Their is a reason RLB kept Rigg and not Dan
Rigg clearly had/has a much higher ceiling than Neil. I doubt Neil will improve much for the rest of his career, whilst Rigg has stacks of improving to do.

Which he will do, perfectly normal part of training at a football club and he will get bigger as he gets older, like all players.
Doesnt need to be hiring someone seperate do that now like he suggested

He's got the perfect scenario now to get 7 more PL games under his best under relative stress free circumstances which is crazy to say as a newly promoted team.
Obviously would love us to get into Europe somehow but a pipe dream rather than sweating to stay in the league like others down there

Here we go he’s had two good games in two seasons so he’s generational talent again…. Did you not learn from getting carried away beforeYou need to watch a different game, sport or read a book.
Best not to comment on something you know absolutely nothing about.
Unless it's a wind up post as it's that stupid - in which case i admit to being whooshed.
How is my criticism overboard it was fully justified and based on fact !

Of course it is. You’ve not even given the lad a chance to play a few games.
We went through exactly the same with Henderson.
It’s an absolute joke the way people are going on.

Your opinion isn't a fact - that is a fact.
2 or 3 good games you reckon - it's amazing how he keeps getting in the squad of a mid table Premier League side at 18 year old and has amassed probably 70 odd 1st team games at that age.
Also keeps getting selected for each of his England age groups as well - he's doing something right in the eyes of RLB and other pro coaches.
Thankfully they appear to know and understand considerably more than you about the game would be my opinion. So does our cat as well like.
Always been the same - the know nowts can never wait to dig out the local players. Defo happened to some degree with Henderson.

Aye and I can't recall folk being too unhappy with our midfield so they must have been having good games. At least 25 or 30 more than 2 or 3.
Yep
Jordan Henderson
Really pissing me off that we have the best young kid who has come through the ranks at the club for fuck knows how long getting turned into a bit of a boo boy by some supporters. What is it with the modern day football fan that a players cant have a bad or a quiet couple of games without...

For fucks sake he's 20, what are people expecting, took his goal really well, used the ball well, got past his man plenty and delivered some good balls. Growing in stature, good that he got skys MOM too. well done that man.

Exactly.
And he’s only 18 ffs. Many youngsters will have dips in form etc whilst they’re dealing with the physicality.
Absolutely.
Saying that he hasn’t even had a dip in form. He’s only played 600 mins of PL football, so he’s just settling in.
But we’ve seen it (dips in form) with majority of the young lads in the squad who’ve played more.

I know I'm replying to my own post here but I was wonder if Le Bris pointing out Xhaka wants to play with him and then talking about teammates not wanting to pass to him goes back to when Xhaka had a go at Rigg and it changing Rigg?
Isidor “If the quality of the session isn’t good, he’ll yell. I have an example: there’s little Chris Rigg in the squad, and he’s brought him back into shape. He was a little lazy in training, so he went to talk to him to ask him to change his attitude. That changed him.”

Sounds encouraging, proof is in pudding tho and for 2 matches he’s done a lot better , hopefully it continues
I would reiterate that he hasn’t had an assist or goal since 26/12/24 so statistically he hasn’t done anything in over a year tbf

Forgot to mention he’s still just a kid……….and is playing out of position, as he is predominately a left sided player………in the top league……..with three top class performances.
What’s not to like?
