Michael Owen on Arsenal’s Raheem Sterling: ‘I agree, it is sad to see Sterling put in a really poor performance but the one thing I would say is it might be because he’s a little bit rusty. Now he’s going to get the opportunity, probably off the bench again now because Merino’s going to take his place for the next game, it’s going to be an impact.
‘He’s got to grab these chances because at his age there isn’t many opportunities left, there’s going to be people coming in, coming back from injury, signings, this is his opportunity now with so many injured players to grasp it, you’ve only probably got six to ten games to do that.’
