Can you imagine joining your team's academy at the age of eight, and then your team goes on to be one of the best in the world and you make your debut? The feeling must course through your veins to every part of your body.
 
I don't know why I did this, possibly self torture, I decided to see what we were up to when he was born.

This was the match the day before. 3-1 win over Pompey.




I feel very old now as I was there and remember it well.
I'm going to go cry in the corner now.



Well done Rico though.
 
Might be some big opportunities for Rico with Kyle's operation. I would not be worried about him playing in games against mid or lower table teams. I think Pep will probably choose Stones or maybe Akanji ahead of him if Cancelo is not available at RB though.

One for all you BPP's. (Blue pill poppers).
 
He's not a midfielder, but I don't think Pep played him there because he wants him to be a midfielder.

He wants him to learn many roles like Cancelo who can play all over the pitch. At his current age, Pep is focusing on having him learn on the pitch, rather than just develop at RB linearly.
Thought he had a nice cameo today
 
Previously I've felt that he was a bit tepid and nervy (understandably so, given his age). Today, he looked a bit more confident and more like the player he actually is.
 
Wow what performance i know he was asked to not risk too much but if he gets the freedom he could make real damage , could be a real option next season, hopefully we don’t buy that settle infront of him
 
He's never going to be a midfielder, priority was to rest key players and he gets experience on the pitch wherever it is, win-win.

We won't know what his chances are of making it here until he fills out, he hasn't developed into a man yet, he needs to have a substantial growth spurt and fill out before he can have a top class career. Fantastic experience for him in the meantime whilst we wait for that to happen, doesn't need to do anything flashy at this stage, just needs to be reliable and he hasn't done anything wrong so far.
