Ricardo Pereira

[moseeds]

He's struggled like everyone but some of the comments are well below the belt. He's always done as well as he could when asked to play considering his significant injury problems over the years. Us going down is not on him by any stretch.

RIP your mentions.  

[inckley fox]

I heard the interview, and just learned that I can add his character deficits to the huge list of others' which were key to our downfall.

 

He was utterly unaware of the gravity of the situation, of the role of a captain at a time like this, and of the need for him - as a spokesperson for those responsible - to hold his hands up and clearly, sincerely assume that responsibility.

 

It's this obliviousness and detachment from reality which has characterised our decline. So yes, he gave us a nice season-and-a-half before injury decimated his career, and was very decent when we first came back up, but over the course of his eight year stay (bearing in mind he missed the FA Cup) he'll be remembered as much for the three relegations and captaining the worst ever City side as he will for being a worthy successor to Danny Simpson. And, based on that interview, he probably doesn't deserve a great deal more than that.

Can someone link his interview pls

[OntarioFox]

Sadly sums up the last ten years of LCFC - a "nice guy" who has somehow stuck around long enough to be expected to lead a group of absolute charlatans into battle.

 

I think that's his legacy well and truly tarnished - sorry Ricky, I used to love you, but the last four years have finished that. You're not "FA Cup Winner" Ricardo, you're "Relegated to League One as club captain" Ricardo. Piss off with the rest of them.

you got to be on a wind up, has been confortable our worst defender this season all our opponents target our right side because he is a liability and we concede most of our goals down his side.

 

Should have been dropped from matchday squad before Xmas but both our cowardly managers this season were too weak to do it.

[EastAnglianFox]

I said he’d be a cheat code at this level at the start of the season 

[RoboFox]

A legend of the club and a super nice guy but I wish he'd have gone two seasons ago. 

 

Injuries have completely taken their toll and it's a shame he's a part of this catastrophe.

 

BUT he is as responsible as any of the players and it tarnishes his legacy here somewhat.

Been kept around way too long. 

[HankMarvin]

Too many “nice guys” maybe if we had a few more bastards the levels would not been allowed to drop to this.

How did Ricardo get them in line?, By banning them from a game of Uno on the coach?

He stayed beyond his use-by date unfortunately.  Can't blame him for that though.

[Ian Nacho]

Zero accountability. Not a leader.

Think he stayed as no one wanted him, in 2020 he was one of most wanted right backs in europe....now he'd be lucky to find a championship club.

[Ian Nacho]

That interview was a shocker. 

[Arkie Bennett]

Whatever the opposite of "icing on the cake" is in this situation, that interview was it. He managed to say plenty of words yet nothing of meaning or significance. I don't expect Shakespeare or Churchill, but he must have known he would be expected to say something commensurate with being the leader and should have had at least something prepared. Great player before his injury, but nowhere near captaincy material. Another example of the problems that beset the club.

Probably would of been in the past when he werent finished. He hasnt had the legs to be a full back in atleast 3 years

[Lesta Legend]

The fact Louis page (& Hamza) came out and faced the fans says it all. 
 

We have no real leaders and a a teenager fronts up. 
 

Page and our youngsters should be who we now build a team around.

The trouble is, our players are bastards off the field and nice guys on it, when you need nice guys off the field and bastards on it

[Jaspa]

Great player, great professional, decent bloke. Legs seem to have gone, not sure he's a proper leader. 

 

In his pomp he was genuinely world class. We just need to move on from all of this now and draw a line under it.

[em9999]

The way hes just been verbally abused im sure he won't wanna come back

He won't come back. His contract expires in June.

[Mickyblueeyes]

Ah, nice guy Ricardo didn’t talk to the fans - he’s a shit man - worst captain ever. Paddy McCarthy ranks higher

[Lesta2014]

Signing autographs and running off 

[coolhandfox]

I heard hes still trying to find the left winger who skinned him an hour after full time.

 

A terrible season performance wise to finish his lcfc career.

 

Shame as in 2019/20 he was genuinely in the conversation to be one of the best RB in the PL before being broken.
