Southgate seems to have faith in Raheem Sterling, 2 goals in 41 England appearances, perhaps we should in Nichols.

Sterling brings a lot more to England's game though. His pace and movement is quality, but everyone jumps on the hate Sterling bandwagon.
He gives the ball away a lot, because he takes risks, we need someone to do that. Most the other players were afraid to take risks on Tuesday night. Once Ali had the ball and passed it 2 yards to Sterling, who then had to try and take the player on, as he had no other option. Everyone moaned at sterling when he lost it.
He won us 2 free kicks in dangerous positions and got in some dangerous positions and no one said anything in the pub. Who loses the ball and they all shout Sterling again!
I can see why he is picked. His final ball isn't as good for England, but he creates space for others.
No coincidence IMO, that we went sh** after he went off, nobody as was taking risks or creating space. Same again Tunisia, we played better with him on in the first half, but got a goal from a corner at the end.
There is a reason Pep picks him every week and a reason he averaged more than a goal or assist every game in the premier league.

No coincidence that when playing with top quality players at Man City he was one of the best players in the Premier League last season. Edit - As for Nichols being top quality I’ll have 3 of whatever you’re smoking please bluebutterfly.

You've got every man and his donkey on his back at the moment. Can't wait for him to stick two fingers up to everyone at some point.

I thought sterling had one his best games for England against Columbia on pure workrate alone. Personally I would drop Ali for Loftus-Cheek if he isn’t broke already and doesn’t make it.

Unfortunately for Sterling he unwittingly created the mal-intent towards himself by the manner of his departure from Liverpool (a bit like someone else a bit closer to home), and the media aren’t going to let him forget it. As for a comparison, he reminds me more of Leads with his blistering pace but then not necessarily choosing the right option at the end of a probing run, and hardly ever taking on the final defender. I still enjoy watching them both but don’t deny it can be frustrating at times.

Some players play really well for one club, and that earns them a move where they often struggle. I think this is the case for Nichols. Played well at Exeter, then a bit of a flop elsewhere. Personally I think he would be better of at Exeter. If he gets 9 goals this season I would be surprised. He was bought as a replacement for Taylor (joke). The thing I am a bit peeved with is that Telford volunteered to play of the U"23"s to keep his sharpness up, Nichols didn't. I wonder if it was arrogance or couldn't be arsed that he didn't.

Same again Tunisia, we played better with him on in the first half, but got a goal from a corner at the end. There is a reason Pep picks him every week and a reason he averaged more than a goal or assist every game in the premier league. I've said this before when I compared Sterling to Kyle Bennett in Steve K's Wigan match report: "I agree that Bennett loses the ball too often. My theory is that this is similar to what used to happen for England when Raheem Sterling used to try fancy moves and lose possession. I think the players have a mindset that when Bennett has possession they instantly move into attack mode - anticipating that something is going to happen. When he loses the ball we are therefore very quickly on the back foot which emphasises more what has just happened and exposes danger."
However, that didn't stop me shouting at the TV (in frustration) every time Sterling gave the ball away on Tuesday.!!!

I still enjoy watching them both but don’t deny it can be frustrating at times. Is that really the case, or is there other reasons? Stirling is more like Bennett usually a winger but asked to play in the No 10 role for England, where he does a good job but doesn't seem as effective as he does for Man C. Nichols meanwhile needs tog et his act together or face a long season on the bench behind Reilly.

He did play well and seems to link better with Kane than any other partner even though he’s not scoring. When Vardy came on we lost all our attacking shape v Colombia. Gafney for us has never been prolific but he linked so well with Taylor that together they were very successful. Gafney without Taylor has been half the player. It’s all about gelling as a team.

He is suited more against teams that will attack us and we can him them on the counter. He would have been a good outlet when we were sititing back. As it was he was only on the pitch for 5 mins and then they equalised, which then made him (and Dier to an extent) ineffective.

I thought this thread was about Nichols/Stirling not yet another Gaschat World Cup discussion thread?
