Player Richarlison

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Super wasteful in the first half and more consistent in the 2nd. Some good moments and lots of iffy touches and passes.

Just not his best game but he always works hard and makes a lot of small plays that help the team.

Still don’t think he’s good enough to be a #1 striker… ideally we find a good winger (or two) and use richy and sonny at ST next season assuming we have Europe. They compliment each other well as sonny would have been a better ST in open games like today and richy is better against a parked bus.
 
Worked his dick off again today, pressing and running til that the last minute , he shows he can be effective and still contribute to the team on and off the ball in games that he doesnt score in.

Was he wasteful? I don’t think so, nothing was clear cut
 
Watched the game today while playing with my soon to be 3 year old son. Must have managed to look at the screen every time Richarlison made a mistake today, because that's all I saw!

I trust you guys he was better than that, I'll put the blame on my son for now. (Wrote his own name today whilst not even 3 years old, that's fucking cool isn't it? Think I could barely write mine when I started school)
 
Can’t fault his work rate. His fitness levels are incredible.

I thought he held the ball well but his touch and weight of pass were poor and he struggled to link up play. Any rate, he got it spot on for the winner so can’t be too pressed about it.

Yeah, 9 in 9 is not good enough.

Make him train with the U21’s…

To be honest, the assist of the assist (perfectly weighted pass onto Sons run, 96th minute) was more precious to me than a goal, as he’s been slightly lacking in that aspect, much more than goals of late.
 
Lacked end product but gets a free pass given what he's done for us over the last 2 months

Thought he had a good game overall though - he always brings a lot of physicality and intensity that we sometimes lack
 
His passing was atrocious most of the game.

Watch the first 5mins of the game back. He passes the ball out of play or to the opposition his first 3-4 passes. Killing all our momentum each time which let Brighton get a hold of the game. They were routine passes for any professional footballer.

He completely under hit a pass to put Madders in 1v1 on the edge of the box, and there were numerous other times his passing/touch slowed or stopped Spurs build up.

On this flip side, his movement off the ball was good, received the ball in some good positions, defensively worked hard, and eventually found a decisive moment in the build up to the winner.

I'm a Richarlison fan, but I would drop him next week for Son as Striker and Werner LW. Son has so much more quality to increase the speed of our play.
 
Worked really hard yet again. Seems to want to move the ball quickly when he gets it now and then get up the pitch. He’ll never be a world class striker but he’s a decent enough PL forward.

I go back to him and coaching. Has he really had that higher quality coaching that he’s getting now since moving to England? Watford and Everton and the managers he’s had doesn’t exactly scream top class.

Maybe under Ange more of his ability will come out, let’s hope so.

He’s also playing in a side that has more of the ball than their opponents and with players that can play
 
we were so spoiled by Harry Kane, and anyone trying to take over CF will have trouble
for me I can't break the money we paid from the player we got
when we are under pressure we need him to win us fouls like that nice Kane would do
 
Not sure I agree with people saying he was excellent. Not sure what they were watching to be fair.

His passing was awful all game, pissed away chance after chance with the wrong decisions and missed the 1v1. He worked hard as always and hold up play was decent.

Thing is with Son as our 9, we win that comfortably and I doesn't have to be that close.

For me, we play Son as our 9, as he is the best 9 in the league. We want to win games, we play our best player in his best position.

Richy needs to be moved to the wing. He doesn't offer anything in the 9 he can't offer on the wing.

Hopefully, Ange sees this.
