Trying to figure out what he did wrong tonight to get so much stick?
It's not an experiement. We have no choice until either Ake, Akanji or Stones can return. Forest was the most likely line up to claw back somepoints but injuries have hampered that.
If pep plans to use Lewis the same way(and Walker) for the next 2 group game we are 99% out of the group.It will hit the club financially and damage the winter transfer window. The owner needs to have a work with Pep now if Rico reverted is the plan then Pep better take a golf leave.Pep won’t change. He has his favourites and that’s how he’s always been. Frustratingly. But it’s worked throughout his career so who are we to question.
But something needs to change.
He was awful last season, too.Walker's been a great player for us but he's finished, he's just dropped off massively this season.
I thinks it’s not what he does wrong per se it’s just what we lack with him he’s ok on the ball and will move but he doesn’t create he’s not a good defender he just a bit easy to play round and sitting next to gundo who has no legs but is nearly double his age it’s just ending up as a massive hole in our midfieldTrying to figure out what he did wrong tonight to get so much stick?
Far from it. He benched Lewis vs Forest. Injuries to both Ake and Akanji have forced the issue.It's an experiment, same as the Garcia experiment, both nowhere near good enough, even when injured players return Pep will pick him to try and prove a point, it's killing us.
The two final group games aren't until mid and late January. I don't think it's about getting players in January. It's about getting them in EARLY January.If pep plans to use Lewis the same way(and Walker) for the next 2 group game we are 99% out of the group.It will hit the club financially and damage the winter transfer window.
