I don’t think he’s an heir to Kyle, in the sense that he provides something different as a fullback. He’s way more versatile tactically and better going forward. You can slot him into midfield, have him play inverted, have him overlapping, etc. At the same time, Kyle is a physical specimen, and at his best, is easily the best all-around right back in the PL ever, and is even in the conversation for best right back ever. But Rico can give us something different in a very good way if he manages to stay fit and stays on this course. He’s also hopefully a better human being lol

Heir to Kyle? Kyle wishes he had Rico’s ability

He’s not had a consistent run of games, no big deal. His time will come.

That’s because we don’t need the media to show off our talents. We do them both on and off the pitch. Rodri is a living proof.

Rico isn’t a fullback the way Kyle Walker is. Like Rico is a great midfield player that defends well enough that we can use him as a pivot. Walker is fast and lethal in shutting down attacks. Rico needs to get a little faster and stronger and then he can be the “heir” until then he’s just a better for our attack player than Walker.
