Raheem Sterling strikes for Manchester City to fuel Mario Balotelli furore

It took just two minutes into his Manchester City career for Sterling to achieve a scoring strike.

“You always have stupid fans in the stadium”.

“You have to move on”. Manchester City meets Madrid in the final game on Friday.

Silva also picked out Iheanacho in the 33rd minute but the latter’s header was straight at De Sanctis before Roma finished the half stronger – two cut-backs forcing desperate clearances before Daniele De Rossi’s header went just over the bar. He is one of the hottest prospects in world football. I’m very happy for him.

“We didn’t expect any other fans to be there. So if he needs any advice or anything about, he can come to ask me”.

But it was Nigerian 18-year-old Kelechi Iheanacho who provided the assist and then scored to give City a second-half lead.

“He demonstrated why he’s here”. “Not only his value as a player, he’s only a very young player so he will improve a lot in the future playing with Yaya, with David Silva, with Kun Aguero”.

“He scored very early in the game”.

“He’s a very young player with a bright future”.

“If we play 4-3-3 he can bring us what he did tonight – speed, goals”.

But Hart then stepped up to score City’s fifth spot kick and saved Seydou Doumbia’s attempted “Panenka” to force the shootout to sudden death, and James Horsfield netted before Hart parried Seydou Keita’s weak attempt to win the match.

Liverpool great Steven Gerrard, Sterling’s captain at Anfield until the end of last season, was decidedly unimpressed by the behaviour of his former team-mate.

Relations between Sterling and Liverpool appeared strained after a public contract stand-off and his missing of training through illness, but he claims he left on good terms with those at the club. “Keep it up”, the Italian ex-City player wrote.

The England forward, who completed his move from Liverpool on 14 July, flew out to Australia to join his new team-mates on their pre-season tour.

Of course we’re not going to support him, considering the disrespect he’s continually showed the club throughout the entire calendar year.
