    I understand what you're getting at, but imo, they don't even have the basic combinations right (perhaps this is as you point out due to changing formations) but i think it runs deeper than that, the new players have not gelled straight away and thats causing alot of problems in the final third, how often do we see a flick pass into open space but nobody running onto it because they didnt expect it, or how often do we see players shooting when they have a man they could slide in across the box?
    It's not just the changing of formations but the changing of players and the swapping of players between positions. If Suarez plays a flick to the left wing what happens next will depend on who the left winger is. Bellamy would react differently to Downing, for example Bellamy might cut inside and have a shot where as Downing would probably take it on the outside take another touch and cross a ball into the box. What Suarez has to do isn't 'automatic' he has to think for a moment about what he should do.

    Players need to get used to playing together to develop this understanding. We don't have a regular left side pairing (Enrique & Downing or Enrique and Bellamy) the right side is worse as we've had so many different players at both right back and right midfield, we don't have a regular strike partnership, and now Gerrard is back it doesn't look as though we know what our regular central midfield pairing will be.
    The only gracious way to accept an insult is to ignore it; if you can't ignore it, top it; if you can't top it, laugh at it; if you can't laugh at it, it's probably deserved.

      It's one of Kuyt, Gerrard or Henderson, although on of them is a natural right sided player, especially for a 4-4-2.

        Sterling is young but he is our best option on the right. Even Johnson could be an option there with Kelly behind him.

        We need pace and skill on the right. Kuyt is a good player but not in a 4-4-2 on the right.

        Johnson and Sterling is at the moment our best two options on the right in a 4-4-2.

            There's no way Sterling is ready for first team football yet.

              yes exactly what i would have said ..... johnson is excellent at getting forward .....sterling is a star in the making and would benefit form making sub appearances to start

                We don't know that?

                He could be excellent and cope without any problem and maybe it is to early. We don't know that until he played in the PL.

                I would myself play Johnson on the right with Kelly behind him.

                ---------------------------Reina
                Kelly-------------Coates-------------Agger-----------Enrique
                Johnson---------Lucas-----------Gerrard-------------Downing

                            That's the point

                            We don't really seem to have one, or at least a consistent one.

                              To me it's obvious.

                              4-3-3

                              Bellamy-Carroll-Suarez
                              Adam-Lucas-Gerrard
                              Enrique-Agger-Carra-Johnson

                              Yet that team has ever played together. Also selling Meireles has proved to be a mistake.Feeling quite about itall at the mo.Kenny has made some odd choices this year plus no luck at all.

                                Aye I only saw the title, posted my comment and then read on to see you'd said the same thing in your post.

                                I have no clue what our plan is, what we're trying to achieve.
