It's because one poster will slag a player, a couple agree, a few more agree....and it snowballs into a scapegoat. .....and here we've been, all along, with all the Lewis 'haters' wanting the 'invisible man' McAtee, more minutes....it's comical.20-years-old.
I remember last season, and many have forgotten, how poster after poster called for him to replace Walker because he was, for some time, significantly better, especially moving into midfield and even the attacking areas of the pitch. Now, for reasons unbeknown to me, in a team filled with underperforming players through injury, illness, and absence, he is the one singled out by so many whom, in my view, should know better and should remember that he is, as yet, a prospect making his way in the professional game at the absolute elite level. Good luck, Rico, and thanks for your contribution thus far.

Then you did not properly read last season's threads.All have read majority of posters say they don't rate him, I haven't once seen a page full of remarks claiming he's better than Walker.
Now I have seen page after page of posters saying we need to replace Walker but that isn't the same thing.

Very happy for you to have a look back in case you don't remember.Maybe I read what's there rather than what I want to read ;-)

I was born in '68, so mine can be sketchy too, but not in this case.
And that's cool - we are matched!I'm not arguing with you young man, just disagreeing with you.
A steady game for Rico yesterday. Taking him out of the firing line over the past few weeks has hopefully helped him to regain his confidence a little. He looked more self assured and he wasn’t throwing himself to the ground any time a player got anywhere near him. I assume the coaches have spoken to him about this which will help his development.
There’s definitely a player in there, hopefully he kicks on and continues to improve and could then be an important squad player. Time will tell.
I'll have to challenge you on that. People who are willing to abuse Rico while keeping quiet about some of the others are the ones I can't stand. Yes, his levels have dropped from last season, but he's been no worse than many other players, and assuming we'll finish in the top four if he doesn't play is absurd. Are we holding him responsible for the Arsenal debacle last week?The first game he has started where he hasn’t been atrocious in a while tbh, probably since Slavia Prague, maybe that’s his level? Keep him away from the starting line up and we’ll get in the top 4. Rico has had all time level stinkers this season, the worst I’ve seen at this club in a long time. Those fans who want him to start in the League or in the UCL from now on, you guys are the problem. For me he is a squad player, who is actually extremely lucky to even be a squad player, he would barely be a squad player at Everton. You “fans” who criticise our aging legends like Gundogan, KDB, Stones and Bernardo any fucking chance you get, but don’t utter a word about this Lad disgust me tbh, but that’s the world we live in.
