82 | Rico Lewis - 2022/23 Performances

No. Not today.

 

[Bluewonder]

Why is he playing in midfield?
Am I missing something?

 

[jaiguruKun]

Feel sorry for him there. Worked so hard, can't help thinking that keeping him at rb and Ake at lb where they've both been playing well and playing walker CB made more sense.

How about playing either of the top class international CBs we have at CB?!

What a load of shite, he played ahead of Cancelo on merit

A team player wouldn't have thrown his toys out of the pram after a month of being out of favour. Pep was 100% in the right to let him leave

He played ahead of Cancelo a RB mate not LB, this was the first time ever he's played there for us, go ahead and explain to me why then especially considering Ake's performance against Arsenal last week ?

Obviously, I'm assuming and hoping thats down to fitness.

 

[RayCTID]

Still a raw kid finding his feet playing in a different position.

Moving Ake and Lewis to accommodate Walker was just madness. He fucks about with the defence was too much.

He's played well enough when selected that Pep thinks he can do the same job on either side

 

[01cravend]

He's a tryer and loves to get stuck in.. Not sure he has the qualities to play centrally for us though. Then when he has to get back to fullback to defend he's not got the pace to recover. Kulusevski had about half a pitch to himself. Lucky Jack put a serious shift in or it would have been more costly.

Let him play fullback, get forward and contribute some width and be a good outball to stretch play. Inverted who isn't creative is a waste of time.

Yeah let's play a kid who never played in that position before instead of the guy who played brilliantly there against Arsenal just last week, oh and why not do it at a place where we always lose as well.
