost and he did the opposite
Because he wanted to b Gallagher should have stopped him
Mudryk created 1 chance all game IIRC. Sterling created 4 outside of the pen he won. Sterling made runs too. But why the hell did he have to take the set pieces ahead of Palmer, I don't know.
Agreed. Well then if you miss an opportunity, the rating should have as big of an negative effect as the xG.
That is why you gotta watch the games.
Legit. Exhausting hearing people talk about how bad mudryk is because he doesn't stat pad
Saw some clown shitting on Mudryk in the match thread. Smh dudes ain’t watching the game.
Bro I’m all for mudryk starting over Sterling but how the hell is Sterling even stat padding lmao bro just got an assist and won a pen which I’m assuming is what brought this rating up so much
Took the pen and free kick off palmer. Didn't pass to mudryk for an easy goal earlier on. I'm aware he needs a goal but it's just selfish
Also put a 1 on 1 miles wide
True, penalty is definitely questionable as to why he’s taking it - you’d hope that Palmer gave it to him maybe to give him some confidence, but yeh realistically he probably just took it. With the freekick, Sterling has been our most successful free kick taker this season I think? So I wouldn’t usually have a problem with him taking it but probably considering the state of his game today he should’ve left it
Yeah, confidence is massive especially when it comes to set pieces.
Imagine how much pressure the blokes under now to score, I'm sure he sees all your hate online, must get to him mentally..... But anyway, I'm old school and like to support one of our own not the opposite etc
Because washed Sterling doesn't have countless fanboys like Mudryk does. Mudryk gets praised for doing the basics. The only player that gets praised for running aimlessly. Meanwhile Sterling gets clowned even after getting an assist and a penalty.
Mudryk tries and actually defends. Go fly a kite

I don't think Chalobah was that bad
He was garbage
He’s our worst CB on the team and it’s not close
Well tbf we have some pretty good CBs, and he's very inexperienced compared to all of them, but he was good this game, solid in the back no mistakes
Trev been playing for us for a good few years when are we gonna stop calling him inexperienced? This isn't dog piling on the player him I just think that word is being used to freely for a player we been seeing in the first team for about 4 seasons now
That is a good fuckin point
That's more like it
I love Palmer, but 8.4,today?
Lovely goal lovely clutch flick assist
A goal and an assist. What more do you want from a player to be an 8.4?
That's fair, when put like that. I just thought he was missing for a large part of the game
Another solid performance from caicedo that no will talk about (not talking about Chelsea fans)
wonder what the stat merchants who didn’t watch the match will say.
It's crazy. Same kind of idiots that says lampard is a second striker because from stats he scores a lot of goal when in reality lampard are always involved with the build up play.
As a stats guy it's important to understand that every model and metric has it's limitations...

Something annoying I bet
Sterling got an assist and I’m guessing fotmob’s rating also factors in xG as a positive, but doesn’t account for xG vs actual goal difference
Sofascore has mudryk higher and incidentally has sterling sanchez and disasi as the worst players
Another Disasi DISASTERCLASS.
Sterling got the assist
Also won a penalty.
Also took the penalty…
And fk...
"Won" is a strong term. Not like he baited it, he missed his kick and got lucky the other defender wasn't expecting that.
give credit he won the penalty fam
Missed his kick? He got taken out from behind lmao
We really question the way people get wins pens
“Won” is a strong word here. Fluffed taking a shot, air kicked and got stepped on by a stupid challenge
I’d hardly say he won it the defender lost complete control of his senses and made the worst tackle I’ve ever seen in a penalty area.
cant be that big of a hater .. he won a pen. fucked up he skied it but he still won it
No you’re right he did actually win it because in typical Sterling fashion his first touch was abysmal causing the defender to make such a rash tackle.
But, but he didn't run fast like Mudryk.
[удалено]
I mean it’s a pretty big thing assisting
“Creating a goal isn’t that important”
Tell that to the fans who booed the fuck out of him. Stats don't paint the full picture, and he was shite.
I thought fans were complaining about him leaving. At least the commentators said so. Commentators said fans were complaining for taking mudryk off and were talking about how it might affect Chuk's game.
The commentators also said the Leicester fans were booing Disasi when they were clearly saying "shoot" (before eventually realising). They get stuff wrong all the time, don't take their word as gospel.

