yea he looks a good player to be fair, very good bit of recruitment from newcastle.

Player Richarlison
- Thread starter The Fighting Cock
- Start date
Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports
Playing for a new contract???
It’s probably the first season since he’s been with us he feels like our first choice forward.
Playing more minutes, that extra sharpness you get.
Increased confidence- and he’s definitely a confidence player.
In the top 5 scorers in the league.
Needs to stay fit now.
He looks the fittest he’s been right now.
We've done this goals per 90 thing with him numerous times already.
That's his 4th season here, and he has played 3883 league minutes so far. If you want to know how small of a number this is, I could simply tell you that Solanke the one year wonder played 3333 minutes in his breakout year with Bournemouth. So even if Richarlison has had a terrific goals per 90 number over the course of his time here, it would make him nothing more than a different kind of a one year wonder: One whose minutes have been distributed over the course of multiple seasons.
Except there's another caveat to this, namely the massive purple patch he had in the 23/24 season:
That's 9 goals in 625 minutes, an extreme outlier of a stretch that could skew the numbers obtained from a sample that's already extremely small to begin with.
Including the purple patch : 3883 / 22 = 176 minutes / goal
Excluding the purple patch: 3258 / 13 = 250 minutes / goal

Believe it or not, his fragility is actually working in his favour here. Small samples are more open to getting skewed in quite [un]flaterring directions by statistical noise, and his numbers are benefitting from just that.
It all depends if his prior years were just bad luck or whether he is, in fact, made of glass.We've done this goals per 90 thing with him numerous times already.

We thought Sessegnon and GLC were made of glass. Sessegnon, in half of this season has played 50% of his entire minutes at Spurs over 3 years.
Richarlison may be made from cheese or he may leave Spurs and play non stop football for 2 years. Who really knows?
He played most of his time at watford and 50% at Everton on the LW. He isn't good enough for starting CF.
This is why a few cherry picked stats don't tell the story - him and Johnson are poor footballers who hurt everything we try to do as a team and affect our whole shape when attacking / getting up the pitch.
Richi cannot trap a football or do anything with his back to goal - that is an absolute requirement for a no 9 in the prem even more so under Frank. His touch is woeful and he doesn't link play well or have any pace to get in behind.
Lobbing the keeper in the NLD when we are being hammered is pointless, being able to win duels and get us up the pitch earlier in that very game would have helped us more than the goal when the game was over.
Anyone who thinks he can be a starting player still after 4 years of this needs to use their eyes and wise up!
Sub at best if we can't shift him which is very likely but undroppable atm because of personnel and current form in front of goal.

I generally agree, but if we can sign RKM, then I'm ok with our CF options vs the issues we have at LW, where we need a proper elite player
RKM has looked good but I wouldn't be dropping huge money on him right now - see how the season pans out.
He reminds me of Adebayor a bit, lovely skills and quick thinking prob quicker.
Is he good enough to be our long term big money striker? Yet to be convinced tbh tho I do like him.
Solanke if he gets back to consistent fitness or not is a huge question too thinking long term.

It’s also World Cup soon, additional motivation for any player on the cusp of their World Cup squad
Sessegnon is out injured now; with Silva declaring y'day: "because of his past we must be central cautious with him"
"Excluding purple patch"We've done this goals per 90 thing with him numerous times already.

Loooool yeh let's do a stat of a strikers goal to game ratio and take away some of his goals, this place loool.
A rather self defeating conclusion to your rhetoric.
Unfair to suggest he'd otherwise been phoning it in.
More a reflection of how bad our other options are than anything thats he is undroppable atm.
So you think Muani is an outright worse player than Richarlison?
he was a kid at watford and could actually move then. you think a player thats only useful in the box is a winger? hows that make sense? youve just been told he has a 0.65 goals per 90 mins in the prem above....thats good goal scoring numbers.
solanke is a better footballer than richie outside the 18 yard box, much better imo. but he isnt a better goal scorer, he isnt as ruthless in the 18 yard box, he also might not come back the same player after this injury.
I am not going to get into a silly back and forth cos you are trying to put words in my mouth - we need both of them on the pitch right now and there is no one else to replace him.
Muani is bringing the best out of him and adds a lot.
