That was a terrible miss. Your usual Richy clumsy miss almost falling over himself. He had all the time in the worldMissing chances that two of the best finishers in the world score makes you a 'really poor footballer' does it now?
Christ, the extremes that people go to sometimes is just pure utter nonsense

Yeah but does that make him a really poor footballer?, I don't think so
Sure. That doesn't make him a great fit for Ange ball though, and never will.
Then he picked himself up, got on with the game and scored, with a cultured finish no less.
It happens to the best of the best.
Neville and Co will spend 20 years trying to caveat it.
......gimp.....
Terrible miss but whats worth to mention it didn’t ruin his confidence. Thaths huge difference when you compare what happenned with him in the past, when he was basically done in the match after missing sitter. Also kudos for putting his head and body when it was needed in the defence/set pieces etc.
Agh... Richie was so good in 3 games in a row, but I feel that last 2 games have been again step in wrong direction. Not saying that he is shit or useless - far from that.
I would say that in Brighton game he was our best attacking player. Johnson was shocking and Son was also pretty poor. But it still hurts that he did not score there, in some situations everything was done. It was just about putting the ball into the net. Most painful moment was when he failed to keep himself onside, got goal ruled out and Brighton then scored from next attack. VS Bournemouth he did score, but in some important moments showed again wastefulness that reminded of Richie of the past.
If he would have only taken best chances in these two games, he would have fulfilled my prophecy of securing EPL player of the month title. Right now scored 5 in Dec, but could have scored 8 - in which case I doubt he wouldn't have won it.
I really-really-really hope that in absence of Son he can handle the pressure, performs well and scores many goals!

Richie is gonna be the 'main man' for the next month... and like it or not, he's the only 1st team fit/available attacking option we have....
If Scarlett steps up and does well, then great, but we can't be pinning our PL/FA Cup hopes on a 19 year old youth player who has just come back from a mixed loan at Ipswich....
That's what we paid £60 to Everton for!!

his tap ins vs Newcastle and Bournemouth were better finishes than most people would give credit for.
The way he moved and slotted it in first time was all instinct and practice.
I would say Son doesn't really do that very often, but he did it exquisitely in the NLD.
Final straw for me tonight. Nowhere near good enough to lead our line.
He had big shoes to fill but constantly falling over and being offside does not help

never will be our main striker
awful performance

Didn't even bother celebrating Porro's goal. Too self obsessed as usual.
It's so obvious too. Unfortunately, having scored 5 in 5, he is absolved from any criticism apparently. Even if he clearly can't shoot for shit.
He will never be good enough at this level. The sooner we move him on & get in a replacement, the better
I think Levy is awful at admitting bad signings and shifting guys on sharpish. A lot of bad signings hang around for half a fucking decade.