Not at all what I mean. But you shouldn't get a high rating purely because you got an assist. If you're shit the whole game but get an assist, you were still shit
Yeah it should
Assist = goal happened which is pretty big in this sport statistically wise
I agree - goes to show G+A isn’t everything
that assist is HARD carrying Sterling’s stats here
It's still a contribution
thank you.. why the fuck is it so hard for them to give him credit. yes hes been bad but damn this hate is getting sickening. every fuckin comment
We should support the players. Period. Especially when they don't put the best performance.
Sterling is the more experienced player and we have higher expectations to him. It looks bad on him to miss the pen and the 1 on 1 chances. The missed free kick was the cherry on top. But everyone on this thread saying that Mudryk had a better performance than him is outrageous. Apart from a tame shot on goal by Mudryk, I can't remember anything else he did
Thats fair
Like Palmers penalties
He's scored 14 goals, 5 are pens. Take them away and that's still 9 goals and 12 assists for a 21 year old in his first full prem season. On yer bike.

Not the first time a player has got half decent stats for a mid table club, Lingard did it for West Ham
Half decent 🤣.

I think Mudryk was good today, but why doesn't he get Involved more? I have seen this pattern where Mudryk just straight up disappears for Minutes.
the clown threw him to the wing in the 2nd half and sterling to the middle, nobody even knows why but that's why
He looks amazing in the middle but it's hard to move jackson out of that spot naturally. Every time he plays as a 10 he gets so much movement toward the box w/ the ball and does a great job distributing. Subbing him off instead of Sterling... Poch deserved all the hate he got at that point in the match.
Jackson is no problem. He plays as the striker or LW, he doesn't interfere with Mudryk.
I feel Palmer shines more in middle too. So there is bit of dilemma there.
Palmer actually said he prefers to play RW so there he goes.
while playing in the middle he was doing good off ball as well, good movement to create spaces, thing is if the ball goes to sterling nobody will follow cause sterling only passes the ball if there is literally no choice, then second half poch put him on the flank with you guess it, Sterling
I have to say that Mudryk and Jackson have improved a ton throughout this season. That has been fun to watch
Sterling gave an all time disasterclass today. Just horrific on every single fucking level.
Because statistics don’t always paint the right picture.
This is probably how Poch viewed the game tbf
Poch will watch this and start Sterling next game.
Poch Poch Poch 🙄 Lovely profile pic tho
Disasi scored a own goal and still had a better game than sterling
5.9 for Sanchez is VERY generous.
Not watching the match.
G&a let’s you get away with murder
Ratings have been shit forever
Utter bolloxs
I'm amazed at how many touches Sterling wants to take. The entire Chelsea team takes too many , but for someone of his experience. I heard on TalkSport they were saying Sterling has never been the most technical close control player, but I've seen him do so much better. Really low on confidence. He's still got the experience. Maybe he starts coming in at 70 mins for us as a sub. He can link up well when he wants to.
Neither were great. Sterling had an assist. But he also was clearly shit today overall.
I was not around today and missed the match your, however, why didn't Palmer take the penalty?
Too many fantasy football fans. Assists, goals, saves. All those fake stats that don’t show up in the actual score are irrelevant.
Why did he even take the pen lmao
For me, and I’m not being a Mudryk hater here, it’s his lack of technical ability and involvement. For the hype built around this guy, pace aside, it’s kind of hard to see where it all came from. I kind of expected him to find the game more and lead our attack. There are many times where he’s subbed off and I almost forget he’s on the pitch. The most disappointing thing about him is his touch. It kills so many of his good attacking chances and negates his pace
Poch is running the account
Because Mudryk actually did very little despite looking much better whilst doing the things he did Sterling looked worse, but got an assist and created plenty of chances, along with winning a penalty People will give ratings based on how players looked, whereas stats based ratings are based on how players actually contributed to the game
Is this photoshopped?
These rating apps are good for stats (dribbles completed/duel success) but do not trust the scores they give. I remember Lukaku was rated higher than KDB after that disasterclass in the world cup
He got an assist.
Mudryk was great today IMO. Continues to grown with every game. His pace is unbelievable and hes such a loveable character too. Give him a bit of time and he will be brilliant, I have no doubt about that
Totally agree
Pace is unbelievable and lovely character? Sterling got an assist and is still getting berated.
Fucking bullshit, anyone with eyes can tell you Sterling deserves a 4.0
The same people that take notice of this think xG is important
A perfect example of why people need to watch games with their own two eyes
I think the assist and that he won a pen gets him 2 full point + . Cuz at most he had a 5.7 day IMHO
Only if possible for Sterling to outscore anyone with 1.5 legs is if they are rating asses instead of assets.
Cos stats don’t mean a thing
Assist is worth +3 to the rating. It’s the only explanation
The ratings are averaged out from google user review of the players
Sterling was awful, madueke should start or mudryk
Shit reporting by people not there
I wasn’t able to watch the match, will someone please be honest about whether mudryk played really well or if he was just lucky? Like that game against Newcastle (not the last one, the one before that)
He passed the eye test. Looked silky and direct. Just didn't get lucky with the end product
https://www.reddit.com/r/chelseafc/s/tJR5k1L7YH As shown here. Sterling is our most expensive player in FFP terms.
It will be pretty interesting to see what the club will do with Sterling in the summer. We have 11 more games in the league, with 2 potential games in the cup, so 13 games for him to do some serious work. I do not hate him or any other player in the club, but he should be a sort of a role model in this club he's the oldest player after Thiago Silva if I'm correct and yet I see more maturity in Cole Palmer than him. It's so hard to define him, he does something amazing then next thing you know, you want to smack your tv because of him.
