Raheem Sterling (Liverpool > Man City)

That second goal, cutting in off the left onto his right and going past them like they weren't there was a repeat of John Barnes' goal against Brazil.

John Barnes - England's Greatest Goal?

Haha who's comparing the two? I just think it's silly to use size as a reason to slag someone. Was just being playful.

And it was Gerrard who said Cole had ball skills like Messi. Have a go at him

didn't someone compare Joe Cole to Messi and we saw how well that worked out.

I like Raheem but he is really really small.

Being small is really nothing to knock at all. As a winger he wouldn't be asked to hold the line, and if you watch the video his size actually gives him an advantage because he stays on feet a lot easier when making tight controlled moves with the ball.

Everyone other than Barca missed out on Messi because he had a growth disorder and they thought he was too small. Look what he does now BECAUSE of his size, not in spite of it.

He's only jst turned 16 though so it's naturally he'll be small.

Commentators will be quick to roll out that nugget " He has a low centre of gravity " Anyone that makes Suso look ordinary, which is what the kid did yesterday, could be special if we nurture him. I've no doubt Rodolfo will do just that

can somebody put on the goals Please !!!

can somebody put on the goals Please !!!

Can't see them either.

As hes only 16 I take it hes not on a proper contract? So is there any danger of Arsenal or Chelsea coming to him and trying to get him back to London? We need to tie him down to a 15 year contract 

can somebody put on the goals Please !!!

Here's Sterlings 5 goals mate

Outstanding performance, it wasn't just his pace that impressed me, it was the composure the touch and confidence for someone so young.

 Think he still has a lot of work barring injuries and not letting it go to his head we should see him in the first team on a regular bases in the next 2 seasons.

Yeah agree Corbally, he has excellent balance too!

All very promising 

Can he legally make his debut for Pool without a professional contract?

I'm sure he can as he is registered with the club. Like not every team is professional, semi-pro players often play in Europe for smaller teams.

Could make his debut on Thursday apparently.

Saw a good song for him on Twitter the other day to the tune of Rock The Casbah by the Clash...

Ra-heem can't half strike it,
*clap clap clap clap* *clap clap*
Rockin' the Kop la!
Rockin' the Kop la!

Is in the squad for thursday according to the mirror

Well done Raheem!
He is only able to go because he's on mid-term from school 

Just seen that. Quality Will beat Robinson's record if he starts

Bloody brilliant news that he's in Thursday's squad. Hope he comes on with 25 left and terrorises their defence, which undoubtedly he has the ability to do.

Heard this this morning as well.  Good news and well deserved after his performance on Monday night.

Well done lad, deserved the opportunity. Show em what you can do.

Will break the record for our youngest player ever if he plays.

Fully deserves some game time either this leg or the one at Anfield.

Good luck Raheem!

What are the odds on him to score tomorrow? Might be worth it to put a few quid on.
