82 | Rico Lewis - 2024/25

[WallyA]

Feel like I should just copy and paste my same comment after every game.

He needs cutting some slack. He’s a kid still learning. He should be under someone’s wing and being introduced to the first team slowly, like Foden was at his age.

Instead he’s playing every game in a team full of checked out lazy FOCs and players that just aren’t good enough.

Rico has bags of potential and this current situation isn’t his fault.

Call the older players as many names as you want but I’m not having people bullying a fucking kid.

He is one of them who went from last year being a good squad/back up player, to all of a sudden playing every game and its too much.

I agree with some of the criticism of him nonetheless... up to a point.

I dont think he should ever be a starting position player for us, but he is great to fill the squad up as he can play multiple positions.

Personally, RB will just never work for him, he has no height and no pace to track back after inverting, Pep needs to see this.

Id mold him to be a backup 8 and see how he progresses in the team learning that role (for which he still needs to improve loads).
