The Mailbox is puzzled by the praise for perplexing Sterling

Send your thoughts on Sterling and more to theeditor@football365.com.   Swash your buckle 20 minutes in and I’m embarrassed by Raheem Sterling diving to win a penalty, for all of Southgates bluster about playing form players he then drops Shaw for Chilwell.
