82 | Rico Lewis - 2024/25

[MichaelFrontzeck'sBathroom]

Potential for what? Genuinely asking.

What kind of player do you think he will be?

I’d hoped he could make the grade here and of course it’s still too early to say on whether he will or not, being a homegrown lad we keep him as a rotational option. But he just isn’t good enough far better suited to the championship imo

 

[Craig]

Nothing going for him? Why is pep picking him then

Remember Eric Garcia?

 

[Northmanc68]

In a number of games he’s played well and shown lots of potential. Bore off with the never ending criticism.

He’s been inconsistent as most 20 year olds are. But then again the multi million kind players we have, have also been average

He hasn’t been inconsistent , he’s been consistently bad , absolutely bang average at best

 

[toffee balls]

If he played for Southampton, it would still be above his ability.

I don’t like doing this but i have to call what I see .

He will never convince me at this level, never.

 

[thyer64]

People thrash on Nunes for being poor, which let’s be honest he isn’t setting world alight albeit in a different position…

… but he’s doing an ok effort compared to the stink Lewis is putting out. Awful

 

[Paulmcfc2703]

He’s also dropped De Bruyne for a number of games this season. He’s out of form in my opinion, hence why he’s not been starting, but I’m not writing off a 20 year old, who has shown potential

That's twice you've tried to compare him to De Bruyne. Not sure I can take a 3rd time.

 

[DMA's]

He's a Sunderland level player.

To be fair they are near top of championship. More a Plymouth level

 

[BlueMoonRisin’]

He hasn’t been inconsistent , he’s been consistently bad , absolutely bang average at best

Instead of progressing I think he's regressing. Running around in headless chicken mode too much too often.

 

[Kinkladze 1]

Not sure what gives people the impression he’s anywhere near good enough for us.

 

[AliAdel]

If he played for Southampton, it would still be above his ability.

I don’t like doing this but i have to call what I see
He will never convince me at this level, never.

I’d take kyle walker peters over him any day of the week.

At least nunes is fast and has some strength

Watching Lewis play is like watching a dad play with their toddler in the garden

 

[skillman]

Hmmmmmmmm

 

[jrb]

I’m going to be kind. He needs a long rest.

 

[ProofMCFC]

I’m going to be kind. He needs a long rest.

Yeah, a fucking unpaid one

 

[sarcastico]

Bore off you prick

Let me guess, you’ve been a City “fan” for about two years?

Do you think otherwise?

Then you lack the ability to discern.

No one is impressed with your internet-tough guy insults.

 

[lefty goldblatt]

As I posted on the post match thread



Lewis is out of his depth in a puddle.
Not big enough
Not strong enough
Not good enough

If he was wearing a rags shirt, we'd be HOWLING WITH LAUGHTER at him, on the rag thread.

 

[dubblue]

Puts in the effort but honestly he’s a championship player.

 

[OrigamiNinja]

It’s not and he won’t.

 

[Crooked_rain]

Never like to criticise one of our own and he had done well at times in the past for a young lad but there's no progression from him. Not sure what he offers. Doesn't do anything particularly well.

If we did sell him, it wouldn't be a Cole Palmer situation where you've sold quality and it quickly becomes evident

If he ever leaves us, he won't sustain a career at title winning level.

 

[Otamendi's Beard]

He's lost all the bite and endeavour this season. When he first started playing he was sharp and decisive.

Where's that gone?
