His pace is also crucial to help out the FB when recovering on the oppo's counter.He did exactly what he was bought to do today. He came off the bench to inject some pace to an already flagging City defence. The commentator touched on how Navas was used as City's impact sub and that N'Jie looks like he could be ours, and I would say there's a good deal of sense in that.
He's going to lose the ball a few times, and he's going to hit a wrong pass here and there, but he's the kind of player who will at least have a go. He's quick and he knows it. He'll also make those runs past Kane, and since Harry is very good at dropping back and knocking some clever passes through, the two could link up very well.
We really needed that bit of pace and N'Jie, along with Son, look like smart acquisitions. Time will tell if he picks up enough to cement a first team spot, but he's still young and getting used to the league, so right now he's a very smart option off the bench when we need something different.
