82 | Rico Lewis - 2022/23 Performances

He tries to be funny but he comes across as a clueless knob. A bit of a dinosaur.

Yeah. Another boring **** who can‘t accept that the game has moved on since his time.
Talks about the match like its 1990 and training sessions should be spent working with a back four tied together on a fucking rope.

Like the kid a lot. I think he has been very good. Never gives the ball away, but hasn't got the power of Walker. Good first season though.

Great player but lets remember he’s 18 and still has lots to learn. Caught out defensively against very good arsenal wingers. Great experience for him. He’ll learn and improve. His future is very bright.

 

[LongsightM13]

He was sharp as ever yesterday evening. I have also noticed that he was not crossing the ball in which seems to be his only weakness. He naively didn't cut the ball back yesterday. The best prospect we have ever had though.

The kid is good but that’s pure hyperbole

I think it's the worst comment I've ever seen

Lewis is very talented. His forte is that he is able to help in the build up - keeping control - with quick one-two passes.

Lewis also is good at pressing - frequently winning tackles - and he's got pace.

Lewis isn't good though at the final, deft pass - he's no Gundo or KDB or Bernardo. He's young though - so maybe that talent will develop.

Sometimes Lewis is caught out - when pressed - he has the occasional error - not a big deal - but he's no Rodri in terms of possession under pressure.

Finally, his ability to cover as a back - is, so-so. Ake, by way of contrast, cuts off almost every cross by his opposing winger. Lewis struggles with this.

Lewis is a talented young player who might well improve. His ability to drift midfield and provide another tempo passer to help us control the ball is invaluable.

I’d like to see him just play as an out and out rb.

He doesn't "drift" there, it's by design, by Pep, he's Pep's ideal fullback.

He wants to be tied up also ... by the fucking neck.

Wonder how he would do in the cancelo role on left
