At this moment he might be an asset because we need to be basic but he should never be trusted to be our number nine if we want to get back to where we should be. If we stay up which I think we will and of course he might play a big part in that we can’t have the usual suspects thinking he’s worth keeping around next season. If you continue with poor quality then you can’t ask for any sort of improvement or success. That’s just stupid.

Player Richarlison

The other players who have a perceived higher talent level should pause and look at that for a second....
Richarlison started 4 games last season, so I think you're flapping for excuses here
He started 4 in the league. Maybe outwith his injuries there’s a reason for that.
So, to revisit the point, perhaps you should be criticising the players who did play and did fuck all, instead of having a go at the ones, like Richarlison, who had 4 PL goals in 4 PL starts last season, and 9 PL goals in 14 PL starts this season
Or we can also blame Brandon Austin for all of Vicario's fuck ups, if you prefer that approach
That would be stupid
You can like Richy all you want but he’s a horrible footballer. We’ve been blessed in the past at this club with strikers and I can’t be a fan of a guy whose only real asset is to run about and play captain chaos. I want to see a striker hold the ball up and take us up the pitch,link with midfielders,create a chance out of nothing and be clinical. I understand those days of those strikers are gone but Richy is not for me.
We all have favourites and he’s obviously one of yours but not for me. None of this squad get on that pedestal with me. They’ve not earned it. Not one deserves any praise.

There's a difference between "not one of my favourites" and "out of all the shit players we have, I'm going to dig out the one that is actually the reason why we're not already relegated"
he’s not the reason we are not relegated yet but I do agree he might have a part to play in us not getting relegated. If he does that then great then let him be part of the exodus in the summer. What could happen is he scores a couple that gets us safe and people will be saying we should keep him. That can’t happen unless we want to be a mid to bottom half club.
i think everyones well aware that hes not berbatov or kane, but his goal per minute ratio since being at spurs is very, very good. we have far bigger concerns than a player who is getting a very good goal per minute ratio, maybe getting a competent keeper, competent defence, competent midfield and competent wingers should be more of a concern than a sriker whos actually scoring goals in a fucking shit team.
richarlison is an 18 yard box player, and a dog outside it who will fight for the team, there's nothing wrong with that. yes, id like to see a more silky striker, but we had that before with berbatov and cos the team behind him was shit he fucked off. maybe lets get the rest of the team sorted before slating a striker thats actually scoring goals for us and effecting games.
In a list of players to call out as to why we are where we are, Richarlison is near as damn it at the bottom as you can get.
Probably only just above Madison and Kulusevski in terms of least liable.
In no particular order, Romero, Vicario, Van De Ven, Porro, Bentancur, Simons, Dragusin, Muani all head and shoulder above Richarlison in terms of lack of effort, lack of quality and inability to rise up.

He’s a good back up striker potentially. But maybe a bit moody and wrong stage in career for that ???
Good grief, I never should give you an opportunity to fish out puns, they'll be over the plaice now.

PS thanks for getting rid of that disturbing picture of the Andrew formerly known as Prince, it was giving me the eebee jeebees

Not sure you could see the furry and sparkly details in the smaller version?
I think chaotic is a decent description of him because he's certainly not easy on the eye.
I see him as something on an instinctive player, in that he's capable of scoring incredible goals but if he has too much time to think, he'll likely fall over his own feet or shin it.
But he's a decent player and if we can keep him fit and give him chances, he'll always score a handy amount of goals while not being very pretty about it.
Solanke is dreadful, and has looked uninterested in several games.
Both of the lm aren't good enough, but I'd rather have the one that tries and can also score as oppose to the one who just runs around and doesn't do much.
Richi will get goals, has experience of being in this situation and we have to lean into that. Dom was supposed to be the messiah who'd save out season according to some in here, but that hasn't quite worked out. And you can only be as good as your service up top, to which, he's got very little, but puts chances away at a very good rate. Like it or not, he's the best option we have right now. Obviously has to be replaced in the summer, but Solanke is not the answer from now til the end of the season.
What, this one?...

What number 9 is pretty to watch? Do you watch Haaland trying to play football?
Spurs fans have unrealistic expectations about many players but strikers specifically because we had world class Kane and Son at the same time for a long time.
Double figure goals in the EPL is a fantastic achievement.
We would be dead and buried without Richy's contribution. It's not his fault he gets injured.
Forest would not be in the relegation zone if Wood were available.
RKM is a classic case of..oh, he is better than Richy. But he ain't.
Berba was the last striker I think we've had that was "pretty to watch" but as you say, being effective is far more important as a striker, so save the pretty boys for the wingers (and yes, I'm specifically thinking about Ginola when I say that because as a hetrosexual father of three, I think watching him at the lane gave me my first and only man-crush!

We were all shouting “Oi Gorgeous” in the 90s…..
