82 | Rico Lewis - 2024/25

[sh249]

It‘s a strange role he is playing. He‘s not really ‚inverting‘ into the centre of midfield alongside Kovacic at all. Instead, he‘s shuttling in fairly long and straight lines from right back into the inside right position.
Obviously a great prospect, but fairly ineffectual today.

He was fine.

Im not really sure we found him in the pockets enough tbh, made it seem like he couldnt position himself.

Him and Savio need to work on their connection.

 

[Damanino]

yep, while he covers kind of a huge area we arent really benefiting from it in attacks. he makes himself available close to box few times but Dias, Akanji and Kova usually aint technical enough to pick the right pass in those cases.

its like he is there but not really there. City DNA for sure:)

Typical city supporters Schrödinger's player, totally not good enough and undroppable in the same time.

For his age and stature .... he is a gem of a player and will only get better. Has quick feet and great anticipation.

 

[clarion]

I don’t see him becoming either great right back or proper midfielder.
As soon as the games get serious Kyle will take the place on the right because we need to defend very quick wingers.
The same was last year.
Rico is a decent player for his age and he will be very important player in our 23 man squad in the future. Not every player needs to be world class in the team.

Maybe time to take Rico out of the firing line for a short time. Happens with all young players, loss of form, confidence etc.
He’s looking very leggy and not the player he was when he burst on the scene. He’ll come good again, just needs a bit of a break I reckon.

Micah should be able to give him some advice about what it’s like to burst on the scene.

He's in danger of becoming the new Alexander Arnold. Great with the ball in advanced positions but looks completely lost when he has to defend.

Advanced positions (except when he needs to shoot and score).