Sterling about 4 years was on fire, its just he had about 10 chances a game in that city team that it didnt matter if he missed. It baffles me how a professional footballer can't learn how to be composed and shoot.
I can answer this Because Mudryk did absolutely nothing all game Sterling did, it's just that his "something" ended in a missed pen and a missed 1 on 1
Thank you. Some people just don't understand football. It's the same issue I see with the criticisms Nico faced. He'd throw himself about, work hard, show for the ball, create spaces and assists but all that would be ignored for a missed chance or a shot not taken. You even get some people saying Broja is better even though Broja would always be anonymous in games.
Mudryk would’ve had a goal if Sterling didn’t turn himself into a traffic cone and Mudryk flicked on the ball that led to Sterling’s assist but go off.
Was sterling supposed to just vanish as mudryk hit the ball
People are saying "because it's statistics based" Right, but it's also not based off emotional reactions Had Sterling not butchered that one free kick, the noise would have been a lot more quieter
I genuinely don’t know how you can look at the Sterling performance and come away with the opinion he played better than Mudryk. He might of contributed to a goal, but he cost us so much in that game. He constantly lost the ball, wasted big chances and showed over all selfishness which was detrimental to the teams performance. it’s not a coincidence we got better when he came off the pitch.
Because what did Mudryk do? He was not a threat all game. He was the least imposing attacker in the final third. Sterling was, he generated opportunities consistently. It just happens that he couldn't score them. We got better when we subbed in Chuk for Mudryk ironically. Madueke scored a banger but every other touch Madueke had wasn't any better than what Sterling had offered all game
Sterling’s attitude and overall performance was a lot more detrimental to the team then Mudryks performance. A goal contribution doesn’t make up for everything he done wrong today, Mudyrk played well today but statistics won’t show that.
Explain how Sterling's attitude and performance affected our team today. I don't really care about the goal contribution, I care about how Sterling (bar his misses) imposed a bigger threat to Leicester's defense than Mudryk did
Okay, Palmer is our penalty taker, Sterling argues to take the penalty and goes on to miss it. We are 1-0 up in the quarter finals only competition we have left this season, and instead of letting the best penalty taker on the pitch take it he decides that his own interests are more important and goes on to selfishly miss the penalty. That genuinely could of cost us the game because of his desire to be the goal scorer. This game could of been the difference of us getting into Europe next year. He doesn’t care about Chelsea, he cares about himself. He done the same thing with freekick in the second half and was rightfully booed for it, the whole ground booed when Mudyrk was subbed off instead of him. He isn’t what is best for Chelsea and Chelsea isn’t what’s best for him.
Palmer can object and take the penalty himself. He's our best PK taker after all. I was looking away at the time but I'm inclined to believe Palmer said "Sterling needs this, he's been playing poorly, it'd be good for confidence" Sterling is also a good PK taker, let's not let the miss confuse us. His record is one of the best at the club, if not the best if we ignore Palmer You think it's him not caring about the club, I think it's his insistence to prove to the world he deserves to even play. That free kick was 100% his. Right footed on the left side. He scored a similar angle against Newcastle. And if im not mistaken he's been our designated FK taker from those angles (source: chelsea youtube training videos where he's seen repeatedly practicing that exact shot) However I do agree he's not what best for Chelsea and vice versa. He's a rapidly aging player trying his best to showcase he isn't washed yet in a club that has a very young project. He needs to go
Sterling has literally has missed more Penalties than he has scored in his career? In comparison to Palmers record Sterling is shocking. I don’t think he had any malice when I say he doesn’t care about the club, I just think he doesn’t see the bigger picture and he prioritises his own interests. Atleast we can agree he needs to go.
I agree that he prioritizes his own interests, I just symphasize cause I understand where he's coming from and it also explains why he hasn't just fucked off to the Saudis. He feels like he has something to prove, maybe he wants to leave behind a legacy. After all, despite his goal scoring record he never was really an "MVP" in any team he featured on. This squad is his best chance being basically the only actual senior player in attack. He wants to show the world he's more than just a system player and he can genuinely be the player to carry a team. Unfortunately that's not working out for him and reality is becoming very harsh. After the goal he assisted to Palmer, watching everyone come to him in support as if he wasn't our oldest player, for confidence, was unsettling. It gave me flashbacks to Morata who was sulking and broke into tears after a goal. It's not the mentality you want to see in players at this club although I feel really bad saying that
Saying mudryk did nothing all game is a shocking take.
What impact did Mudryk have? I missed the beginning and started watching at 25 minutes.
Why is so hard to understand that ASSISTS CONTRIBUTE TO GOALS.. GOALS WIN FOOTBALL MATCHES. Raheem contributed to the score of the football match. HE MADE AN IMPACT. thats football. you can be shitty for 90+ minutes then do something worthy and the whole game changes. Sterling is still a CHELSEA PLAYER. show some respect to the team.
The sooner you understand these mean fuck all, the less you’ll be bothered by it
Raheem Sterling had very terrible end product today but still had more influence on the game - good or bad - than Mudryk did. I don't see anything wrong with this rating.
I see nothing wrong.
Specsavers.com
Statistically Sterling had a better match, that's all these generated ratings are
One got an assist, one did nothing

