Yes.Agreed. Rico's getting quicker and stronger now and deserves to be tried more often, same with Bobb who has produced basically every time he's played in the last few months. We lose very little when either of them play. I credit Rico for stopping the rot in 22/23, around the time of Cancelo's meltdown, which gave Pep the time to work out that 3-2-4-1 formation that won us the treble.
I understand the reason for the Foden, KDB, Bernardo end to the season but I absolutely think that Oscar and Rico should be a part of that now. Given his head, I think that Oscar would be more productive in the RW position than Bernardo is, but I do also think that is not Bernardo's best position. I think Rico looks increasingly like the box-to-box midfield runner - his intelligence, movement, and dovetailing with Oscar in their few cameos together looked superb.
