Pep is stubborn. Very stubborn. It’s a strength in many ways but I think he is fixated with making Lewis into Lahm #2. Sadly Lewis isn’t of that level and likely never will be. His weaknesses are too easily exposed.
I think Pep prefers malleable kids who don’t answer back. Foden was such and I suspect Rico’s a nice, unassuming boy.Fine but that’s not what you said you said Pep didn’t want him
Wright is actually much better player for the situation we are in. Energy and strength.Lewis should be proud of his achievement of making the first team.
However every game is showing he is not for this level of football
As I keep saying to my friend as we leave the games, whatever the question is Rico Lewis is not the answer.
Wish other young players from the academy are given the minutes Pep gives him, McAtee Wright etc
