Pundits Stephen Warnock and Sue Smith discussed Chelsea’s FA Cup win over Leicester as well as forward Raheem Sterling.
Mauricio Pochettino has defended Raheem Sterling after he came under-fire for his performance against Leicester, while also addressing boos towards himself during the game.
Sterling had a string of moments to forget during a 4-2 win in the FA Cup quarter-final. He missed a penalty in the first half, while also sending a free-kick high into the stands later in the game.
He missed another clear chance earlier in the game, although Sterling did assist Cole Palmer’s goal to double Chelsea’s lead.

Sterling is Chelsea’s highest paid player, the most experienced and oldest player in the starting 11. Yet he took the penalty off a player who has a 100% record. He has obvious talent and quality, it’s clear he is not putting in the effort and not a acting as a role model for the younger players. But when a player is playing that poorly, the fault is on the manager keeping him on the pitch that long.
to take a pen off cold when youve missed 4 in your last 6 is unforgivable. Then to miss the target in an clear 1 on 1, and then have the audacity to take the free kick was crazy (the worst free kick of all time). P9chettino should have saved his blushes by taking himm off at half time. Deserved every boo .
Sterling has a complex. Sterling plays Hero Ball and as a Chelsea fan, given the project, given the current climate, it’s a problem. It’s a problem that he is one of the senior players that the other players are learning from.
Sues' hair is impeccable. Im hard .
We support him week in week out. But at some point the fans will get annoyed. Hes a very selfish players and tbh not good enough for starting 11 of Chelsea. He can be 1 on 1 with the keeper but have a player to his right nice easy tap in. Instead he will go for goal himself and 75percent of the time he misses. Doesn’t release the ball quick enough holds onto it for to long
Why not giving a ball to Palmer, Sterling was greedy and he need to learn from his mistake., imagine if it was 118 + minute's and it is a last chance to win the match and you miss it at the end you get to penalties and loose😢
It’s absolutely ridiculous that players can’t accept criticism from own fans.
No resilience whatsoever they should puff their chest out and go I’ll show u lot wrong I’ll prove u wrong and if they aren’t strong mentally unfortunately football isn’t for them football is tough.
Fans pay a lot of money and should be allowed to voice their opinion.
If you are paid 400,000£ a week, you have no choice than to perform week in week out. You are not paid soo much to go on a holiday on a football pitch. To whom much is given, much is expected!
The fact is when Sterling is done not Liverpool, Man City or Chelsea will claim Sterling as their legend.
If you don’t support Chelsea please shut up he’s destroying the team work
He cooked Walker. He still has it but that ego man…
He should go to America then ffs
Players need to earn support! It’s not just given!! People used to boo Drogba for his first 18 months he couldn’t hit a barn door
Why can't pundirs just be honest, for a change ? Sterling isn't very good. If he had league average speed he'd be championship quality at best.
He’s trying too hard to get the headlines and get in the England squad.
Then fans have been very patient with Sterling…yesterday was enough…Sterling is chasing personal glory at the expense of the team…We have seen him fail to pass infront of goal then fail to score…Taking the ball from COLD PALMER forcefully then miss the penalty and freekick in a row is unsupportable….His ego and greedy behavior has gone beyond the team work
That is nothing compared to what Maguire has gone through, and you guys didn't talk about it until his mother made a post on social media.
Can you please tell us what Sterling has done for us Chelsea fan to deserve our support, He has won everything for other team and has been poor for 2 season and he our highest paid player, he deserves more boos to be sincere, Its not about just losing a pen or free kick, he been making criminal decisions all season
Sterling shouldn't have gone to Chelsea. Worst fans in the league
i would BOO him every time!!! greedy selfish player!! get him out!!!
Stering is too selfish! its great they booed him considering he gets paid loads of money to play trash selfish football week in week out.
Absolute rubbish. IT wasn't just in that one game. Fans are pissed at him for being selfish. Thats it. he keeps trying to stat pad when we are not playing amazing and need the goals. So when he did it yesterday, everyone had enough.
He doesn't square the ball a lot of times. He is meant to be a leader and he is glory-hunting
Oh no fans booed and English player and English media is going nuts since yesterday. Fans booed this season: Mudryk, Poch (yesterday), Jackson yet we didn't hear any complains. In fact you guys do and say many worse things about non-English players week-in week out. Just shut up. You should see how fans treat players in Germany, Italy and Spain to get to learn what is demanded from them. This is one of the reasons why England never wins any trophy and others do.
