Kevs gone in the summer isn't he, I can't see the club giving him a new contract if he can't stay fit or play 90 minutes consistently, with his high wage as well.

The midfield is the problem. No cover for the back four we don't have a ball winner in the middle. If we had a ball winner our defence record would be a lot better.

Agree with the defenders but I’d have played Gvardiol instead of Lewis - playing in the Rodri role He’s a good defender when he has a mature back line playing with him; he can play in the Rodri role AND he gets goals.
The only reason he has made mistakes is because, at 24, he was exposed when Ake was taken off which left him playing with young inexperienced Lewis & a young kid as fellow defenders

I think he would have shone today with that back 4 behind him.

Ederson and Gvardiol being dropped are good calls.

De Bruyne not starting is an odd one and outside of fitness the only reason I could think of was that he turns the ball over so often and we can't defend so would lead to countless counter attacks. Only fathomable reason.

Would have liked to see Savinho over Rico too.

Do you really want to see Gundo and Kevin in the same midfield. I dread the day we see the pair together again. The legs can’t cover what they once could.

And if you ask me right now what the teams problem is, I would say energy.

 

[I'm Blue]

he should have played Kevin instead of lewis.
Hope for the best

Maybe his stomach still isn’t 100%

We might see there be a tactical alteration somewhere like a Lewis LWB. I doubt it but never know with Pep.

 

[TFC]

Happy to see Ederson and Gvardiol taken out of the firing line, both liabilities as it stood. Our Pep still not afraid to make those big calls, nice one Pep :)

Now bring it on scouse twats

Akanji + Gundogan double pivot in possession.

 

[Gus Fring]

Hoping for an Ake masterclass against Salah, nice to see Dias back too.

What will be, will be.

Blood and sand, give the lads a chance.They’ve not even got their liniment on yet and lots of you are writing them off.
Positive vibes and energy needed for today.
Come on you blue boys.

Akanji + Gundogan double pivot in possession.

Yeah that’s what I was thinking Akanji forming the +1 in possession.

Will be better than Lewis playing at RB and AM.
