Fans all say the same thing after Raheem Sterling's poor performance vs Man Utd

Fans have been criticial of Raheem Sterling, after Chelsea's draw with Manchester United, after the forward continued his hideous record against the Old Trafford side.

Chelsea struggled to get into the game in the opening 35 minutes on Saturday evening, as Graham Potter's tactics hugely backfired.

With Cristiano Ronaldo left at home, much to the chagrin of Roy Keane, United dominated the midfield but couldn't put their chances away.

The Blues eventually got a foothold into the game with 10 minutes left of the half, when Marc Cucurella was taken off for Mateo Kovacic, who ended the game almost completely naked.

Whilst Cucurella may have felt some embarrassment at going off before the half time break, it wasn't the full back's performance that led to him removal, rather Potter's tactics.

The same couldn't be said for Sterling, who was removed with just 11 minutes to go, although some would argue that it was too late.

Sterling continued his record of failing to score against United throughout his entire career, incredible considering his former side, Manchester City, often beat their local rivals during his time there.

It was the forward's replacement Armando Broja who won the penalty, that Graham Potter's side scored from, and after the game some fans were calling for Sterling to be dropped.

"Sterling's got to be dropped for at least two league games man we paid £50 million for a player who can’t complete a dribble and messes up every attacking situation, not good enough right now," one fan took to social media to say.

"He’s worse than Timo Werner, I’m not joking," a second added, in what must be the ultimate insult for both any Chelsea player and Werner.

A third said, "Sterling is embarrassing man. How do you lose every duel, every second ball, can’t complete a dribble or attacking action to save his life."

One pointed out that the England forward had wanted to be number one at City but it wasn't working out for him now, posting, "Raheem Sterling is such a confusing player. He spent his last 24 months at City complaining about how he's not the number one option, and when he is finally the main man here, he is shirking from the responsibility.

"A player with his profile, transfer fee and wages cannot be so passive."

And another fan thinks his previous good goalscoring was only due to his former City teammates, tweeting, "Sterling can't sort his feet out quickly enough to be called a world class poacher. He only got goals because of Kevin De Bruyne's shifts gave him 3 tap ins per game."

It was the 24th time in his career that Sterling has failed to score against United, in 24 appearances against them, and he never looked like breaking the duck.

No one really looked like scoring, until Chelsea were awarded a penalty in the 87th minute, when Scott McTominay brought Broja down.

Jorginho put the spot kick away, but it wasn't to be the winner as Casemiro's dramatic injury time header meant the two sides shared the points.