He is a selfish player who always plays for his self glory rather than the team. He had no other reason to take on the penalty from Palmer other than self glory, same as the free kick. If he was my team-mate I would have been at him in the half time telling him to either play for the team and club or get out. 10 other players suffer every match to create those chances yet for him it is always about him.
He put in a shift weekend okay he’s not my favourite player and he does miss a few but he runs rashford can learn a lot from sterling pep also used sterling often that says a lot you can’t boo your own players who won’t stop running
The current Chelsea team is the worst team stinks .
Chelsea should join Southafrica league .
Picture chelsea without sterling? Things would be worse.
sterling only plays for himself and himself alone…. Despite picking up the highest wages at the club, he has been one of the worst players at the club.
Even you're paying your money when you support a team you need to help the team and support your player when things going wrong not everything go right direction,I love my team Chelsea and we will Support Raheem and we know that Chelsea will get over this
Sorry, but since when did not scoring a free kick mean you have had a bad game, free kicks are not expected to be scored and great players miss them, and so what if he had a chance to score, but could not get by the keeper this time, especially when he scores more than any other English winger in Premier League history. And as for the penalty, he won it and so if anybody has a right to take it and miss it, he does whether he scores or not, and furthermore, so what if he did not score the penalty especially when he set up the second goal and it was his pass that tore apart the Leicester defense leading to the panic that resulted in their play desperately trying to recover and making a foul that reduced Leicester to 10 men. This is the devastation his actions were causing the Leicester team, then he gets booed and the manager is criticised for keeping him on? We are talking about the Sterling that is a Man City Legend as part of the team that took Man City from nothing today as their second highest scorer in history, only after Aguero, a penalty taking striker. Sterling is an England legend already after almost singlehandedly dragging England to our first final in over half a century and while doing so giving many of us who were not around for the 1966 World Cup the best moments ever with the England team. He is also the best and highest scoring English winger in Premier League history and second highest scoring winger in Premier league history, second only to Salah if you include penalties which he does not take and Salah, but on an even playing field that does not include penalties he is the highest scoring winger in Premier League history. He is no fluke and no flash in the pan, you do not achieve these things if your consistency is not high. He is world class and if he has a few off days that does not make him not world class. But with a media that works so ruthlessly to play down his achievements or credit them to someone else whenever he achieves success, such as when he put on a world class performance against Man City only to see someone else given Man of the Match by the media resulting in a public outcry that he had been robbed it is no surprise the public's view of him are so illogical. When 1) it was claimed by the media that he is only good against poor teams if he puts on a special performance against a poor team as if he did not do the same against Man City or that he only looks like a good player because of Man City players who are so good when it is clear he is producing the same results playing by other players in the England team, and 2) then his misses are criticised and highlighted as big news to the point of hysteria as if all the best players in the world do not miss, and 3) a decision not to pass is made to be critical headline sports news if he shoots instead and does not score as if the best players in the world do not do this, and 4) if he takes a penalty and it is saved by the keeper and it makes critical headline news to the point of hysteria as if the best players in the world do not have their penalties saved who can be surprised, why should their be any surprised the public are so shocked when you tell he is the highest scoring English winger in Premier League history and he still has over 3 seasons to play or that the only reason the highest winger is ahead of him in goals is because he takes penalties, or that he is the England teams highest assist provider and second highest goal scorer, or that he is the best England winger in Premier League history by a mile, only strikers and their penalties are ahead of him in goals which is a phenomenon for wingers. Many strikers the media have praised were not able to achieve what he has achieved by the end of their careers, penalties included, and he still has over 3 seasons to play. Sterling is a phenomenon, he is world class and not only has set the standard, but is still setting the standard for all English wingers that follow him. Of all the English wingers in history, it is Sterling that every English winger must look at and learn and every coach looking for an English winger to study for those he or she will train must study and learn. Yet he is seen as having achieved nothing, inconsistent, clumsy, always a negative to the team and so on buy the public because that is all the media will be happy to write about when concerning him and this has gone on from the age of seventeen resulting in the booing we see coming his way from the fans who read their publications. It's disgusting, it's disgraceful, it's jealousy, it's hateful and it's nothing, but racist and because of the colour of his skin and you will always find a few supporters that would be happy to take that baton of racism to the game. Peace and love
