Rico against Leverkusen was a new low for him, shocking game but his partners in midfield were as bad.

That was one of the worst games I’ve seen us play in a long time and we actually have bad games in us fairly oftenRico against Leverkusen was a new low for him, shocking game but his partners in midfield were as bad.

another solid game
He is really solid as a 3rd CB/sometimes wide FB role where his buildup with passing is important.Thought he was very impressive in the first half. He shut down a lot of their potential attacks
He plays deeper than O Reilly most of the time.

Hopefully he's shaken off what was a nasty challenge and has no lasting damage. Another solid game from him.
He did misplace a pass by about an inch that caused Dias to stretch slightly at one point though so relegate him to the eds squad and sell him on Jan for a fiver...

Will make a fuck up every now and then but outside that hes great. Seems to need to drop a bollock in order to re focus.
No problem seeing him line up at right back.

He covers so much ground on that side of the field. That four of Nunes, Bernardo, Nico G and Nico O'R get through so much work across the middle third of then pitch
What fuck up did he had today? Because everyone in Defence does? Or is it only mentioned when it’s him?Will make a fuck up every now and then but outside that hes great. Seems to need to drop a bollock in order to re focus.

Nothing today, hence the ‘now and then’. I like him but he fucked up last week v leeds. He has one in him. Despite that I still think he’s a very good choice for right back.What fuck up did he had today? Because everyone in Defence does? Or is it only mentioned when it’s him?

I think he's been brilliant this season, he was solid again today.
I think it was that poor pass in the first half that Dias blocked. No, that was Gvardiol.Good point. By my calculations, however, that would only remove 4 of the 16 who got on the pitch today.
Or maybe that poor touch that let them in but Donnarumma came to the rescue. No, I'm wrong again. That was Dias.

I sent in the same response to 2 different posts.

we have to stop overanalyzing every error he makes, we have to stop with this "yeah he's okay and i'll keep him as backup but we need a real RB". any RB you get will make mistakes. i guarantee you. most of them will make more mistakes than he does. you have to evaluate him by his average performance level, not the variance. his average is very high and even his consistency level has been very good for a while now.

Its funny how many only point out every single error of his but don't do the same with all of our back line.we have to stop overanalyzing every error he makes, we have to stop with this "yeah he's okay and i'll keep him as backup but we need a real RB". any RB you get will make mistakes. i guarantee you. most of them will make more mistakes than he does. you have to evaluate him by his average performance level, not the variance. his average is very high and even his consistency level has been very good for a while now.
O'Reilly fucked up and cost us a goal at Newcastle, barely any mention of it. Gvardiol fucked up and cost us a pen/goal against Leeds, not much of a mention. Dias dropped a bollock against Sunderland but got bailed out, hardly mentioned. Nunes cost us a goal against Leeds, mentioned repeatedly for numerous games.

and they never specify just who that magical right back that never makes mistakes currently on the market they think we should target instead is!Its funny how many only point out every single error of his but don't do the same with all of our back line.
