82 | Rico Lewis - 2024/25

[WallyA]

He has been played in too many roles, and clearly overplayed.

He has played as an inverted RB next to the DM.

He has played as an inverted RB who pushes up in the right half space as an 8/10.

He has played as an 8, who sits back, or as an 8 who pushes higher in the final 3rd.

Ultimately, he is that kind of swiss army knife player that Pep likes, but he now needs to be molded into something very specific, whichever of those Pep picks for him, and let him just get good at it.

It's all good experience.

Just a shame we didn't have the personnel to drop him sooner when he and the team hit bad form.

It is.

I dont think he needs to be doing it anymore now.

 

[clarion]

The fact he came on for KDB and McAtee stayed on the bench until 90th min shows how Peps overthinking fart works.

Rico Lewis?
Yes.
As a young prospect for right back.

 

[merz]

Lahm didn't play for Bayern until he was about two years older than Lewis... On that basis I'd suggest his trajectory isn't bad.

dunno why people still compare the two. they are nothing alike. I saw lahm at stuttgart and later at bayern. you always knew he would be a star.
lewis will never reach those levels.

He only turned 20 a couple weeks ago. Idiots on here writing him off as not good enough. He’s 10x better than Zinchenko was at fullback.

He’s quite clearly got a lot of talent, he just needs time to mature.

All this experience he’s getting is amazing. He’s bound to be a very good player for us. He’s only playing so much out of necessity at the moment. We have nobody else.

Not many will ever reach Lahm’s standards, but that doesn’t mean Rico can’t be a top class City & England player

He’s a baby & none of us know how good he’ll eventually turn out, but I’d wager that he’ll have a long & successful career, hopefully with us

10x better.. huh

We won 2-3 pl titles (especially 18/19) when Zinchenko played that inverted fullback role and was sold to arsenal for 35m

How much will anyone pay for Rico ?

The comments about him are embarrassing.

A 20 yr old who plays for one of the worlds best clubs and also represents his country, yet some on here think he's crap, FFS.

Chelsea will probably pay £45m we'd all celebrate it as a good fee and then he'd be worth £100m within a year ;)
