Yeah but my point is we could take a risk on Bellingham if he had been available for a lower price. We can't take risk on a player with the price tag that Bellingham has. Been there done that

It seems everyone apart from pep can see that mahrez and grealish together just doesn't work.
Maybe one of the stattos can work out win percentages for starting with them two and I may be proven wrong but it seems we struggle when the two start together.
Speaking of this season Mahrez&Grealish rarely started together in the PL but they won the games except this one against Everton.
Do you really think that we did not win this one because this winger pair, not an off pace KDB or a shaky defense who cannot defend the only time counter came down that side?
While Foden & Bernado pair has the worst winning percentage this season...

I do, and I have ;-)If you say so ............
I know your not.I’m not arguing with you mate. Pep will walk if he doesn’t get success or if the players stop responding to him. I just think a poor game against Everton has caused a massive overreaction.
I guess we'll wait and see what he comes up with for Thursday. But if its Foden replacing Grealish and the whole inverted FB stuff with Ake at left back and say Bernardo on the bench I'd say its time to worry big time.
And...we started with Phil Haaland and Grealish up top and got not one but two hat tricks! that's what people are trying to say and asking questions. You're making the point for those that are peeved. The current set up is boring and predictable as fuck.It wasn't boring watching us destroy United 6-3!

He's logging too many minutes.yes this is what I think is the reason. don't think fitness is a issue. he was running a closing down in 90+3 mins last match

Alvarez & Foden 100%
Alvarez cannot hold onto the ball...
He lost the ball as soon as coming onto the pitch the other night because his first touch was awful. It resulted into an dangerous situation and Ake had to fly tackle...
Foden loves to exploit behind.
If you have Alvarez Haaland and Foden all together... who will control the ball?
Messi played that ball holder role in the national team to allow Alvarez running in behind...
Kick those 2 stiffs to the curb. Get Haaland the fuck out too and put Palmer in as the false 9.Alvarez & Foden 100%
