‘Raheem Sterling would NOT make my team of the year’ – Dean Saunders makes shock admission

‘Raheem Sterling would NOT make my team of the year’ – Dean Saunders makes shock admission
Dean Saunders reluctantly admits he cant find room for Raheem Sterling in his team of the season.The former Wales striker believes the 24-year-old has been outperformed by Manchester City team-mate Leroy Sane and Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah.2

Sterling has been outstanding in recent weeks

Sterlings recent form has seen him emerge as a strong contender for this seasons personal accolades, and talkSPORT host Jason Cundy has even tipped him for the Ballon dOr.The England international starred in Citys 7-0 demolition of Schalke on Tuesday night, just three days after his hat-trick against Watford in the Premier League.And it is with a heavy heart that Saunders omits him from his personal XI. He wants to learn, he listens to the manager, and he takes advice on board, Saunders said.If there was criticism in the past, it was that when he got in behind defences and he had to make defences, he got it wrong too many times.But now its different. His end product has got miles better.2

Salah has struggled for form in front of goal

For me, Sanes in [my team on the year]. Up front, Ill lose sleep choosing between Kane and Aguero.But on the right, Id have to pick Salah, Im sorry.Salah, Aguero and Sane thats my front three.
