Carney Chukwuemeka

Mourinho tax sadly.

Poch actually rates and and trusts youth players to play games. 
Poch trusted them when he had no choice at Spurs, but I'd wager that when he has ready-made, world class alternatives, he'll choose those alternatives. Though I guess we shall see.

TBF, our current squad only really has Enzo/Jackson who have cemented their place in every starting 11 i'd say. Every other position is fair competition between two players on equal standing.

 
Returns to train with the ball.

He's probably our best attacking midfielder until Nkunku is back . We need him.

 
On top of comparing matches played we need to compare distance traveled, as pressing in today's game is far more rigorous than in the 80s. 

Doubt that data is available anyway. 
And then there's the pitches. Often the pitches in the 60s, 70s and 80s were like ploughed fields much of the time.

A bit like the Chicago pitch that N'kunku got injured on in pre-season.

 
Sterling is by far our best attacker. 
I don't disagree, I was one of the few on the forum all summer stating we absolutely shouldn't be considering trying to ship Sterling off to Saudi. He has beenthe best attacker for 60% of our games this season, also been anonymous in a few games, but there's fair competition between him, Madueke, Mudryk, Palmer, Maatsen etc. Jackson has no competition and Enzo is head and shoulders above anyone at the club, hence their position being cemented in the 11.

There is no healthy competition  for Sterling

Madueke, Mudryk, Palmer are at least 3 level below Sterling.

I think you're digressing. Sterling started the season well, then had two average games. Madueke isn't that far from him, was our best player from March-May last season by FAR.

Sadly no. 

Madueke can beat player but his final ball delivery is very poor. Madueke also can't bring others into play.

We played James and Madueke combination a few times last season and It was very difficult for James to get into games. Whereas with Sterling it is easy.If you remember a while ago Cho also had good connection with James. It is the same thing. Connecting other player to the game is a skillset

@RIP Mourinho now I kinda understand why a lot of fans here are unhappy with poch.

If you think that Madueke is close to Sterling level then poch is definitely doing terrible job as a manager.

 
What does that even mean?!!!

If Madueke is close to Sterling level it means we are no longer in player development phase. Top 4 should be the bare minimum. Madueke and palmer are kinda the same level. Jackson is maybe slightly better.It means we have 5 attackers already close to Sterling level.

If that is the case then, Poch has no excuse. You should already start questioning whether we should fire poch.

Madueke has a long way to go before he's a top player. He wasn't even posting great numbers in Holland.

Seems a good personality though with a good attitude so hopefully he does well.

 
I thought this was a thread about Carney, who I rate highly. Good to hear he is close to returning to full training.
