Think it's clear now that Pep tried Walker in the middle with an eye on this game. If he'd done a decent job, I reckon we'd have seen Lewis and Walker both play, with Lewis into midfield and Walker coming out to the right in possession.

I would imagine it may well be Lewis Akanji Laporte Ake now.

Bloody Nora, that reduces our quality on the ball at the back dramatically.

Walker-Akanji-Laporte-Ake

It’ll have to be.

That's a blow. Think we need to defend a bit further back and look to get Haaland into the game more quickly. I don't expect to see it though.
 
Stones is a huge miss. Would like to see him revert to a flat back 4(!) because we don't have another right sided centre half capable of coming out to the touchline with that inverted full back. Akanji can't do it if we use Anfield as an example.
 
With stones out it wouldn't surprise me if we went with walker akanji Ake cancelo like the last derby.
 
What is it with Stones and injuries? It seems he only has to sneeze and he pulls a hamstring. Very frustrating as he's one of our best CBs. With him and Dias out, I guess it'll be Laporte and Ake tomorrow.
