82 | Rico Lewis - 2024/25

[Pelegrinni]

It seems some fans just like to call out Rico Lewis regardless of how he performs.
For some, they are upset because Lewis is getting game time while Jamie Mcateer is not. So, they criticize Lewis every time just out of frustration.
Other fans chose to ignore the biggest culprit in our defense who is Gvardiol, Stones and Walker.
Gvardiol has been gifting goals to the opposition. But fans are blinded by bias and chose to mention Lewis instead.
They question what Lewis brings to the team. It appears like they know more than the manager.
Meanwhile, these same fans are often silent when their favourite player has a terrible game. Or sometimes, they make excuses on behalf of the said player.

Anyone who watches the team objectively will see what Lewis brings. If the club sells him and he goes and shines in another club, these same fans will criticize the club again.

If you cannot support the team when they are going through a bad patch, then don't support them when they bounce back.

Lewis is 20 years old and has played 50 competitive games for City before this season. He has also played for England.
You make it sound like he's a 17-year-old who just made his debut.

He's still a kid.

And hasn't deserved the abuse and scapegoating that he's received.

Thanks Marilyn.

It’s very harsh. He’s been taught a certain way to play all his life and that system isn’t working now but I still think he’s a decent player. He just looks bad because of the form of the whole team but people don’t want to point fingers at the legends we have, understandably.

You haven’t visited other players’ performance threads?

We will beat Utd, you heard it here first. Just like we beat Forrest. Play 4 CBs instead and we will win. There is a reason why that was the one game we won. It was the only game in weeks/months where Rico was benched.

It’s piss easy being a manager, innit?

I rarely do tbh.

I rate him highly but he lacks the physicality to play in midfield when Rodri isn’t playing and I don’t see him as a right back. He’s started far too many games simply because of injuries and a distinct lack of squad depth.

Is being 20 the right age for being slagged off then ?

Think I'm getting the same amount of minutes as our well known academy product Jamie Mcateer, what position does he play.
