Think we need to reign in the praise a little. Only a little though.
He's been ok. Some real flashes of quality, especially the weight of the pass back to Adam for the goal and his turn of pace to skip past a player for Suso's blocked chance.
But from the two games so far, I'd say Sterling is a much more rounded player. Pacheco looked real shakey defensively, nervous positioning and pretty weak in the tackle - he really didn't offer Enrique or Adorjan any help.
No doubt he's got the quality going forward, but he needs to work on his game....dare I say I sound a bit like Hodgson? No, definitely not meaning it that much, just that if he's going to get into the first XI on the right/left side of midfield, he needs to show he can be solid defensively too.
