Player Richarlison

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

His all round contribution is improving but he still doesn’t look anywhere near clinical enough. I like his work rate and he seems a bit better out wide - and it frees up Son as the CF - but this is a position we will be looking to upgrade soon.
 
The really scary thing about Richie is that, even if he finds his scoring boots and starts bagging on the regular, there's that injury that Hercules called the weekend of the Kane transfer waiting in the wings...

:ange-facepalm:
 
I like him. He's a good option to have for now.

I don't mind a bit of shithousery if the player can play.

We've missed a bit of that since prime Dele.

I couldn't stand Maddison when he was at Leicester, and now I love the cocky bastard.
 
He's nowhere near good enough to be a starting LW for a team fighting for the top 4; he'll never score the goals we need. However, his pressing tonight was immense, and he worked really hard. But that just isn't good enough.

He never looked like scoring.

His technique is still awful.

Just look at the moment at 1:14 in the video, when he receives a great ball from PEH. It's laughable really.

You are judging as a striker (goalscoring), no? He's 100% winger now. Why is no one judging Kulu by the number of goals he scores?

They are still different players with different skill sets, and it will be interesting to see just how Johnson does when fully fit but lets at least look at what they are doing in the roles that they have been asked to perform.

So, Richilad is getting a G/A every 119minutes this season (Probably about 125mins with injury time, if that’s not factored in those numbers).

I'm taking the piss out of our hated rivals..... This shouldn't be a trigger-point on a Spurs forum.

Jesus is a not very good striker and an ok wide player. Richarlison is a not very good striker and an ok wide player, that's the point. I'm not particularly arsed what Jesus does for Brazil, just like I'm not that arsed what Richarlison does for Brazil.

They both miss chances for fun at club level. Richarlison's return on xG this season is shocking.
 
Decent to good game yesterday.

Nice assist for first goal
Some good work on the left
Inc a Trippier like cushioned volley pass, part of the best move of the match
Very close to scoring with shot just missing the RH post and keeper rooted to spot
Lots of energy

Against - some clumsy control
Poor first time shot from 20 yards ballooned over the bar

By the end of December we'll have a better idea of whether we stick or buy a replacement

Right now he's LW and our only cover for Son

I gather we're watching a young Norwegian LW fella from Belgian League.
 
they gave him his props on talksport about an hour ago even perry groves. his pressing causes sides problems. he aint your typical brazilian, but a side is better with him in it even brazil. theres a reason he starts for brazil over jesus.

would love to know his PPG when starting compared to others after the same number of games.

Be that as it may; on that basis..... Your response to me taking the piss out of a gooner is "Rich is shit".

Meh.
