82 | Rico Lewis - 2024/25

[Gordyola]

First city attack, gets to the bye line...side netting... poor

He did well to get to the ball that was over hit, didn't have time to adjust his body position to get the cross in

I was right behind him, he definitely had time to get it and deliver a cross, he just fucked up.

Thought he was better than previous weeks. Still think he shouldn't be in the back line but for the most part held his own.

I thought the lad had a decent game yesterday, credit where credit is due.

Why does pep? Who knows more about a player, football than any of us! why does he pick him continually?

Technically Pep has no choice but to play him.

Everyone being fit, Ricos minutes would be drastically less, and they should be, I dont think he even expected to play this much already.

His future for us is the nice ultimate utility player.

Go slot in as RB, LB, as an 8, wherever we need him to. While id still personally like to see him stick to and learn 1 role.

Go play RB, cover CM and DM, then at 70minutes, do the same but from LB

cheers kid. Must be a nightmare mentally.

Baller!

I like him. Needs to bulk up a bit to compensate for his lack of height, but that will come with age like it did with Foden (and Palmer, just not at City). Also needs a run out of the side once we've got a couple of new faces in - him and Gvardiol together. But he's not far off 100 appearances for City and I'd like to see what his next 100 are like.

 

[clarion]

I find it too early for him to be the 1st 11 player. He can play but the team suffers and lacks strength.

 

[chiswick blue]

He's 20 years old and although at times his positioning is suspect this will improve with experience as will his strength. I'm not sure he'll even make it as a full back in a Pep team due to lack of pace but there is a lot to be said for his courage and close control that leads me to think he could be a useful midfield player but he's just not ready yet for week in week out first team appearances
