“He Looks A Little Lost”

Manchester City legend, Micah Richard suggests that former Manchester City and now Chelsea player, Raheem Sterling is struggling under Graham Potter.

Naija News recall that the Englishman moved from Manchester to London in the summer after falling out of favour under Pep Guardiola.

In a discussion with BBC sports, Richard revealed that the forward is having a difficult spell under his new boss, Graham Potter.

“I still rate Raheem very highly, but he looks a little lost,” he said.

“It’s like he is a bit frustrated in terms of Chelsea’s set-up and, tactically, does not know what they want him to do.

“Raheem joined another top club in Chelsea, and it looked like the perfect move for him. But then they changed their manager, and we have all seen the upheaval that has followed.”

However, the 34-year-old noted that the London boy is not the only one struggling in the team, and suggested where he feels he can play better.

“The whole team are still figuring out how they play under Potter, so Sterling is not the only one who has to work that out.

“Using him in different positions has not helped. Ideally, I want to see him high and wide up the pitch, preferably on the left,” Richard said.
