I have absolutely no doubt we will line up 4-5-1 in some games
4-5-1 and 4-3-3 can be very easily interchangeable, as long as the wider players have the work ethic, and the ability, to work up and down the pitch.

We're finally relieving the pressure on Silva and adding options. We've been far too reliant on him. Silva, De Bruyne and Sterling can create tons of chances but are quite different players. The variety we will have is incredible. We can play our 'lockpicking' style of passing through tight spaces, we can play a mobile counter attacking style (Sterling + De Bruyne would be lethal and this might be good in Europe), or with De Bruyne we can even pack the box because he has some of the best delivery around.
We'll definitely be carrying too many attacking mids though, I could possibly see a surprise sale - more likely Navas than Nasri I'd guess? Lopes would benefit from one more year on loan. As good as he looks, weekly football will be better long-term for him and us. There seem to be more chances for Kelechi and Denayer to play this year.
wrong lopes bench and sterling left kdb on-------dinho/delph/nando---------
----yaya/dinho----pogba/nasri----
sterling/jesus-----------silva/lopes
----------kun/bone/nacho---------
No room for KDB
Nasri the new Milner? Can play CM, RW, LW, false 9. He certainly won't be happy with it but might work out that way. Hard to see one position he can make his own, unless pogba falls through

Sure there were rumours of Navas to Seville not long ago
