Player Richarlison

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

He didn’t get much of the ball, but didn’t seem to move into space very often either. Lost count of the number of times we had the ball centrally, around 25-30 yards out and could’ve slipped a ball through to him, but he was always standing right next to a massive defender.

If we had a nippy wee bugger like Defoe up front, always on the cusp of offside, we’d score bucketloads.
 
Not a good game. Wasn't totally his fault, didn't get the best service and was being marked by very physical defenders. But even then, the few times he did get the ball he didn't do anything.

But I'm still not giving up on him.
 
Not sure where people got this idea that Richarlison is anything more than an average player. Getting selected for the National Team or playing well there doesn’t mean shit. Lo Celso is a world beater for Argentina.

Richarlison is nothing more than a 30m player, that is in this inflated market.
 
I actually thought he was OK. Good hold up play and pressing, struggled a bit when had the half chances. There's no point in hoping he's gonna be as good as Kane, simply not gonna happen.

For me the wingers were a bigger problem in terms of creation.
 
Worked hard, presses well and I have been a supporter of his but this wasn’t a great game. The front 3 were all very lacklustre today.
 
He will be a decent bench player, someone to bring on when the opposition is tiring. We need better to start games though. Get the chequebook out Levy!!
 
Think weve had our pants pulled down with this one.

I mean, its a grown man with a huge tattoo of another grown man and still current player neymar on his back, what was we expecting
 
Not a great day but he’s got something. After he’s had a good run of games we’ll see. But writing him off now after a season of games off the bench in a negative side isn’t right.
 
He needs the wide forwards either side of him to get in behind round the sides. He attacks crosses well and is decent in the air. If we just keep on recycling the ball from side to side it’s not going to work. He’s not a quick feet bit of magic player and he’s never going to be but he could be fairly effective with more direct wide players
 
He had the xG of 0.21 today, but people are acting like he shit for not scoring. We failed to get him enough good chances, mostly do to our wide players doing fuckall.
 
I don’t rate him at all but I felt for him today. No space for him and he can’t operate in tight spaces. Will be different at home. What was evident is without Kane that fear factor and presence goes. Whether that’s a Vlahovic type or Orban type we need as a different option but we do need another option.

By that reckong, Kane is worth DOUBLE!
WHY weren't we asking £120m for him??

Richie had 2 good chances that you felt Kane might have taken at least one of... But now we'll never know...


There's still time, but I feel that with Kane's departure, expectation on Richie is gonna rise 10 fold!

Not his fault as such, but still something for him to live up to ...

Go awwwn Richie Laaaa!!
