82 | Rico Lewis - 2023/24

[blumoonrisen]

Starts for England u21 tonight.

 

[blumoonrisen]

Best player on the pitch so far. Live here:

 

[EL APACHE TEVEZ]

Having a blinder for U21’s

 

[IronsideKozuch]

2 assists, should have had 3, but Delap chose to have one over goal;)

 

[IronsideKozuch]

great game for him. Only one reservation concerning Serbia goal;p firstly bad pass and then did not follow up on his runner. Other than that - magnificent positioning and passing

 

[iTyler]

He will be in the England squad for the Euros next summer, of that I'm almost certain.

England were ridiculous tonight. Not just Lewis but Palmer, Madueke, Philogene and Elliot were all outstanding. England made a decent Serbian under 21 side look like the Renford Rejects at times.

There's not a chance in hell Doku is any more talented than Cole Palmer. I think Palmer has a far better all round game.

Agree, except for Doku part. Its far too early to judge. Cole played U21 hear remember. Looked good for Chelsea so far, but dont be so sure who has higher ceiling. Doku has features that are unachievable for Palmer, because of nature: speed, athletysm. Doku just come to City, lets see what his passing and vision will be under Pep and our coaching staff.

 

[Wretched Vengeance]

Next stop - full honours.

A regular for City and England beckons.

But talent wise I don't see one as having considerably more than the other. It's clear they have different strengths to each other, but right now, I've liked what I've seen of Palmer a little more. Even if he isn't our player any longer. But obviously I've seen considerably more of him for City and England than I have of Doku. I think Palmer is someone we should have kept hold of even if it meant loaning him out this season.

Have to say too that Madueke was unplayable at times this evening even if his final ball/shot leaves a lot to be desired still. But his dribbling and ability to beat a man is different gravy. If Chelsea can get him to improve considerably in the final third they'll have one hell of a player, and so will Southgate or the next England manager.
