Yes but against very deep blocks Sterling has been our most successful winger to date for a reason. Yes he can also ghost, but when he's on it he uses his pace to make those runs inside/outside. Pace helps so much. It's a different option. When there's no pace, sometimes, even if you're creative, they can get comfortable as the defensive side because they know there's no need to worry about any pace from opposition, so they just stay more compact without being moved around as much. Palace away was a perfect example, second half was crying out for a Raheem appearance, or Jesus even. Just to give us a different dynamic.
I know we've been linked to a few wingers, honestly would love if we could get Doku into our squad.