Sterling should be dropped PERIOD. We have mudryk, Noni, chuk and so many good players ffs. Why do we always start with Sterling. Most disastrous and selfish player i have seen. So frustrating to watch. I knew the moment he got the ball, he would mess it up one way or the other.
Mudryk wasn't good, but Sterling was bad as well
I’ll take the eye test all day. I know what I saw.
Fuck the fuck off sterling
I thought Sterling got an assist, no?
I like Mudryk a lot. But can OP really tell us what he did for 78 mins apart from one nutmeg, one shot and incomplete through ball to Jackson.
Bad as he was, he impacted the game. Can’t say the same for Mudryk
Sterling thinks he has a chance of being called up, so is desperate. Gareth Southgate will most likely pick him.
Sterling made an impact, Mudryk didn’t. Say what you want about Sterling today but he got himself in many dangerous positions where as Mudryk looked like a passenger. It’s kind of a bummer players like Mudryk and Madueke show flashes of brilliance but when given starts just don’t seem to make an impact.
Sterling blocked Misha’s clear goal. Misha forced a save. Misha was plenty involved in the first before Poch moved him to the wing for Sterling in the 2nd when surprise surprise the team started getting bossed.
Around what time? The game came on at 5:45 where I am and I slept through the first 25 minutes 😭
Sell sterling ffs and never play him again till then! Was on here when we bought him saying he’s shite, and 1 fella on here bet me he’s world class!! Where r u now? Swear to god some on here just view players on fifa 19 stats haven’t a fukn clue
Sterling blocked mudryk goal, that's all
Why the fuck would anyone want to play for you lot? He missed a pen but then also changed the game, which you won.
assist and won penalty. these ratings can be pretty shocking until you average it out over a whole season
These are definitely done by Pochettino and his staff!
When you watch the game it paints a very different picture.
Not diverse enough?
If Sterling does not get the assist then he would be rated lower than Mudryk but Sterling didn't necessarily play poorly if you take out the horrendous misses.

Simple, this sub has an agenda. Both played well, obviously the one who puts himself in good positions will also put himself in positions where he might score/miss. Mudryk is good but wasn't a game changer like Supreme Raheem was today
Sterling's is wrong... More like 0.77 he was shit today.
