I love how we've gone from Henderson/Downing/Kuyt on the wings last season to the pace of Assaidi/Suso/Sterling. Granted none of the former were snails but by comparison to these newcomers they looked like OAPs.
It's not just the pace though, it's the jinking, unpredictable runs, the agility, the quick and composed footwork in tight situations. I'm loving it so far, and it can only get better.
On a side note I think Assaidi should start on Sunday, I have a feeling he'd rip Hibbert an new one.
Pace on the wings

I completely agree! Assaidi should slaughter the everyone defence

Agree mate...loved kuyt but how many times were we crying out for pace in games......now if only Suarez could convert half his chances we score 5 a game.

We are crying out for a finisher!

Not sure i would include Suso in the pace category, but i agree with your sentiments

I needed to make it three.
He has got pace though, not quite Sterling-esque admittedly.

I wish we still had Kuyt, he would be good cover for the striker role and we'd at least have a striker on the bench. It's a shame Kenny marginalised him, thus forced his hand.
