Raheem Sterling’s future has been the subject of the week. The 20-year-old is believed to have informed Liverpool of his desire to leave, his agent has come out with some… erm… interesting comments (allegedly) and the club have scrapped talks to discuss his future. So the Reds could have done with a quiet weekend then… well they haven’t got it, with Sterling being dropped to the bench a major talking point in itself.

The England international has rarely been out of the XI this term, so with his exclusion and the use of Philippe Coutinho as ‘false nine’ it seems like a major message has been sent out. Is he off? Are Liverpool trying to deflect the attention? Is his ‘head not right’? Who knows, but fans have taken to Twitter to vent their frustrations, celebrate Brendan Rodgers’ stance and condemn the player!
