We’re a bit past the days of just wanting someone in our squad who works his arse off. Sounds like when we had Paul Dickov, his range of passing was about as good as Rico’s tooA bit harsh to this young lad as a KDB,Foden and Haaland didnt shine either. Im still convinced he will help us if we get back on our form. He isnt an individual player who makes the difference but will be a very useful as a squad player who works his a** off for the team.
Well I take one of our own who works hard and plays with passion for this team instead of a new signing 50m+ who only wants to smell „Big Club feeling“ on the bench.We’re a bit past the days of just wanting someone in our squad who works his arse off.

he needs to lock down a proper positions but RB and inverted RB is not that. inverted fullback only looks good anyway if the team functions working well but they arent at all. we dont need to create midfield advantage when all midfielders sit on their own box from opposite team...
Cheers...Nothing against him yesterday because he shouldn't have been playing in the first place...
But we know what he offers, very little.Cheers...
And yet, Rico was played.
Some of the fault is on Pep for trusting Rico in the first place - but most of the blame must accrue to Rico - another, predictably shit performance for a likeable and gifted player - who has no business whatsoever being in our squad.
And rightly so more criticism.More criticism in here than for one of the biggest earners in Europe, Haaland. Lmao.
At least Rico runs like he want's to be out on the pitch, for fucks sake.
I'm not sure what he did worse than Gvardiol at the other fullback position yesterday, either.
'Rightly more criticism' for a natural midfielder, who's playing rightback, in a game where we didn't concede a single shot on goal, versus the 'world class' striker who had THREE touches in the first half?!And rightly so more criticism.
The bit you are missing is that Haaland plays good a lot & scores A lot of goals, Rico rarely has a good game hence the criticism being more worthy. Did you miss the bits yesterday where Haaland set up 2 goals but Savinho messed both assists up? The first one when Haaland pulled the ball across the box Savinho should have held back incase Nico missed the ball & he would have had a tap in but he followed Nico instead, the second one was one of the best knock downs you will ever see to Kovacic who was about to score until Savinho ruined it.'Rightly more criticism' for a natural midfielder, who's playing rightback, in a game where we didn't concede a single shot on goal, versus the 'world class' striker who had THREE touches in the first half?!
Lmao. You're touched in the head. If Haaland were an academy player like Lewis, 90% of you lot would be saying to bin him off and that he was a one-season wonder, etc., etc.
But to say a right back deserves more criticism than our striker in a game where we scored zero goals and conceded nothing is complete lunacy and reeks of some vendetta you have.The bit you are missing is that Haaland plays good a lot & scores A lot of goals, Rico rarely has a good game hence the criticism being more worthy.

Haaland has a low amount of touches because of Peps tactics its not Haaland, how can you not see this?
I don't know if he is likeable. Comes across as arrogant constantly pointing fingers, and not running back much. Some defend him only because he is from the academy. I personally don't care where the player is from, it's all about performances. I would much rather play someone like Khusanov because he shows every time how much he wants it in his performances.Cheers...

Vendetta? Grow up.But to say a right back deserves more criticism than our striker in a game where we scored zero goals and conceded nothing is complete lunacy and reeks of some vendetta you have.
Whatever. It's clear your bar of expectations for a "world-class" player is a lot lower than mine, so I'll leave it at that.
Say what you will about him but the fact that he stepped up to become the new FFS after Mahrez left shows how much character the kid has. We could all do with a designated punching bagHe’s become a boo boy on here.
