Raheem Sterling was lambasted for his UEFA Euro 2016 England performances, and if one was to remove the rose-tinted spectacles some of the media reports were fairly close to the truth.

If we were to go further back further in time the 21-year-old’s Manchester City career under former Blues boss, Manuel Pellegrini was going down the drain. Go on, admit it, there is an element of truth in the last statement – right?

As I said on another thread, I will be prepared to change my opinion of him on the pitch if he maintains the current improvement , it is clear that he has improved since working with Pep.
 
It has been great to see him regain his confidence and zest for the game. It perhaps does indeed highlight just how much influence coaching and tactics can have - under Pellegrini it seems his abilities were being stifled and he has already demonstrated in just two competitive fixtures what City saw in him. Good news.

One wonders whether the media, so, so critical of him last season and for England, will wake up and give the praise that may be due.
