I just worry he would float inside and crowd Cou out.


Exactly. It would push Cou out, and push Suarez up. That is how I would see it playing out. Similar to the 4-4-2 I suppose, with Johnson being the primary winger on the right.

So then I guess... just make a 4-4-2 lineup right?

I'll say this... early on last season I liked what I saw with the overlaps, give-and-gos and what not with Johnson and Sterling. I saw a spark there with Johnson playing mentor to the lad.

They certainly had some chemistry. The great thing about Sterling is he's willing to take men on. I know he hasn't been popular this season, but its something we sorely lack. Cissokho has been so timid, its startling. I just don't understand why he refuses to take men on. It's what we bought him for! The second he steps foot in the attacking third he stops running and looks for the pass. At first I thought maybe it was because Johnson was pushing far up and BR may have wanted Aly further back in case he was needed on defense. But every time he passes the ball he bounds forward past the right back looking for a give and go. I would assume that means his orders are to push. If so, he's failing miserably.
