Chris Rigg

[APH]

We can finally put to bed is he or isn't he a mag because he doesn't give a fu ck about the visitors. Seen the light.

Did that in the home game tbf. I already had no doubts going into this one.

 

[Upwegosafc]

Excellent yesterday. Think you just have to play him every game now till end of season, will do him wonders.

 

[joedurham]

he's technically excellent just doesn't seem to have developed physically yet and i do feel that hampers him at times. if he bulks up a bit and gains some strength feel it will do him the world of good. this will probably happen naturally though as you forget how young he still is

He was putting in the tackles yesterday and winning them.

 

[SR7]

Considering the occasion, that was arguably his best game in a Sunderland shirt. I think we can put to bed all this "he's a mag" carry on now.

 

[Oli Wagkz]

He’s been brilliant the last 2 games. Shown he can do it at this level

 

[Scorer]

I think for the remainder of this season we know our best midfield includes him on the right. Talbi left, Xhaka, Sadiki, Le Fee in middle.

Never had doubts. It was Riggy who pulled all the team to the Roker end for that photo in December

 

[EternallySAFC]

I can’t get over how good he was, what a performance. He’s not a centre mid just yet but he will become a very good one.

There are some parallels with Le Fee in that he needs to figure out how to play against opponents that are physically stronger than him. Once that happens or he himself becomes stronger then you can see him moving into the middle.

As good as he was yesterday and I'm over the moon for him - Diarra still gets in our midfield for me.

Well done lad. Talent there but unsure he has strength and pace for PL but he is young , and maybe he will. Hope so anyway.

 

[Ricci's Special Kebabs]

Well done lad. Talent there but unsure he has strength and pace for PL but he is young , and maybe he will. Hope so anyway.

Last 2 games have shown he's massively improved his strength.

Yeah , fingers crossed as he did a beautiful meg yesterday and his early skill/pace is a joy

 

[HearMeRoar]

Next season he'll score us the winner in one of the derby's. You watch. That'll cement his status.

 

[Father Larry Duff]

He looks fitter and stronger. If you remember him down Brentford compared to yesterday looks like a different player. Probably had a growth spurt last few months. The talent was always there

 

[Scorer]

As good as he was yesterday and I'm over the moon for him - Diarra still gets in our midfield for me.

I thought Diarra did quite well yesterday but on form over the last couple Rigg is definitely ahead of Diarra at present if it’s a straight choice.

 

[HearMeRoar]

He speaks really well too, mature head on his shoulders. If he sticks with us for the long haul he might be captain one day

 

[TheBronzeBummer]

I don’t think people wanted him gone… the majority thought he needed a loan to allow him to play every week to help his development. The last two games shows that perhaps was wrong and he can now play a big part in the remaining fixtures.

I am not on about people who wanted him loaned, but people genuinely felt he had reached his peak at 18. Because they have broken brains it appears.

 

[Banks]

The lad is a bairn and has shown he is more than good enough for this level.

Needs more game time and in the middle not on the right

 

[sarboas]

doesn't weigh enough apparently

 

[ftm1971]

Keep forgetting he's only 18, christ, hopefully he develops into a top class player
