82 | Rico Lewis - 2024/25

Would like to see him hit more long range passes sometimes and change it up a bit

Hes literally the same height as Phil

Edit

And some player called Messi

Yes I understand, but he lacks composure with the ball - Messi and Phil have..

His first touch is unconvincing and always plays on my nerves..

You are never sure he looses it or keeps it or what the fuck is he going to do...

Add to this him being a liability as a RB...

Compared to him, Zinchenko played like Paolo Maldini...
Same age BTW, in 17/18 Zinchenko was 19-20 years old and played waaaaay better.

Complete waste of time. Get him the hell out FFS.

And yet Pep raves about his ability and trusts him.

I suppose someone should tell Pep that some shitkicker from an Internet forum has a bit of advice for him on coaching.

I think if we had options he'd be pulled from the lineup for a spell, played a lot of football for a young lad so a dip is natural and expected. pep is known for taking kids out when necessary to refocus them, did it with phil a lot, as soon as walker is back I suspect we'll see that and give him a chance for him to rest, renergise and find that extra bit of sharpness and determination whilst still contributing regularly from the bench.

Lot of defensive basics still for him to grasp, he's got to get smarter with his positioning quickly.

He’s not a right back. He’s utterly horrific against teams with a bit of quality that break with pace.

Either play him in midfield or not at all.

Pep was playing Mendy for 5 years until the British police helped us and jailed that piece of shit :D

So sometimes even Pep is wrong..

That i agree with

He's a very good young player, just not a right back

If fit, I'd start playing Akanji at right back if it's between him or Rico. Akanji is deceptively quick and can do a job there.

I think he’s got a very good right back in him. But at his age if he’s at right back, just let him play right back and ask Stones to revert to his roll.
He looks poor defensively because he’s not set in position. Just my opinion.

 

[Brewster's millions]

He’s not a right back, and he’s much, much better in midfield.

But some of the positions he’s being asked to take up while he’s playing right back aren’t making it any easier for him when he has to do some defending.
