He does chip in with the goals.
He is a right back and has always been a right back.Lewis is not RB, for sure. Even if you keep trying he is not. Why Pep insist to play him RB is beyond any logic.
Against inferior opposition he looks good but against superior teams his mistakes are more pronounced. Young lad whose heart is in the right place. He will learn.I don’t know. I’m not seeing it. Every game he starts or comes on he’s in the thick of what inevitably goes wrong. It’s a pattern. I don’t think he’s been decent at all.. I’m sorry, would love him to prove me wrong but every single game he proves me right. It’s frustrating.
Didn't say he does. Just don't see him playing any role at any club other than that.No chance he gets any where near SWP’s level,he doesn’t have the attributes !
In interviews he declares himself as a midfielder.He is a right back and has always been a right back.
he isn't a wing back or midfielder though and should not be centuring further than our 20 yard line and just concentrate on defending
I mean this guy you have described sounds fantastic. You’ve posted it in the Rico Lewis thread though.He's a midfielder. Would like to see him take Bernardo's role in the squad next season. Would also like to see what would happen if we played Bernardo at full-back every week like we do Rico - or maybe I don't.
A young lad who deserves another season further up the pitch. He's technically gifted, nippy, doesn't shy away from a scrap, and has a bit of an eye for goal. Would like to see him as an #8 for a proper run.
Not every academy lad we have needs to be a world beater. Saved the treble season imo when Cancelo threw a wobbly, was an important player in our team last year. He can get back there, just needs patience.

Every team needs its John O'Shea and if Rico's happy being ours then I'm happy with him staying for a while. Do think he deserves a chance further up the pitch - he has the attributes - but unsure if Pep will give it him.
Had he put Khusanov or Nunes on we might all be saying the same thing, especially when given a hospital pass. We now have three to five players who are arguably not right backs and our only right back playing in Milan. Still, this isn’t the squad planning thread…Putting Lewis on against Madrid is nutcase stuff
He wouldn’t have got a card, the referee mustn’t have brought any because Bellingham pulled Sevinho back and the ref gave a foul but no card. Oh yeah, he’d have missed the next leg wouldn’t heI actually think he played ok when he came on, pressured situation against a rapid winger...... until. Until. Shithouse pass from Kovacic but Lewis had to be aggressive, he absolutely had to go hard towards the ball and man and make sure one or the other or both didn't go past.
Take a card, whatever, that situation demanded an aggressive front foot solution and he stood back on one leg and wafted a foot at it.
