Raheem Sterling - Undroppable for England, down pecking order at City
The HinduIndispensable for his country. Entering as an 87th-minute substitute — as he did in Manchester City's win at Chelsea in the Premier League on Saturday — is something he might have to get used to, especially for the team's biggest games this season. It might be that Sterling is used most regularly now as a central striker, if City opts to have one, but his return of three goals in his last 25 appearances for the team — not including that cameo against Chelsea — suggests he is not scoring goals at the rate Guardiola would be happy with. Sterling's best attributes — pace and exploiting space behind defenses — aren't what City needs against most of its opponents right now. Tuesday's match at Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League will give another indication as to Sterling's current standing at City.
