Player Watch Player Watch: Richarlison

[Gassin's finest]

Congratulations on being right. It must be immensely satisfying

Sadly not, it's all become so mind-numbingly inevitable.

Ok, he could have done better with the header but so could Kane with his. How can he be match fit and sharp without minutes though? Can't help thinking that if he would've got 20-30 minutes in games with a start once in a while he would have been sharper when given the chance than this extremely stubborn behavior from the Conte clan.

For me, the problem with Richarlison is I don't see what he excels at. He isn't really quick, not particularly strong, average technical ability, doesn't seem to be a great finisher and isn't creative.

Not really comparable chances are they though.

but apart from that

Kane's one was behind him he had to readjust it was a poor cross really - Richardslon was on par with Darren Bent Sandra would have doubled her total - instead of just putting it on target as he should he tried to make sure probably because he hasn't been scoring but it was a dreadful miss -

Don't think I said they were comparable just that both could have done better? I totally agree that he should have got it on goal but my point still stands, give the guy minutes if you want him to find his rhythm.

Seen everyone talk about the header, but not the finish for the offside goal. That was classy.

Maybe because the header actually meant something

So even though he showed he could finish we'll just gloss over it? Okay then.

the header cost us three points it was a free header from 5 yards the game was done it was a terrible miss - the other one looked fortunate to me but I haven't seen it again- I think when you get to April and have still to score your first league goal even though there are some mitigating circumstances you have to doubt his finishing 60 million pounds he has been another poor signing unfortunately

Kane missed a one vs one sitter tbf. Hit it straight at the keeper.

Stupid to judge him on this season given the injuries and chaos at the club. He’s been barely played in one of the most turgid sides we’ve had for years.

Stick him in a high pressing attack minded side and he’ll be a beast.

 

[BorjeSpurs]

When you look at Alexander Isak who was available with a release fee for similar money and the huge disparity in performances between the two, it certainly is looking like a poor signing. Particularly considering the calf problems that have dogged his career. Although we can only judge him properly when Kane leaves and he plays up front consistently, Isak genuinely can play up front and deeper with a creativity that Richarlison doesn't have.

Isak is actually a good player to compare him with as he has also had injury problems this season (out for 3,5 months) and have not been a guaranteed starter with Wilson starting a lot of games ahead of him.

However, in terms of results one of them has not scored all season and the other has the second best goal per game ratio in the league.

Yeah people would probably be equally upset with Kane if it wasn’t for the fact that Harry leads in PL goals this season against Richarlison by 23-0.

Yep same with me, and I thought the same since he first played for Watford. I couldn't believe everton paid 50mill for him, then we paid even more.

Hope we're proved wrong!

Absolutely mental to judge him on anything this season considering he’s an out and and out forward and H is always going to get picked ahead of him.
Even with his injuries coupled with playing him in a position he’s not really played I don’t see how we can criticise him, he didn’t set his price tag and all joking aside twenty years ago we’d have been creaming our knickers about having a Brazilian no 9, it’s just ridiculous that we bought him in unless they know H is off at the end of the season

. True. Guessing he’s played a fair bit in his actual position tho? Even when Richarlison plays he’s not in his actual position.

Yep. But you know he scored 12 goals for Everton so that must equate to 20 for a better team, and you know his work rate...

Its very likely that Richy is H's replacement, or at least that would be DL's way of seeing it.
This is his bed-in season.
