Unnecessary counter-factual given we did win the game, though

Your opinion on whether Rico is good enough for City is at this point as thoroughly documented as Nigel Farage’s views on the EU. I thought maybe after a resounding win you might not feel the need to revisit those grievances and just enjoy the moment

I’m enjoying the win. Believe me. Just feels the he played well is absolute nonsense.
 
Looking at the first goal again, it looks like he's playing the Palace play on too along with Dias, so yeah he takes blame too.

I thought this game showed quite well what he’s good at. So many times in the second half he got the ball surrounded by 3/4 palace players and moved it on quickly to release the forwards and take Palaces midfield out of the game.

He’s never going to be the best defender but he’s a functional one in this system and when he bulks up a bit as he gets older I think he’s going to be a great midfielder.

I think that's how Pep will use him next season personally.

We are playing with 3 deep midfielder, where one is sorta like a 10, but Lewis has the qualities to play there.
 
I didn’t think he was particularly dreadful. The way he plays is his level. I don’t think he will ever be a great player but Pep seems to like him and to be honest it is lucky dip with him and Nunes. Not like we have many options. Pep clearly doesn’t fancy Khusanov at RB else he would be playing there as both Rico and Nunes are average in that position. Rico is still better in a midfield role for me but not as a starter. Ok for the bench.
 
He was fine today.

I do like Rico, but he's not a right back, and to me he's a very specific player. I think his best role is kind of what Kovacic was today and also where he's at his best. Second midfielder in a double pivot, who doesn't have the primary defensive responsibilities, and is there to keep/recycle possession and link the attack.
 
very rarely dreadful as some would have you believe ,puts maximum effort in every game , and should be helping us squad wise, a squad player and a decent squad player at that, for some reason he gets singled out, he isn't a first team player yet, he is a young up and coming player, same and nico,and both along with james mac are helping us through our injury crisis, give the lad a fucking break ffs
 
Plays better with Nico on, really good in tight spaces after the poor start.

Don't think he can play without a Rodri/Nico on the pitch or he will just get exposed at RB.

He’s neat and tidy and looks good in a team that’s playing well and winning easily but that’s a mirage.

He doesn’t have the vision or the athleticism or the touch to be a midfielder in a top team.

Some, most, kids don’t make it … Rico’s one of em

He's literally already made it.

Closing in on 100 appearances aged 20, 5 England caps.

Some bizarre posts on here.

He's had a tough time this season, but so has the whole club. No careers go without spells of adversity.

He's never going to be Cafu, but he's a good player.
 
I loke Rico. And if i wete to net, id bet hed be hete next season.

Very good player who fits a technical team's style.
