82 | Rico Lewis - 2022/23 Performances

[TFC]

How about this lad? Superb.

 

[kunaguero10]

He’s much more comfortable in the inverted midfield role than Walker

Looks a great player and ready to be relied upon now, not just a prospect any more

 

[Zin 'messiah' Zimmer]

Kyle should be worried (:

 

[Gumzy97]

Put it before but it's scary how similar he is to Kimmich, how he takes the ball under pressure the awareness not to get caught in possession and his tenacity to win the ball back. He's so similar to Kimmich

 

[dhruvblue]

He is 18 and has a lot to learn and improve. Ceiling is very high for this lad

I agree. What he doesn't have against Kyle, nobody in world football has. As a footballer, he has a far higher ceiling and his intelligence to play that role is scary. Still, there is a long, long way to go and there can be many, many pitfalls in the road. If he stays humble, patient, and works hard, he could be huge. As for Kyle, to achieve what he has achieved is incredible, and he has been a huge factor in our success, possessing a physicality that has allowed us to dominate so many games that would not be possible without the security of his blistering pace.

Did not once look like we have a youngster on right back. Great game.

 

[Mazzarelli's Swiss Cheese]

Kyle should be worried (:

I think it's good news for Kyle who is approaching the age where he'll need to play fewer and games each season to maximize his top flight career - should dovetail nicely with Rico maturing.

Walker only has speed and experience on Lewis Lewis in that hole one touch passing and movement is far better than walkers! Good now we have a quality back up right back Lewis looks a player

Kyle's also not a lightweight ;)

The kid is easily becoming one of my favourites

 

[Hart of the Matter]

Not only a great level of skill but has the tenacity to match. Loved how he chased down a rare mistake last night and his play to set up Grealish was top drawer.

 

[Saddleworth2]

A great performance again. Leeds and Liverpool away. Chelsea at home, his consistent excellent standards are unbelievable for a eighteen year old. Great to see three of our academy feature last night and Rico was the pick of them.

This lad has had an incredible start to his first team career, he looks so comfortable in this team it's scary.

 

[BlueMoonRisin’]

It's really pleasing seeing Rico play with great confidence and attitude when he's on the ball. He has a lot to learn but so far he's excelled in the first team.

 

[Rolo]

Biggest compliment I can give is he didn't look out of place at all. Very impressive.

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

Biggest compliment I can give is he didn't look out of place at all. Very impressive.

Yeah, looks as though he's been at playing RB in the PL for some time! He has the talent to be another academy player who has regular PL games.

 

[christened at st marks]

Has to end up in midfield already making us tick there

 

[blue ranger]

Was exceptional against Liverpool

Below average against Leeds


Anyway, glad he started as I wished and hopefully he will have more chances and more exceptional performances soon.

Think you should watch again. He wasn’t as good as he was against Liverpool but it was still a great performance from him.

 

[Turner92]

Always worried we would struggle to replace Walker then this lad come along from the academy and looks absolutely too draw big future ahead for him

 

[richards30]

He’s our Kimmich isn’t he? Pep already got him stepping into midfield with confidence which is incredible! Would like to think he gets a new and improved long term contract asap.
