82 | Rico Lewis - 2024/25

Thought he was pretty ok today. Showed for the ball, handled it ok and tried to get stuck in. But aside from one cross field pass he was very limited with his range of passing, passed backwards and very conservatively all night. Didn’t ever break the lines or get us moving. Young lad so time to develop and may become a tidy squad player but I just cannot see how he features prominently in a side wanting to compete at the top end of European football.
 
He always looks busy but does very little

Certainly not a midfielder by any strecth of the imagination

I do wonder where he'll end up playing in his career because he doesn't look like a right back either.

It always seems to me he does his best work in advance positions, making little give and go passes in tight spaces.... but then he doesn't really create anything or score goal when he's higher up the pitch.
 
As much as I’m annoyed by the “lewis must start” noise in the forum, I think he played well today, even including the last 15 minutes.

He is a useful squad player having to play too many games. Again not shit (same with Gvardiol to some degree) by any stretch but again if he was a potential signing we may have to look elsewhere if he was to be a regular.

He's not terrible at getting into space, probably his best attribute, but when he actually gets forward he routinely shits the bed sadly.

I think he's a right back that just needs to be allowed to focus on actually being a right back instead of all the other shite he's clearly not good at
 
Think he's alright. Just being overplayed during a bad spell because there's literally nobody to give him a break.

This is it. He doesn't have the luxury of being protected the way Foden has been. He's in over his head right now and there's nobody to take the workload off him.
