I feel like I've never seen one pass to the other, they have no understanding together at all.
2 of Richy's best games......
Sonny didn't start either of them.
There's something sort of un-Brazilian about Sonny's surge onto a through ball at a million miles an hour routine, I guess.
I think the extent of Sonny's play-making ability is to dribble into the box from the left and weave around defenders until the pass to Kane reveals itself......... Can never imagine him sliding Richy in.
On the flipside; most of my memories of Rich at Everton is being a bulldozer on the LW and riding his physicality for all it's worth into the box.... Can't really recall him being 'fed' by anyone other than getting a header on the end of a cross..... Can never imagine him sliding Sonny in.
It would make more sense for Rich to try and built a relationship with Kulu, but Rich being a left leaner, that seems unlikely.
It has all the makings of a conundrum to drive us insane
I fear Son is past it and Richy never had it. - and neither of them seem a good fit for Ange’s system. They were both mediocre to awful yesterday.
Maybe trying switching them up (Son to CF and Richy to LW) for a run of games and if that doesn’t work (which sadly I suspect it won’t) - Time for Solomon and Veliz - or whoever else Levy brings in before the window shuts.

When he scored 13, did he takes pens?
At least we have youth and promise on the bench
Richy’s Open Play Goals + Pens in the EPL.
Can hopefully reverse the downward trend this season under Ange.

Hope you’re right as he didn’t look very happy and might be better on the wing with Sonny central?
I saw a few people on social media bringing up the amount of touches he had. But that's a total non issue.
Just go and look how many touches Kyogo had in games for Celtic last season. We didn't create many clear cut chances for him at all, if any.
He needs a run of games. We need to see what happens in games where we've created numerous chances for him and see if he's up to it.

I don't think this is right.
If anything feel like Son and Kulu need to stay wider and let Maddison & Skipp(Sarr) operate more centrally. Udogie and Royal/Porro overlap with the 8s.
Think Son and Kulu's inability/reluctance to take the ball to Brentford's endline and cross into the box a few times made it very easy for Brentford's defense. Despite his goal, Emerson doesn't offer anything going forward. He and Skipp took up the same positions and didn't cause any threats.
Despite all the possession, I thought the team was ponderous on the ball. We didn't see the quick one-two passing or runs trying to break Brentford's lines. This tells me there's still a lack in belief of how Ange wants to play and maybe a concern about being being caught on the counterattack.

This is the way until we sort out our RW situation.

That’s what Orban would give us.
Never seen him play, so will bow to you on that. I would say that’s a very young, inexperienced player to lead the line. Big shout.
Orban is anything from a sure thing.
People writing him in like he's a missing piece are surely setting themselves up for disappointment
In Ange's system, I think Richarlison is a CF or nothing.
The wide players need to be able to go past a player on the outside, something Son & Deki barely did on Sunday.
But Richarlison playing wide will almost never beat a defender on the outside. Instead, he will always be looking to cut inside & get into the box.
He is a physical presence, & will work hard. But the one decent chance he had on Sunday he fired chest height straight at the keeper, making it an easy save.
Kane would have fired it low, close to the ground, across the keeper inside the far post. The only other CF currently in our first squad who I would back to strike the ball low where keepers hate it, is young Dane Scarlett, whose finishing is modelled on training with & learning from Kane.
