Yes He needs to be treated with respect to his ability but also his medical history. Enzo managed him respectfully to the extent that he played 39 league games last season, more than in any other season for us. Cooper did the exact opposite, ignored him, gave him no opportunity to get match fit in pre season and nor at the start of the season and that resulted in a bad strain (hamstring) injury when Cooper suddenly decided he needed him v Ipswich away. 

This is why we used to have reserve football, to keep players match fit.

 

Easier to pick him consistently in a lower league, and easier for him to not get injured against easier opponents, as he can get away with pushing himself less.

I like Ricardo, but I also respect its a brutal business, and not a chance to praise my fav manager and bash others.

Cooper mismanaged Ricardo, that’s a fact.

Its an opinion. I am not saying he didnt, for me I am on the fence as I dont have enough inside knowledge to form a strong opinion on it, but your opinion, is that, no expert has come and out and said we audited the management of Ricardo and have determined he was mismanaged,

He was our best right back. Cooper did not play him when he was fit. Finally he realised at Ipswich and then threw him into a full game after not giving him game time from preseason onwards. Not playing your best full back alone is mismanaging talent, never mind the injury part.

There was a ball today I just didn’t expect him to get to.

Well he was probably tired from the football match. I'm sure he'd have gone otherwise.

Pretty lucky he wasn't sent off but great to see that celebration again

 

Hopefully he is getting back close to a level of fitness where he can start games

Wasn't actually very good before the goal but looked purely like rustiness. Took the goal really well.

 

Re the red card, I actually don't think that he was that lucky. Gets the ball and I don't think you'd deemed that excessive force either

I think with how officiating is reviewed these days it would have definitely got upgraded with VAR. 

 

Feet off the floor, over the ball and high on the foot/ankle.

Best player at the club. Probably best in the league. It will be criminal if he starts on the bench again against Cov.

As always he makes such a difference. Less stupid passes around the back for the sake of it and more attacking involvement high up the pitch.

 

The wingers have no chance when they have to drop deep because the ball is played poorly around the Skippmare void.
