we tried that against barcelona last year, not sure it worked great.I think there is a bit to be said for this. More robust defensively than Sterling, yet still carries a threat going forwards or from free kicks. Offers better control in midfield.
Then sub Sterling or Kelechi in with 20 to go.
Initially seems a bit 'out of left field' but on analysis has a bit going for it. Yes, would need work rate.
