Some of the comments are a bit harsh on Rico and I include myself as I’ve been quick to criticise at times.
To be honest the issue is not Rico-Lewis it’s the performances of the players around him.
He is a decent enough player, no worse than Delph in the centurions season or Zinchenko (for a number of years) who played in the full back hybrid role.
Unfortunately instead of a 20 year old academy player, strengthening the squad, filling the gaps when players are injured were expecting him to be part of the solution to losing our Balon D’or winner in a side where most of the senior professionals have lost their form and energy levels.
The lad should not be expected to be the conductor of the orchestra, but playing the triangle in the background.
