Because Lewis is not twice as good as Mainoo.
Do you think he is.
Mainoo played OK in the euros and has been one of the better rags players, even though he is young.
Plus Mainoo has been a contributing factor in them losing so many matches. Defensively he is piss poor. Lewis understands both defence and attack when he plays for us.Dunno about twice as good, but I think that Lewis is better too.
No idea how.good Mainoo is. He might be really good, but he hasn't played in any kind of proper system that seems him get more than about 40 touches per match. He's not shown any kind of control of matches, though he has got decent footwork.
Lewis has shown he can play in the best side in the country. Levels.
Yes I do..Because Lewis is not twice as good as Mainoo.
Do you think he is.

I dont agree we cant win without rodri either.....its just plain stupid....There aren't many games we can make a call on when we play without Rodri. Wolves, Arsenal, Villa. Other injury issues had an impact on how we lined up in those so I don't put too much on the whole "we can't win without Rodri" statement. The Luton game was more reflective because we had a fully fit squad near enough. I also don't judge players on the odd game because combinations and time in the squad and under Pep make a huge difference as we've seen with plenty of players in his time. Phillips isn't worth mentioning, he's not replacing anyone sadly and will be gone as soon as we can get rid.
There's also the fact that all this panic over Rodri is potentially unnecessary. He missed games because he was suspended. Otherwise he's been fit and available. So the rest is all hypothetical. He needs resting, but there are opportunities to do it. Ideally not away from home and ideally not against sides at the top of the table. But certainly even bringing him off after 60 minutes or so would help.
Blue Tone is an absolute bull shitter who lives in Southampton,he just collates other peoples comments & re posts them, he makes comments on Matchdays re the early team news leaks such as ‘Haaland starts’ No shit Sherlock.Blue tone posted the City Squad - Jesus talk about being repetitive when it comes to players going nobody is saying we want 5 6 7 - We Just Rodri help
Think Pep said it best himself as if he was just a bit taller he would be getting the PR mainoo is. He would be starting in number 8 for us and be up there for one of the best young players in the league.Yes I do..
Just frustrating when he has said for about the 100th time players have got to go before signings. People understand that but when he tweets it every day same old " no contact " yawnBlue Tone is an absolute bull shitter who lives in Southampton,he just collates other peoples comments & re posts them, he makes comments on Matchdays re the early team news leaks such as ‘Haaland starts’ No shit Sherlock.
There is no player on Earth that is going to sit on the bench whilst having enough ability and trust from Pep to rotate with Rodri, if there was when we would have signed them.I dont agree we cant win without rodri either.....its just plain stupid....
But he is integral to how we play in the big games.....we risk him being injured for those if we dont have someone to come in and replace him at times...Rodri has said himself he has played too much - when a player like him is saying this the club needs to listen...we are risking serious injury to him otherwise.
If Pep had felt comfortable resting him he would have - the fact that he rareily if every did this shows you also that we need someone else
We also need a KDB replacement in my view.....this should be KDB last season...he struggled in big games last year at times.....
Think some people think he is in a DM Group but guess like you said he gets it from comments he see's.Blue Tone is an absolute bull shitter who lives in Southampton,he just collates other peoples comments & re posts them, he makes comments on Matchdays re the early team news leaks such as ‘Haaland starts’ No shit Sherlock.
