82 | Rico Lewis - 2024/25

[Worsleyweb]

How have you come to this opinion then?

He's been one of our best performers by a country mile.

By watching him - would ge get anywhere near one of our peak sides? No

Luckily apart from being fast, he steals a living purporting to be a footballer.

A fucking carthorse of a player .

Apart from scoring two against us for Wolves a few seasons ago.

We will get a few quid for him next summer.

I seriously hope this is tongue in cheek.

You do realise he's only 19 years of age?

To be playing like he is at only 19 is a testament to how good of a player he is.

 

[mexico1970]

Is this the first game you've watched all season?

It wasn't his best day in the office, but he's been fantastic for us all season.

Fantastic is overegging it a bit, he has been competently bland at best.

I guarentee you that the same fans (including yourself) that are criticising a 19 year old Rico Lewis for not having his best game were the exact same fans that criticised Cole Palmer when he played for City.

It's so obvious.

Certain players aren't allowed bad games. Particularly some of our academy players.

Got skinned once in the first half and the dickheads are out in force. Walker has been at fault for numerous goals this season. Rico, none. Keep him at right back until Ake is fit then perhaps but Stones or Akanji out there depending on the opponent.

If/when Pep goes, does Rico get regular game time for a new manager? I know there’s a thought that if you can play for Pep, you can play for anyone. It might be true but I also think that Peps genius protects players somewhat. I do wonder if a new manager will look at him and think he’s not a good enough defender to play RB and he’s too meh to play in the middle.

 

[skillman]

Love him. Adore the fucker.

But the sooner he’s not a full back, the better. There’s a gap to put him in midfield with Rodri and KDB out/needing more rest. He gets targeted aerially and also physically and he can’t win either of those unfortunately.

But his energy, confidence and ability on the ball will be fantastic in midfield. Hence Pep changing it quickly by bringing Stones on and pushing Walker to right back and Lewis higher up.
