Any hints in what way he may have been naughty ?

Not heard, just Chinese whispers….

So we can’t play without Ake, alverez and Lewis’ energy at the moment according to pep - and two of them are dropped!! Baffling. Love the bloke but never believe anything he says haha

Not dropped. Rested/rotated.

I’ve looked at the team sheet, looked again, taken a third look…and I’m still really worried about having Akanji on the left when Lewis moves into the MF when in possession…..he was like a headless chicken at times against spurs…

i dont know why people still insist on players being dropped after six years of pep rotating , he takes into consideration the other team and picks are team partly on who he thinks is the best for that game

Strange Alvarez has been dropped, really like what he brings to the team

His replacement looks to have potential

 

[Rolo]

As good as that team is, I just wish we could get some sort of stable starting 11 for a bit. Do we really need to change 3-4 positions every game? Team can't get in a flow.

Disappointed that Alvarez has been left out again. If he keeps being in and out of the side, he'll be wondering if he's at the right club for his development. Sitting on the bench isn't much use to him.

I share this concern. I'm hoping there is clear communication with him that his game time is being managed because he's been training (and playing sometimes) since September 2021 barring the period after the World Cup. From a continuity point of view as well as the lad looking fresh and on form, it makes no sense to bench him.

Agreed!

Will be Laporte on the left I would assume.
