There was a time in Raheem Sterling’s career when he didn’t need to overthink.
Cutting in from the left to slide home at the back post following a Riyad Mahrez pass across the six-yard box became a perpetual - and seemingly unstoppable - feature of Manchester City’s thrilling attacking repertoire.
Sterling would often repay the favour to his Algerian colleague. Like clockwork. We’d see Sterling score the same goal or supply the same assist week after week after week.
There was more to his game, of course. Just ask Pep Guardiola.
