It's not very often that I find myself baffled by a Pep lineup as I am right now. On most fan sites the predicted lineups all had Kev and Jack in and no sign of Lewis and Walker.
Lewis has offered nothing creatively in the last 6 games and is presumably picked for "having legs in midfield" yet during this poor run he has not tracked many runners and I fear he will not be able to keep a grip of the Liverpool counters. He clearly can do no wrong in the managers eyes.
Walker has been awful yet Pep has dropped a young lad who has made a few mistakes and picked our captain who very rarely owns a shit performance, rather blames others. Jack would have been in for me as he adds control and has the sort of shithousery that frustrates a home team and crowd. Kev must be done as others have said - this was a game made for him and given how reluctant we are at making subs it's going to be a long afternoon. It wasn't on him that the last game fell apart - that was on defenders not doing any sort of job.
All that being said watch us go and get a result and I like a few others will be left retracting any concerns. To do that we need Bernie (who has been abject on this run) and Phil to play much better and be back to something close to normal...
I hope to God I am wrong and will be a happy bunny this evening. I would love to post an apology to our genius of a manager at tea time!
