Going to be quality. Unfair to put him in a midfield with alvarez and expect them to run it.

What do you expect when you throw a kid without the physical strength to match grown men .
Over rated at this level.

Exactly. As soon as johnnny Stones got it he was swamped that wouldn’t happen with a stronger midfield around him.

Said in the pre-match I hope he doesn't throw him in. villa were always going to be physical and aggressive in midfield and prey on him. pep threw him to the lions. He can't play games like that for us in midfield until he grows and fills out.

Isn't tenacious enough off the ball either at the minute to make up for his physical deficiencies. Not blaming him. He cant help being that size was a poor call to play him, had to be kovacic.

Motm performances in the CL and on his England debut.
Pep rates him as one of the best young players he's coached.One below par game and the experts on here think he's not good enough.
Clueless dickheads.

Same can be said for every single players thread mate.
As my wife just said, "Probably time to fuck the cunts off for a while".

 

[madloaf]

He's very good.

Imagine being a randomer on a forum thinking you're a better judge of a player than Pep Guardiola.
Ycmiu.

I rate him much higher than most(apparently) seem to, but there's no denying he looked completely out of his depth tonight. Stones didn't look much better than him tbf...

Does anyone have a plausible explanation as to why he's seemingly trusted centrally more than Phil is...?

I am trying to wear Pep hat. Perhaps pep see Rico more suitable to defend as an no 8 next to Rodri than Phil because Rico is more familiar playing deep...


But I cannot use this to convince myself either.
