82 | Rico Lewis - 2024/25

[Akira]

Wasn't a big fan of him on the left but thought he came on and did well.

 

[The Fat el Hombre]

Gave us some much needed fight and spirit, should have been on along with Doku a lot earlier

 

[red 2 hats]

Never want to see him a full back again, thought he was great when he came on in midfield, gave us much needed energy and drive.

 

[oldius]

Great cameo, shame it came too late.

I’d have preferred him as opposed to Walker today

 

[Blue Bogey]

I haven’t a clue what position he is meant to be playing when he plays. He seems to have a free role to play where he wants to. Maybe Pep tells him to play where he feels in the moment.

Do his team mates know where to find him?

I would like one of the journos in a conference to ask Pep about Rico’s tactical role. Is it some hybrid position yet to be defined?

 

[Tugay One Cup]

We struggle to maintain pressure on teams when he's not playing.

 

[M16 citeh]

Love this kid. Bags of talent, a true warrior, manc and a blue! What more could you ask for

 

[shemnel]

Missed him in midfield, looked better when he came on.

 

[bluealf]

I think he is a fantastic player, I have read plenty of posts on here that don't seem to rate him.

"he's not a RB, he's not a midfielder etc"

The fact he can play the Pep inverted RB/Midfield role at his young age is testament to how good a player he is and only likely to get better as time goes on.

It also looks like we will have a few more homegrown talents to enjoy soon enough, I can't wait.

I've dreamed of the day we could field a team better than the rag cunts class of 92.

 

[BigOscar]

Honestly think he's the new Zinchenko tbh. Neat, tidy, good at pressing, but just doesn't have a position where you'd want to play him. Too slow and weak at fullback and poor in behind, not creative enough to play in midfield. Just don't seem to have an obvious position imo, which us a shame as he's a good player, but just not one I'd want to play anywhere

 

[citytill1die84]

He's absolutely shite, what's the point of him? Can't defend, can't pass, doesn't know when to shoot.

 

[Txiki Txiki Bang Bang]

He's absolutely shite, what's the point of him? Can't defend, can't pass, doesn't know when to shoot.

Wtf is this?

 

[King Jay]

Can’t do anything. Never understood the hype. Don’t see anything special and it has nothing to do with this game it’s been like that forever for me.

 

[citytill1die84]

Wtf is this?

It's true. Tell me what he does?

 

[Draikin]

Nice to have him around world class players when everything's going well but doesn't really bring anything

 

[red 2 hats]

Wtf is this?

The truth

 

[Blu1]

Good around class players but is he world class ? Good squad player but I’m not sure he’s ready to be the main man

 

[Trojan1962]

He’s a very good sideways and back passer. Pep loves him so he will play most of the time

 

[Mr HJ]

The fact that he is in the team so much is a sign of where our squad is.

We should be better than having players who can run around a lot and constantly play easy passes. Tonight when we needed to become more dynamic he continued to try a lot but created very little.

It's not all on Rico as a few of our players need to look at themselves after a really bad performance. For me he has a ways to go before he should be a regular first teamer.
