STERLING CAN CASH IN AT LAST

-

RAHEEM STERLING will be desperate to return home with a goal. There are so many things he has done in Russia that have impressed me. Sterling has worked tirelessly off the ball, dropped deep to give England an extra body in midfield to develop play and has been a willing runner into the channels. His confidence in front of goal is the only thing that has been missing. There were couple of chances from which he could have scored or pulled the ball back for Harry Kane. Ultimately, when you play in the front two you need to be scoring. Find the net today and he will repay Gareth Southgate’s faith for sticking with him throughout the tournament. It would be a perfect way to sign off — and mean that he will be brimming with confidence when England next meet up for the Nations League in September.
