82 | Rico Lewis - 2024/25

[GaudinoMotors]

Everton, Leicester, Ipswich, Wolves level, but seems to be a first choice for us - even without the injuries to others. Shoehorned in.
Says it all in terms of our squad depth and recruitment.

We throw Cancelo away because of this kid. Now we don’t use Nico or James because of him.

Totally out of his depth in midfield yesterday. Didn’t seem to have any clear role and was outmuscled, outthought and outplayed. Not sure why he is being shoehorned into the team, especially when there are specialist midfielders on the bench not being given an opportunity

I like Rico, but to me he'll always be a squad player and not a full time starter. He's a tweener. He's not a defender, but I don't think he's a full time midfielder either. A decent player without a position.

Just let him rest, why is Pep playing him into the ground?

Give O Reilly, or McAtee some of those minutes.

Fuck Cancelo he was a proper twat. Anyway we went on to win the treble after he left.

Always used to look at other teams players and think would they get in our team and 9/10 times they wouldn’t. Would Rico get into current Arsenal , Lpool, Chelsea, even Villa or Spuds?

He looks like he’s going to end up a low PL to high Championship level player. That’s really good, very high level, and another notch for our academy that City and Lewis himself should end up being very proud of for him to have a career at that level. Not many people in this world play football to that level.

But he’s not a player for the level that our team wants to be at.

He needs taking out of the firing line though because this will be doing him no good at all, he looks hopeless and like he doesn’t know what he’s doing week-after-week. He’ll end up being a good player, he’s certainly not one yet, but it’ll take him longer to get there if his confidence is shot from playing too much through terrible performances like he is now.

Nunes should be playing. I’ll take this to his thread…

I didnt say him because he actually has played some minutes, but add him to the list as well.
