Dunno what position that is, but more likely RB.

"source", as in where did you hear/see that he was playing? I hope you're right, by the way.

Thanks for that. Never saw your reference to his family. I imagine they must be thrilled with the way things are going for Rico.

A lot more good than bad.

I think Pep himself is trying to figure out what to do at RB with Walker so out of form.

 

[ninjamonkey]

They targeted in behind him especially on the transition in the first half and he had a hard time dealing with it. Really needs that growth spurt with a summer in the gym to fully develop his adult body.

I thought the opposite TBH. It’s fantastic watching a young local lad get into this side and obviously he will get more leeway than most, but I am yet to see anything from him, in any game that suggests he can defend as a full back. All the positives from him come from moving inside and being comfortable on the ball. Most games (because we dominate) this will be fine, but I fear that in a big game, versus top opposition he will be found wanting. He’s a kid and I hope that Walker pulls his finger out because I don’t believe that Rico is anywhere near ready to be playing every week.

Agreed, a top winger will give him nightmares, more midfield for me than a fullback, at 18 it's seriously impressive how he's done, let's hope he can kick on with his development.

Rough game for him I thought but at 18 that's to be expected and something he'll learn from.
