I thought Messi had gotten over his inexplicable penalty problem. There was probably a point in time where Shola's penalty stats on FIFA etc were better than Messi's.

Perhaps, but I think that might just be down to the finishing standards of some wide forwards these days. Very few players are traditional wingers these days, and it's almost expected that players in that area of the pitch can finish like Neymar or Salah.

 

Sterling does fluff his lines a lot, and his finishing technique isn't so polished - but his all round game has been fantastic this season. 15 goals in 23 games is a great return when you consider everything else to his game.

Oh aye, it's so clear how much he has improved under Pep and the fact so many of his goals are close range, even scuffed, finishes, is testament to his intelligence of being in the right place at the right time. Just seems so awkward though a lot of time when he has a clear opening and really should have scored a lot more.
