Bad luck for city, imo the third camera angle showed that it did hit Sterling's forearm but whatever, still not a pen, awful call.
I have no idea how somebody with as great first touch as Danny Rose can be so bad at crossing. He's had a solid year and he gets in such great positions, but he has less end product than kyle martino's hair and his crosses give Jesus Christ stigmata, actually their crossing styles have a lot in common in that they are both wooden and poorly executed and make their defenders repent for their shins, one big difference is that after a Rose cross nobody has ever said Wow, nailed it.
(ok ok Rose has played fine this year with a few great and terrible stretches and I think all four of spurs' FBs offer really different looks and that Poch picks his spots well. And speaking of Poch--or to Tim Howard "Ponch"--while I'm on BAIDS's side wrt to the great manager debate, imo Poch is doing a great job. Some of his rotations seem strange but he's undeniably made everybody feel involved, and team chemistry can be important when so much of your success is based on brutal behind-the-scenes fitness training that nobody really wants to do and that can threaten esprit de corps: buh bye Andros)
