Probably Ricardo's performances this season and last rather than anything Aluko has actually done himself.

RB who can play LB

 

Basically just an emergency CB

Now is the time to give him his chance at full back

Exactly ….like most of the youngsters I remain far from convinced they should be anywhere near the first 11 - Nelson is the only one I would play as he is clearly ready however Aluko like Evans, Braybrooke, Monga, Page would be far better off having had loans in league 1 or 2 .

 

we may need to be radical and play Skipp at right back as Ricky is really struggling ……absence always seems to make our non playing players into something they are not…….

A few competent cameos... and a seasons worth of regularly poor performances from Riccy P?

He hasn’t been tainted by coaching from cooper, Ruud and Marti

sorry but are you having a laugh or trolling?

Aluko showed last week hes more than able to make the step up, Page did reasonably well all things considered against Oxford and Charlton, 

 

yet you think playing players out of position or the same ones(and senior ones at that) who keep massively under performing is wise

Clearly never watched him for a long while, One of the Strongest/Physical players if not the strongest/Physical guy we have in the Squad. Got a lil Wes fofana profile about him to me 

[Rubbersoul]

He should be starting RB every single game for the rest of the season now. 
 

Will it suddenly make us an amazing side? No. But Ricardo bless him looks done. I don’t see the point in continuing with him. 
 

Of course Aluko isn’t the messiah but **** me at least he gives a crap and works hard. 

[lcfc_forever]

Has to start at RB. 
 

Ricardo’s best performances came when he was an impact sub, that’s his best role now. 

[katieakita]

Ricky P will not play Tuesday, Aluko should start

Deserves his revenge on Southampton, what a shame.

[JimJams]

Get it Saturday?

 

 

 

[Staff]

How is he not starting 

[Rubbersoul]

I thought he was one of our better players yesterday. Another steady performance.

 

2/2 successful dribbles 

20/23 accurate passes 

1 Key Pass 

1/1 Aerial duels won 

7/11 Ground duels won 

3/4 Tackles won

1 Interceptions 

5 Clearances

4 Recoveries

Needs to play at FB, whether instead of Ricardo at RB or LB if VK isn’t fit enough.
 

We cannot play Thomas any longer at LB, drop him from the squad so there is no temptation to bring him on.

We cant play Riccy anymore. Aluko looked much better than Riccy when he came on. 

 

We have to assume VK can get fit enough for the rest of the season.

Unfairly hooked.

 

Kristiansen and aluko are clearly first choice fullbacks, but you get the feeling king reverts to tried and tested next match.

[Pliskin]

Bade is miles better than Ricardo, and I’d suggest Victor is significantly better than Thomas too. 
 

We just need a ****ing coach…..

it’s so sad to see what’s happened to Riccy, would we consider making him more of a coach? Get him on the sidelines?
