82 | Rico Lewis - 2024/25

[moomba]

He was great last night. One dodgy backpack but apart from that really good.

I think you need to take this up with Pep, not Rico.

Well, that was obviously the implication. He's doing what pep wants, presumably, it just has very glaring drawbacks

There was a bloke from Burnley (claimed to be Sunday League referee) who stood near us in the Kippax most games. He had a massive downer on David White. White couldn't do a single thing right in his eyes, even if he played an absolute blinder and scored a hattrick.

Similar to some of the posters on here (other player threads too), who just can't seem to find anything positive to say about a particular player. It's just weird.

Certain City fans have always been like this. I remember years ago, maybe 1983, saying to a blue I knew that Neil McNab had been playing really well , this lad looked at me and stated that he had but he still didn't like him and never would. I remember thinking that that was a very strange .

continues to get caught up the pitch and jogs back slowly as we get countered. unsustainable. either he stays right back and plays right back or he becomes a midfielder.

Surely you have noticed after all this time that our full-backs do not occupy strict, defensive positions.

I kept an eye on the match thread last night and anytime Rico did anything good in the game it seemed to get largely ignored.

I just don't get it.

He's improving every game in his on the ball and attacking abilities. He bring a spark and pace to the team.

Put a great ball in behind the full back last night to Savinho and a similar one on Sunday for Bernardo who should have done better had he been on the same wavelength.

He's great when its a front foot game. Still a little suspect at times defensively but sometimes great (Chelsea game). He's still very young and his performances should be expected to be erratic. I imagine he will be a midfielder as he learns more.

95% our games are front door games. So he is great almost all the time.

 

[Franny 1234]

Rico is currently OK. Mostly tidy on the ball. Doesn't present a big scoring threat; passing isn't spectacular. On defense, gets bullied; mostly gets into position, but then fails, somehow, to stop crosses a lot of the time.

He's young, and may develop.

Right now, he's squad-player level.

Pep doesn't agree with you.

It's always been that way.
Some fans just need a player to criticise and can't see it any other way.
Pep keeps starting him do that's good enough for me. RICO RICO
