82 | Rico Lewis - 2024/25

[bluegaz13]

Man of the match for me….never got a mention from ‘Englands finest full back’

Great stamina 2.

 

[SamTheGuru]

Can the people who said he wasn’t good enough please make themselves known?

Me. I said after his first performance that he will never play for us again.

 

[SamTheGuru]

He will come into his own this season. Was frighteningly good today and also man of the match in charity shield.

 

[MCFCFanTX]

Man of the match. Strong performance by Rico.

 

[Mr HJ]

Possibly one of his best starts - seemed very comfortable and handled them well. Didn't waste possession and was a threat. I would be happy if Rico has a run of games ahead of Walker. Great performance.

 

[Dax777]

Rico is a fullback. Period!

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

Little Lahm.

 

[Chak19]

Was like Cafu out there, everywhere.

 

[oldius]

Got better and better as the game went on. Much better understanding with Phil and Oscar than Jeremy, but that will come, hopefully.

 

[Goater=Legend]

Pep just absolutely gushed over Lewis in the post match.

 

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

Man of the match for me. It’s getting a bit tiring hearing from some posters that he can’t play at right back - what a load of shite.

 

[Crooked_rain]

Great today

Arguably his best for us, not to say he hasn't had great games before but he looked like he had a bit more maturity about him

Could be man of the match, couldn't argue against either him or Kova

 

[Dawsenna]

Should be our starting right back for league games with Kyle walker coming in for more physically challenging games

 

[Don Karleone]

I like Kyle but he has a job on his hands to keep his spot if Rico carries on like today.

 

[SkyBlueFlux]

Was like Cafu out there, everywhere.

Kova might be getting the plaudits (somewhat deserved given he also played very well) but Rico was absolutely phenomenal. We simply don't win that game without him.

His positioning is such an understated quality of his. He's never caught out, always in the right place at the right time. It's not something everybody is going to notice unless you're watching him closely. His touch is superb but his quick thinking is unreal. It's honestly like having Cruyff's brain at right back. Madness how good he is for his age.

 

[1894southstander]

Immense

 

[super_city_si]

Excellent game. Links up play so much better than walker. Works with him there when we have akanji to fill the right third behind him.

 

[jollylescott]

Brilliant performance. He reads a game so well. His football intelligence is off the charts.

 

[mccity]

He's clearly an extremely intelligent player

 

[TheBlueCat]

Rico Lewis is the guy lazy journalists think Mainoo is. No comparison, Lewis is a genuine star, head and shoulders above Mainoo..
