Lewis has really fallen back down the order of late.

He’s a young lad who was in a rich vein of form

His time will come

I have a sneaking suspicion that Pep hasn’t been happy with his training and/or limited performances since he returned from WC (even beyond the “overweight” comments) and this is one of his patented tests to see how Phillips reacts.

Does he sulk and stomp?

Or does he put he knuckle down and work harder for a place?

At the final whistle last week, he stormed off straight down the tunnel shaking his head.

We need to protect eric now nathan is out

He’s playing so there’s just as much chance of him getting injured at LB as CB

Speaks volumes about peps thoughts on Phillips for me

From the 5 mins of itv coverage I can see where their loyalties are today .

Surprised at that line up. Wasn't expecting to see Grealish, Bernardo or Haaland in there. And I thought Lewis and Palmer might have got the nod for today. But I guess this Pep chancer knows a bit more about this management malarkey than I do. Maybe.

I feel second half vs Leicester may have had Pep second guessing giving too many fringe players a run-out at once..especially at this point in the season. Not worth the risk.

Where is our city rep on the panel, fucking hell itv

I wonder if it's Grealish in midfield with Alvarez on the left, or if Alvarez is playing a KDB type role? I am guessing the latter but will be interesting.

Happy for Gomez. I think there's a player in there

Not so sure on Gomez….
