Curiously, and for reasons that quite frankly evade me, eyebrows have been raised over Raheem Sterling’s continued omission from the England squad.
But why? He’s been pretty bang average for Chelsea. OK, he’s had a few decent games in recent weeks but I haven’t seen a series of hugely impressive performances from him that mean he demands inclusion — oh yes, I forgot the dizzy heights of a couple of goals against odds-on relegation favourites Luton Town! Some may point to his display against Tottenham last week but he was fairly ordinary until Spurs went down to nine men and were all over the place.
