82 | Rico Lewis - 2024/25

[toffee balls]

Tidy in recycling the ball but that’s pretty much it . Should be nowhere near our goal area.

If you have a strong stomach, watch him turn his back as the Feyenord player popped in the 3rd.

Looks like a schoolboy and plays like one too.

Avoids taking any risks, always chooses the safe option, even if it means he is not contributing enough to justify his presence in the starting 11.

How does that relate to “proof that someone who is thought to have committed a crime could not have done it.”?

 

[Dipsis_LTU_MC]

Wow Rico and Lahm in same sentence

Based on their playing profile - yes.

 

[Dax777]

If Rico is the problem you see in our squad, you are not paying attention.

I was drunk at the time but I had his passing in particular on my mind.

Alibipass

alibi pass

(sideways) pass without any intention, just to give the ball away to one of your team mates

Ah, it seems it has come from a different language.

Maybe being at the scene of the action, without actively doing any action.

That's not what alibi means but I appreciate the explanation.

 

[sir baconface]

I prefer the Ali Baba tactic myself.

Some people already have their minds made up about certain players.
They'll just bee looking for any opportunity to establish their confirmation bias.
Today, it's Rico Lewis. Tomorrow, it would be another player that they do not like.

 

[Tevez City]

Is he better than Liverpool 2nd choice RB ( Bradley ) ?

Bradley did very well against Mbappe and is miles better defensively overall. Much faster and more productive going forward as well. Technically worse, though, but I would still have him in the RB spot instead.

As a RB, no.

I didn’t know what it meant but, for me, you’re spot on in your assessment in this and previous posts.

For me he needs to take more risks and play the odd killer ball. He’s too safe. He is a neat player and can dribble but usually chooses a safe option, sideways, backwards often to the player who passed to him then he doesn’t become available and points to another area of the pitch.

There’s a player in there but he’s not showing us it. We all love an academy graduate to come good and I hope Rico starts to show more.

 

[BlueMoonAcrossThePond]

Lewis has class and is young. But he's currently terrible at defense and lacks the ability to make killer passes on a consistent basis. He needs to upgrade his game in one or both of those areas to transition into a first pick starter.

 

[117 M34]

As a full back ?
No

And there are other players his age who are better in midfield too.

I love the kid, i just don't think he's quite good enough to be a starter in our team

 

[Jonas.shaffer]

If you think he was the issue today, you're genuinely a moron. I'm not saying he's the solution, but he did much better than some are giving him credit for.

 

[Haaland94]

Does nothing offensively, doesn't even bother defensively, loses the ball all the time.

The usual suspects will defend him no matter what, though. Worst win-loss ratio in our team. Rico "pass to the nearest teamate and keep on pointing fingers" Lewis. He wouldn't start for any other Premier League team. He starts for us every week and we keep on losing.

 

[oldhamblue]

Not good enough for this team. Championship player at best
