“Build our attack around him please, pure joy to watch” – Fans begs Tuchel to build team around Chelsea star after strong display in Everton game
For the first time in five years, Chelsea defeated Everton at Goodison Park with a 1-0 victory thanks to a superb defensive performance. The Blues won their opening 2022–23 Premier League game on August 6 thanks to a Jorginho penalty.
However, Raheem Sterling, a recent signing was the player who received the most accolades from the Stamford Bridge supporters for his outstanding performance.
For the Blues, the former Manchester City forward was active in the last third. He engaged opponents directly and looked for good passes into the final third.
Out of his six tries, the Englishman had four successful dribbles and two crucial passes.
Chelsea supporters praised Sterling, who joined them from City for £47.5 million this summer, on Twitter. A small number of supporters asked Thomas Tuchel to organize the team around the England international.
Below are some Chelsea fans reactions on Sterling performance against Everton:
@BallTherapyYan: Raheem Sterling is 100% scoring goals for Chelsea.
@malikofori: we are now seeing the real Raheem Sterling, what a baller
@CFCRaf2: Sterling is THAT GUY. If we build our attack around him we’re set.
@gussie_cfc: I don’t have much to say, all I can say is Raheem sterling is a very intelligent footballer.
@CFCDUBois: Sterling is a breath of fresh air in our attack, pure joy to watch so far.
@ConnCFC: I’m so happy Chelsea signed Sterling man, he is incredibly positive and Chelsea have missed a forward like that
@JohyanCruyff: Sterling once again fantastic, breath of fresh air as he can play with his back to goal & speeds up the play by escaping the press, a great set piece taker would be great with him to because he’s gonna win so many
Sterling’s impressive Premier League debut for the Blues did not end in a goal contribution for the England attacker. However, Chelsea fans will have good reason to be impressed by the energy he provides for the team on a consistent basis.
The 27-year-old enjoyed a successful stint at Manchester City, where he won every domestic competition in England. The Blues will be hoping he can replicate those feats.
