We need Kevs energy and work rate back in midfield. I’ve got a feeling Peps going to play Kev a bit deeper this season to help out Fern.

I think you are right,the old dinho is still in there but he needs help,i think when kev comes back we will realise just how much better we are with him in the teamWe need Kevs energy and work rate back in midfield.

Kev is our most important player, not just because of his contribution towards goals, it’s because he leads from the front with his drive and work rate. There’s been something evidently missing so far this season with our general play and it’s definitely because of the absence of Kev.
I guess Delph's injury could be a factor, because in theory he could fill in, or because Kev's injury forced Gundogan to play further forward (lest we play Phil Foden actual minutes), but Pep's complete lack of rotation for Fernandino is a huge and growing failure in my opinion. He looks tired, and his overall level has clearly dropped since last season. Which OF COURSE was going to happen because he's 33 years old, played a ton last season, and had a very abbreviated offseason between the World Cup and the slightly early start to the Premier League.He’s started all 7 league games and played the full 90 in 6 of them, it’s ridiculous. Why did he play 90 minutes at the weekend for example?
In our first Champions League week he plays 90 minutes against Fulham (leading 3-0 after 47 minutes), four days later plays 90 against Lyon, then three days later plays 74 minutes against Cardiff (leading 3-0 at the half).
This week he'll play 90 minutes against Brighton (leading 2-0 and in complete control after 65 minutes), 90 against Hoffenheim, and surely another 90 at Anfield on Sunday. Why? Where is the squad management?
Delph will not be fit this week. And even if he were, I'd worry about a 'recently returned from injuries' against the dippers.Very poor,he simply isn't the force he was.If Delph is fit,i'd play him against the Dippers.
One has nothing to do with the other.Doesn't help that he's the only midfielder defending when Gundogan and Silva still around the 18 yard box
