Indeed, Raheem Sterling has faced severe criticisms from pundits and **Chelsea**fans regarding his performances in the ongoing season. Now he has joined **Arsenal**on loan and has failed to impress the fans. Nevertheless, being one of the big-name signings by Chelsea in the recent past, Sterling is certainly failing to provide the much-awaited goals and assists in a match, and that makes him the biggest failure in Mauricio Pochettino’s managerial tenure. The critics say such inconsistency reveals the plight of Chelsea under Pochettino.
Sterling might shine his bright light in between as part of his football journey, but for the immediately now, it has left most Chelsea fans disappointed. Sterling, at such moments with young players’ urge against being replaced to possibly occupy the first team, has time and much to salvage very soon if he ever thinks of staying ahead again amongst Stamford Bridge’s leading figureheads. As per footballfancast, Arsenal fans are not happy with the English winger.
🔴⚪️ ‘Raheem Sterling has been a massive disappointment. He came in and said he was going to give the club his best work, but that hasn’t happened.

Pressure on Sterling
Chelsea’s Raheem Sterling had been under considerable scrutiny lately. Fans and pundits widely criticize the performances of this season. Chelsea signed Sterling with the promise of bringing a game-changer. But he never managed to emulate what established him as a standout for Manchester City in his years in Premier League. The forward is rich in talent but not proactive, not there at critical moments, and does not finish off in front of the goal.
The bigger issue may be under Enzo Maresca who has yet to get the team to settle with the rebuild still ongoing. As players like Cole Palmer and Noni Madueke continue demanding playing time, this leaves Sterling in a tighter spot. As Chelsea’s attacking skills fade, Pochettino has to decide if he should stick with the England international or look elsewhere for consistency.
