82 | Rico Lewis - 2022/23 Performances

[Gobshiight]

He gets better every game

I'm certain he'll be a regular next year, rotating in when Walker needs resting

 

[yankblue]

He's got a bright future

 

[WallyA]

He might become our best fullback ever, high bar set by Zaba.

Ive never seen an a fullback this complete in quality at such a young age.

 

[Goater=Legend]

He's got a big future here, a position we don't have to worry about once Walker leaves.

Huge from Pep to trust him as an inverted full back against Liverpool.

 

[Tugay One Cup]

I am trying to not get too excited.

He was made in a lab for Pep.

 

[Lauz9888]

Fantastic today. I'm really pleased for the lad.

A season or two as understudy to Walker/Cancelo, slowly increasing his playing time, will work wonders for his development.

He's inevitably going to make some mistakes sometimes, but today he didn't put a foot wrong. Very bright future hopefully.

 

[St.Pauli support]

What a cool fecker. Fantastic attitude.

 

[AlexWilliamsGloves]

What a player! His (our) future is bright. Gonna be a fantastic player…hope he can develop and keep his career at City

 

[super_city_si]

Hes ready for action now. If walker isnt available, Rico should be RB with cancelo left.

 

[snorky]

Great performance

I hate to put a downer on the performance. But I don't think we will ever see Rico play again after his Cameo this evening. Just being honest.

Quoting myself from 1st September. But hey ho. Sometimes it is nice to be wrong :)

Kyle Walker mate, come on.

 

[Hart of the Matter]

The boy done good.

 

[domalino]

He's the promised one, coming of age just in time that Trent Alexander-Arnold won't get a game for England when Walker finally retires.

 

[WallyA]

Kyle Walker mate, come on.

I agree on paper, Walker is a defensive wall.

Zaba is just that little bit more special for me.

With the frightening prospect of Lewis somehow eclipsing both.

And I agree with what you said above, next Euros even, Lewis will be Englands starting RB.

 

[MCFC.35]

As an inverted fullback he does the role very very well, but as an out and out fullback he will struggle against top wingers. I think at the end of the day he just suits the way Pep wants his fullbacks to play, but at any other top club he could struggle to hit the heights.
He’s not not better than Trent or James as a traditional fullback

 

[Delphinho]

He’s not not better than Trent or James as a traditional fullback

He might not be as good but he’s also 5/6 years younger

 

[Don Karleone]

 

[Kinkladze's crazy skills]

Totally rose to the occasion tonight... Pressed well... Passed well... Transitioned well into midfield while finding spaces for his inverted full back role... Faultless, his best game so far.

I'm not one for hyping kids too much but he's going to be a great player for us, he's already proving very useful at such a young age, Pep loves him and it's easy to see why.
