82 | Rico Lewis - 2024/25

Needs to do so much more in the final third if he's allowed to be in those areas. He's always just looking to pass to someone else. Take a shot, try and beat your man...mix it up! Otherwise there's no point him being in those positions because it leaves us so exposed at the back. There doesn't seem to be any plan to cover the space he leaves when he pushes up the pitch.

I'm not scapegoating him, because he's clearly been told to get into those areas but I think we need to go back to basics and play a flat back 4 to make sure we're more balanced.
 
nowhere near good enough yet to be a consistent first teamer in my opinion. plays too many important games. good on the turn, good with progressive passes, getting forward but he makes too many mistakes for this level. His end product is pretty poor to say he arrives in the box for important final phase roles frequently. He got caught out few times last night which should have been punished. Love the kid and will improve but atm he shouldn’t be starting when players like rodri are out.
 
Going from the best defensive rb in world football to rico Lewis as the rb is a huge downgrade. We need a proper replacement for walker.

If he wasn’t from the academy fans wouldn’t rate him. He is too small to be a cm and lacks any pace/defensive nous to be a rb.

If only Foden was 6ft 6 he'd be half decent...
 
First 6 games this season he was having shots regularly admittedly wild over the bar or wide. But since then he looks as likely as Diaz to score. Still think he's been one of our most consistent players this season
