Because Alvarez is Pep's favorite or something along those lines...
I can only speculate this when Pep goes on and on about Phil losing the ball at midfield versus Palace, but he seems perfectly content with Alvarez doing the same repeatedly despite having half the talent.
That last fifteen minutes against Palace was a shitshow from a few players. Stupidity from Phil when all we had to do was see it out. Same with Bernardo on the touchline.
I'm not sure if it's the personnel available or a change of tactics but we're far too easy to play through this season. I remember even a shit Huddersfield side created at least three very good chances against us in a game we dominated and won 5-0.
Pep needs to sort it and quickly as we enter a very tough March. If we play like today against the rags, Spurs, Villa, dippers and Arsenal we're fucked.
