Milner might be a workhorse, but he's got better attacking stats than Downing. No need for a comment on Johnson who is a proper winger. Sturridge's form did nosedive but I'd still prefer him to Downing. Hell, I'd take Kalou over Downing. Heh, I'd take The Invisible Man (Malouda) over Downing.
Oh yeah, and Terry is a better defender than Ferdinand. Always was.
Sturridge hates passing though. Especially when playing out wide.
