82 | Rico Lewis - 2024/25

[oldhamblue]

Could do a job for Oldham or Rochdale

 

[pbueno16]

He’d probably have a decent career in Spain or Germany

 

[SWP's back]

Given a borderline impossible job and did it well until the end. Terrible mistake, one of three for the winner along with Kova's crazy pass and Eddie's rash decision to come out.

Who was he supposed to bring on? Khusanov? Nunes? Both of whom have cost us goals in recent games?

Yes.

That's unfair. Don't rip the piss.
He's still one of ours. Good, bad or indifferent.

I thought Khusanov was the logical replacement for Akanji.

 

[Goater=Legend]

Didn't think he was that bad tbh, the last bit was terrible agreed but vini jnr didn't have it his own way.

What I do have a problem is this inverted shite that Pep is insisting on.

 

[clarion]

He is actually the level below Angelino who never got the chance to play.

 

[Beanhead]

He will be tough to get rid of ,I honestly don’t see why anyone would want to sign him !

There is always some mugs. Those twats across the way want a hybrid midfield/fallbacks for their janky 3 at the back system. He’s an English international don’t you know Raggies.

And Zincenko. Both of them at least had something about them… aside from coming through the academy.

 

[RayCTID]

The lapeses that is going to cost him long term but again I don't see a problem keeping in the squad next season.

Same, I don't mind Stones going inside or if it was a kimmich level right back but I'd rather much see gvardiol pushed on and khusanov come in to RCB from right back and have Nico sit in front of that back 3

 

[Gaylord du Bois]

He is only 20.
He will grow, gain some strength and become quicker. Be patient. We only need few seasons in Europe league for that

Not seeing it. Love to be proven wrong though.

It's not the lapses , he is simply not good enough

 

[Crooked_rain]

Some teams would take him. A newly promoted team would take him as he's a city player with England caps.

I don't think any teams who are potential contenders would take him.

 

[RayCTID]

He is a decent player to be fair and we still need depth.

 

[City_Sean]

I feel for him, but it was totally wrong to put him in that environment tonight. Whilst Kovacic was dreadful the defending from Rico was so passive and weak and totally summed him up.

 

[YatesA]

Not seeing it. Love to be proven wrong though.

Highly doubt quicker, he won't be doing elite level sprint training and I don't imagine he's got much more quad or explosive muscle building improvement in the legs in him with football the main focus. Most football players who are rapid, are at their peak speed by 20/21.

Depth is no good if it constantly yields mistakes and capitulations that lead to loses. He is a body I guess. But so is everyone.

 

[supercity88]

Got caught in two minds over that horror pass from Kovacic but shouldn't have been put in that position. Defended pretty well up to that point. Criticism is way over the top. Ederson cost us the game tonight. We were already shaky with some loose passing and he gifted them the equaliser and the wheels came off. When it's panic stations I expect players with the experience of Kovacic, Stones,.Dias and Ederson to stand up and not put a 20 year old local lad in the situation he was in.

 

[RayCTID]

Depth is no good if it constantly yields mistakes and capitulations that lead to loses. He is a body I guess. But so is everyone.

For this season he is a good bet for more games as our newer players still need the time to fully adapt. Mostly he has been decent (although not top quality)
