82 | Rico Lewis - 2024/25

[balotelli's back pocket]

How is he a midfielder?

Traits of a midfielder are ball playing and being able to get around the pitch, or be able to control the midfield with passing ability

Then an ability to help defend and to score or create goals

Lewis does none of the above, and has been upgraded because he came through the academy

He's an absolutely average footballer who excels at nothing

Absolute bollocks.

Reminds me of a young Jordi Alba, tenancious, ready to battle but...weak

He is nothing like Jordi Alba.. Jordi Alba was rapid, absolute lightening. Lewis is as slow as he is weak which is very.

Reminds me of Scrappy Doo
Means well, but gets in the way.
Time for a rest

You knew Alba when he was in his early to mid 20's. Rico is still a kid developing, if you watch closely there's a lot of similarities to Alba

Plays virtually every game - often in a different position than the previous game. 100% trier no doubt but as with all of our team, looked good for the first 35 but, when they put us under pressure second half, his limitations were exposed.

No, I remember the first time I saw Alba play and couldn’t get over how quick he was. One of Ricos biggest issues is his lack of pace.

It must be only me then who considers Rico to be an outstanding prospect.

Nope.. you and Pep it seems.

 

[Goater=Legend]

I have one issue with him. He gets into good positions to receive the ball in space, but I'd like to see him be more positive on the ball, he keeps it safe a lot of them.

Be a bit faster if he got his hair cut
