Ricardo Pereira

[StriderHiryu]

I'm truly trying to maximise the attention I get for posting this one, but Ricardo's pass in this move would make James Maddison proud:

 

[Raj]

I get it.

I questioned if he wasn't being utilised to his potential like he was on the wing bombing up and down and whacking in some great crosses like he used to.

Just like our dripping water torture style of play😁 @StriderHiryu has tortured me into realising how RP is  now being used without the threat of him getting his many injuries.

 

I will whip myself will olive branches until I'm a seeping mess of blood.

 

I'll try and stay awake for the next home games first half when we torture the next unworthy team to be punished and analyse  what the fecka going on😁😁👍

I was surprised when he stayed this summer, but he's been exceptional so far. 

We just need him to stay fit 

[Swarles Barkley]

Bumping to get ricky the love he deserves. 
 

Has taken to his new role perfectly and a good game today capped off with a lovely cross for the third

He was really good against Rotherham, surprised there hasnt been much activity on this thread. He was even better before his injuries but that is more of a testament to how incredible he used to be as he's still one of our best players.

He's become a bit of an unsung hero.

[Torten]

One of my favourite people let alone footballers, wish him nothing but love for the rest of his life

[ajthefox]

I really like that he's Captain, too.

 

He could be playing CL football somewhere else if things had gone well for him, but he's still here bossing it in a new role and being a model pro. 

 

What a bloke.

Bottled a few challenges last night and didnt do anywhere near enough for their goal with half arsed closing down. Always been a fan but was poor last night i thought

Was probably worried about picking up a 2nd yellow and putting us under undue pressure for the final section of the game 

[mohammedsaqib]

I think the yellow made a big difference in his intensity in the challenge in the second half. But it was his movement forward that dragged the attention of the defender for Daka to turn for our first goal.

Yeah, looked like experienced game management to me. 

The only issue is if those around you don't have the same awareness then there wont be someone backing you up!

Bottled a few before his yellow aswell tbf

[Tielemans63]

Started 24 of 26 games this season. How brilliant is it to see this guy fit and healthy? 

 

Far too good for this league 

[Hales]

Captain Ricky! Love the guy, quietly but resolutely puts a shift in every game.  So pleased he scored today and, as someone has said above, how brilliant to see him fit and healthy.

 

Go on Ricky P 💙

[Trav Le Bleu]

Such a great player. Definitely my favourite player of the last few seasons.

[SecretPro]

One of our best players, one of the nicest guys. If you look up 'classy' in the dictionary it's just a picture of him. 

[crisp packet]

Probably the best player in the championship. Class.

[RowlattsFox]

Favourite player in the squad, mentioned it in the match thread but feel his role as been under appreciated this season. 

[Tuna]

Love him. He's been through everything here with his injury problems, but it is so exciting to see him leading the team and playing week in, week out, in a new role.

[Ric Flair]

Should have had a hattrick today 

[foxile5]

Missed a hat trick today. Even so - solid performance.

[Marshall Cockney Fox]

Played well. Despite missing two absolute sitters. One with the head and the other scooped over the bar. A Ricky P trick went begging 😡

[Mark 'expert' Lawrenson]

Ricky P what a truly great professional 🦊 

[Noahfence]

He is phenomenal. Along with Ndidi he should probably have about 5 more goals than he does.
