No surprise that both Merlin and Kev are looking better since Ilkay isn't in the team.
Agree they were much better pre his inclusion but he's an excellent player and I think it's as much to do with them nothing playing centrally in Aguero's absence.
The real challenge was and will remain keeping them central and getting a striker in the team.
Liverpool I'd drop Fernandinho into centre half or leave Aguero out.
Sane left, Sterling right.
Silva & De Bruyne central.
