Ta ra Rico

Another player who is championship level at best

That 90 mins was Rico in a nutshell.

1st half - the team dominates, he is involved. Decent half.

2nd half - the opposition get a foothold in the game. He has to defend. He has to run. He has to mark players. He has to work hard off the ball. He can’t do it. He is the most unfit pro footballer of his age I have seen in a long time. He can’t run. He’s 2’ 8” tall. He weighs 4 stone piss wet through. He’s no fucking good.

One of the few positives of Pep leaving is we will never have to see Rico in a meaningful match again. No other manager is going to entertain him.

Pep banished him after his shitshow at the swamp. He got picked today as he felt sorry for him. If Pep stayed next summer Rico wouldn't play. Pep knows he's shite

And so did 55000 others today

 

[ws01]

Needs to be sold for both our sake and his. He's got some talent there but it's not of the right quality or quantity to play for us

 

[the old abbey]

Absolutely woeful

 

[come-on-barney]

Think a lot of that side that started today will be gone, including Rico.

 

[Brad mcfc]

Not good enough sadly.

 

[chris85mcfc]

Was never good enough

 

[oldius]

If Maresca comes, I would love Rico to get an opportunity.
At 21, I feel some are dismissing him too readily.
I do suspect he will be moved on though and I will be sad about that if it happens.

 

[blue ranger]

Hope that's the last we see of him. Wish him
all the best for the future but he is nowhere near our level. Luckily today didn't matter cos he was awful again.

 

[Scottyboi]

Good luck in the future Rico.

 

[Eric Hitchmough]

Wish him all the best in his next adventure.

 

[Blue2112]

Felt for the lad today must have knocked off the last remaining 50k on his transfer fee. Im not sure why we didnt let him go to a team where he could have flourished more.

 

[NordStrike]

There is no single Premier League team or championship promoted team in which he will be in 20 man matchday squad.

 

[stan bowles]

I knew Pep would start him today and obviously did so out of sympathy. What we all already knew - too small and lightweight to be effective at PL level.

 

[Akira]

Very poor game where his weaknesses are really on show. Couldn't keep pace with the opposition and kept losing the physical battle.

 

[Rammy Blue]

Mad to think he was looking decent in an England shirt not long ago, a proper fall from grace.

 

[philiph20]

Hopefully Forest still want him and we can use him as part of the Anderson deal.

 

[Jezza11]

Really really wanted Rico to do well since he came into the first team squad, mainly because he’s a blue and he has a great attitude. Unfortunately he is not the required level and we need to be ruthless post-pep

His effort today was pathetic.
