On the bench it looks like.When he was fit, I thought he was a super player. If we can get him back somewhere near those levels, the question is, where does he fit in Maresca's system?
Drop Ndid and play Ricardo on the right side of the midfield with JJ playing where Ricardo was.When he was fit, I thought he was a super player. If we can get him back somewhere near those levels, the question is, where does he fit in Maresca's system?
It was 4 years. It's an old thread.I don't think 3 years could be described as long term

Thanks Jeff. Didn't know whether to start a new thread.I've now split it from the old thread, because more than one person has thought it was new.
No, leave Ricardo where he is. The new role he has suits him and will be good for him as he doesn’t have to do as much running as when he’s playing out wide. And playing further forward doesn’t get the best out of him.Drop Ndid and play Ricardo on the right side of the midfield with JJ playing where Ricardo was.
He was exceptional at LB in our 5th place season and I'm sure we would have got 4th had it not been for his injury.
I’m glad he didn’t say he considers himself a left-back. Cos’ that would be used as a stick to beat any manager who ever played him in a different position.It's interesting that in the article linked above your post, he states that his favourite position is at left back. Considering he's predominantly right footed I've always thought he looked better there than at right back.
You think Ricardo will last a month……He’ll be a straight swap for Ricardo when he breaks down/gets injured
Will be playing every week by the end of September
As well as optimism that JJ will stay fit enough to replace him.You think Ricardo will last a month……
That‘s optimism, right there.
Yeah, there is that.As well as optimism that JJ will stay fit enough to replace him.
He's off again....As well as optimism he won’t replace him with Daka at right back.
He's tiresome. Just stop responding to him. Put him on ignore like I did. Life's too short, mate.He's off again....
