We're going to come to blows in the commentary room over the very point Lewis is talking about.
Rob Palmer's talking about Wednesday night and Stuart Robson.
And there's two points here.
Wednesday night is a big game.
But you've got to take the old cliche, one game at a time, and you cannot basically say, right, we're unlikely to win the league, so I'll start to make some changes, looking ahead to the game in midweek, because this is the most important one.
The more pressure you can put on Barcelona, the more chance that they are going to mess up.
But when you give a team that sort of breathing space,
The chances are they'll go out and beat Espanyol tomorrow and it'll be nine points.
But if Real Madrid had been able to put more pressure on today, it sort of slightly changes the picture.
And so I get it, Wednesday night issue.
But when you're in a title race, you have to take care of business first and foremost and then look forward.
And I just feel that, I think Luis touched on it, they took their eyes off it.
And he started to make changes.
And they took Jude Bellingham off.
OK, he's not had much game time and he's probably going to play Wednesday.
But he was the guy, as Stuart Robson said, that was making those runs into the box.
