Without his ludicrous speed there's really not much there. I think he's still quick enough to do the job they want on transitions, but here 1) City are having an off day and 2) he's up against a rampaging Saint-Maximin.
Do you think ASM will be a good fit for the way we want to play? Beating player 1v1 I think there's probably no better wingers in the league at doing that and we seem to want to isolate our wingers to do so.
Would create tons of space and havoc for both our RCM/LCM plus striker to attack.
I don't quite see it. He just doesn't quite have that last part reliably enough. It's probably between him and Zaha for most dangerous dribbler in the league, but I think they're both at the right level of club.
You remember how Bayern deemed Pépé a player that needs space and works better in transitions? That's ASM and Zaha. They are a nightmare in the chaos of a counter with space all around, but against low-blocks and tight spaces, they're not decisive enough or quick enough in thought and touch.
