EPL: Raheem Sterling aims dig at ex-Chelsea manager after scoring two goals

<p>Chelsea winger, Raheem Sterling has aimed a thinly-veiled dig at the club’s former manager, Graham Potter after scoring two goals in his side’s Premier League 3-0 win over Luton Town on Friday.</p>, <p>Sterling said he was a bit frustrated last season as he played a bit deep in the Chelsea squad when Potter was in charge of the west London club.</p>, <p>This can perhaps be attributed to Potter who often played Sterling out of position and in deeper roles during his disastrous few months in charge of the Blues.</p>, <p>But under new manager Mauricio Pochettino, Sterling looks reborn and he was keen to stress the impact the former Paris Saint-Germain head coach has had in that, as well as the importance of playing in the right way.</p>, <p>“I was happy, obviously I think we started half decent against Liverpool and then with the loss last week against West Ham we needed to get a win here, I am just happy to contribute with that,” Sterling told Sky Sports post-match.</p>, <p>‘It was a bit of frustration from last season from myself personally because I felt like I was always coming with my back to goal. A bit deep and I was not giving myself enough chances to get into the box.</p>, <p>“I had a conversation with the gaffer Pochettino earlier last week and we’ve gone through the role and I know exactly what he needs from me and it is as simple as that, I need to get on the back foot and do what I do and drive at players and get on it and that is when I am most effective.”</p>
