I think Lewis is a victim of the system, asking him to move inside and forward then wondering why he's not at the back post for a Palace cross is a bit unfair - but having said that, a better player senses the danger earlier.
The thing is though he's mean't to be playing right back.

We all know he's not a right back but a right back should be covering the back post and know where his man is!
 
I appreciate that but the goal itself he's facing towards our goal and doesn't react at all to eze. Walker was able to do because of his pace. Lewis has to be smarter about it or pep should abandon that whole system if he wants Rico playing and doesn't have the required players around to support it
Do you mean that he has to sense the danger earlier?
 
I am more concerned about how long it’s going to take before we start to reach anything close to previous levels.

The current level is poor to say the least.

We give away so many cheap easy goals due to positional awareness. The set up is easy to break down and most teams do it easily.

Fuck knows how long this will go on for. Rodri ain’t gonna fix this on his own no matter how good.
Doubt we'll ever see those levels again.

Hope I'm wrong.
 
This is Crystal Palace at home not Liverpool and we are talking as if this is top level footie . Luckily for us that third goal wasn’t given as it’s been a disaster . Kdb has pulled one out of the fire and Mamoush is quality but we are so far off where we need to be it’s astounding . Gundo as been a great servant but i don’t care whether I see him or Lewis in a city shirt again.
It...is top level footie?

He doesn’t sense danger at all. He’s always behind play defensively
 
What has Lewis done so wrong? Or it just because he’s the latest boo boy
he is consistently out of position, he misses challenges, gives the ball away quite frequently, i wouldnt consider him to be the latest boo boy its just unfortunately the negatives outweigh the positives
 
sorry don't see it, he think he is far better than reality
He has gotten 2 clear chances from his movement. His movement also created the 3 goal.

He does a better job hanging off his defenders shoulder and is the best player I've seen in a long time who can just hide in plain sight.

Its hard to explain. But he does it.

Looking forward to the future, id like to try a version of him and Marmoush as the wingers playing off Haaland. Their movements are a beauty and they are goal threats. But that's in future. For now, both have been great.

I think people are struggling to recognize we are playing some fantastic quick movement football.

What position is he then, because I'm fucked if I know (and I include right back in that)
The same could be asked of McAtee.
