If Sterling has any value at all (something that's becoming increasingly questionnable) it's surely to come on later when the game is stretched
Yeah Trossard has been far more effective as a creator than a goalscorer, he looked far better when he moved left against Leicester for sure.

I don’t expect Merino to start producing goals regularly because that would be far too fairytale. But we simply have nothing to lose by playing him up front, if nothing else he’s reasonably ok at holding the ball up. He won’t run anywhere near as much as Havertz but hopefully he won’t have to
