very young and learning each game. he will have to play through all these mistakes. same as all top rightbacks when they were at similar age. not his fault our squad planning was absymal and we have Walker who is now a total wreck in his personal life also bit past his best as alternative.

He's still only 19?! Genuinely feels like he's been in the squad forever.Yes go on. Lets start blaming a 19 year old academy kid of our own. That will help. Not defending a poor performance on the night by the player, but the comments I read on here and which are based on tonight's result is absolutely out of order. Get a fck grip.
Rico will come good. 100 percent he will.

He needs dropping. We can't afford to carry anyone at the moment

He keeps getting labelled a RB, whether that is by us fans or by media showing him in the lineup as RB. From the positions he takes up in matches there is no way you could call him a RB, asking any RB from any great sides even those who played as RWB would not recognise Rico as a RB.
He can’t be judged as a RB of any type, but it would be helpful if Pep could explain exactly what position he has asked Rico to play. When Walker plays he doesn’t take up those positions remotely at all.
We have to assume Rico is following the plan asked of him by Pep as Pep continues to play him and this unusual role in the team. Effectively leaving 3 defenders one of whom Gvardiol who for the vast majority of his time here has been playing LB. Leaves us totally exposed.

You want look a mug in 18 months time mate.....Pep clearly loves him.. whilst I am far from convinced. Pep knows about a million times what I know about football so I’ll leave it to his good judgement, but for me his lack of strength and athleticism is apparent and every time the ball falls to him in the business end of the field it breaks down, so I’m struggling to see what Pep is seeing.
Bet I look like a right mug in 18 months time and hope that I do!
Rico won't be here then.

Rico has a brilliant football mind.
He sees the pass, he makes the right runs.
But unfortunately he isn’t good enough with all the other attributes he needs.
Once Pep goes he won’t be a regular for us.

Think he has that in abundance.Doesn’t have the athleticism to play the role he’s undertaking.
It's the "vision" that's lacking.
