# Manchester City: Fans bash Adama Traore comments on Raheem Sterling

**Speaking to Wolves’ [official website](https://www.wolves.co.uk/news/first-team/20200318-on-the-spot-adama-traore/#), winger Adama Traore sat down with the club’s media to answer a one-to-one questionnaire – going on to claim that City star Raheem Sterling plays like him when asked about playing styles.**

Traore, who has started [22](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/140088/Show/Adama-Traor%C3%A9) Premier League games for Wolves this season, had a brilliant outing in the [3-2 win](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/50862383) against City back in December 2019 – scoring the first goal as Nuno Espirito Santo’s side mounted an impressive comeback. Now, speaking to Wolves’ official site, Traore has stated that winger Sterling has a similar playing style to him but not the other way around – with many Sky Blues supporters slamming the comments in response.

According to [WhoScored](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/140088/Show/Adama-Traor%C3%A9), even though Traore holds the far superior dribble rate on average in the league ([5.2](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/140088/Show/Adama-Traor%C3%A9)), Sterling does amass more shots per game ([3](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/97692/Show/Raheem-Sterling)). However, City supporters do not like the comparison, branding the Wolves star a ‘[pace merchant](https://twitter.com/mancity_josh/status/1240712805340323841?s=21)‘ with ‘[no end product](https://twitter.com/mancity_josh/status/1240712805340323841?s=21)‘.
