It's Quiet 18 - Wanna ring the bell?

I think Rico needs his body to catch up with his brain. He’s ready to play tactically, but he needs more physicality, hence he plays the lesser games at the moment.

I think maybe Pep is treating him like he did with Phil, just dropping him in and out over time and not putting too much pressure on him.

Maybe, the new CL format doesnt allow for alot of leeway on dead rubbers though. Gonna be interesting juggle for Pep,

Good point. We've also benefited from rather benign group draws in the last couple of seasons, and there can be no guarantee that will continue.

He's 20 this season, we expecting him to get much more physicality?

!19 this 20 next.

Let Walker go to Saudi, give RB to Kimmich & Rico (in an unlikely and harsh scenario)

If Walker goes anywhere we would surely buy a full back.

Nah, pep loves his square pegs in round holes defence. Kimmich/Rico would be fine.

!9 this 20 next.

No way Rico is 362,880. Doesn’t look a day over 200,000.

Apologies for the two quick responses but a statshead like me couldn’t resist this typo…

I was just looking at the groups again the other day and thinking we'd been quite lucky of late. Nothing to worry you Senator McCarthy. ;-)
