Redknapp: Sterling Has Become England's David Silva 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Tue Sep 9, 2014 2:56 pm

Raheem Sterling started in the No. 10 position for England against Switzerland on Monday and Jamie Redknapp compares him to David Silva.

"He is such a weapon for England and Liverpool. He is now our best player - aged 19 - and defenders are frightened of him.

"Raheem Sterling is England’s David Silva. He doesn't manipulate the ball like the Spaniard, but he can play between the lines and he has something Silva doesn't have: destructive pace.

"The pass he delivered for the [opening] goal was with his left foot and I can't see a weakness in his game. Credit to Brendan Rodgers for developing him and he will get better."

Sterling initially featured as a winger for Liverpool but has since been utilized in a more central creative role for club and country.
