Our Fantastic Four...

Borussia and Watford games were won late on after Navas had replaced one of the 4. Newcastle result was mainly due to massive improvement in 2nd half when again Navas replaced one of the 4. See a pattern developing?

very good point.

I know he's played on the left all season but is there a reason we don't move Sterling back to the right?

I seem to remember in the first few games of this season KDB and Raheem rotated with each other at times during the game. That seems to have stopped now

They'll come good, don't forget the haven't played together all that much. I think they all need to become accustomed to each others movement and runs, they need to learn who going to make what movement where.

It also doesn't help that they've had limited time together due to injuries to personnel. I'd also use Barcelona as an example, Suarez, Neymar and Messi initially struggled, it's all about balance and learning each others game.

Sterling, Silva, De Bruyne and Aguero, on paper there isnt a better front four in the premier league and you would struggle to find better in the world excluded Bayern, Barca and Madrid. So why isnt it quite clicking? Is it because they just need a run of games together due to aguero and silvas injuries?

Im hoping these four start blowing teams away, but will they? There are even threads on how de bruyne and silva cant play together, surely thats nonsense.

Would a line up like this work?

.......Strerling........Aguero
Silva...............................De Bruyne

This is opposed to our current formation whereby aguero is up top basically alone.

The problem is that there's four of them. Madrid Barça and Bayern play with front threes. Fair enough at home to bottom 12 opposition but we should only be playing three of these forward players in many other games. We need more possession players behind them.
