Player Richarlison

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

This guy is an enigma wrapped in dogshit isn't he?

Somebody told me his goal scoring record the other day for us and I had to do a double take, it was nowhere near as bad as I expected.

But simultanously he has games like tonight where if he was playing for my old pub team I would bring him off after 20 minutes.

You would think he could find a little bit of consistency, its a WC year....

On balance you need consistency and he's just not it is he?
 
It's very Spursy to sell Johnson and keep Richarlison. Selling away guaranteed goals just for aesthetics like "work rate" which means nothing for the league table position

He's not consistent enough to play as ST for us. But he can be useful at LW where he can crash the box and poach goals and press a lot.

Just last week most of the folks on this board were saying how RKM is too shit to play ST, and Richy is a disaster at LW. Our best attacking play lately has come from EXACTLY that combination.

That’s flawed thinking because what you call “our best attacking play” is still garbage compared to better teams. We need to hold ourselves to a higher standard and demand better. These players are not capable of the consistent attacking quality needed or they wouldn’t be here.
That’s why they are here….

I would like us to have better quality as well- I’m talking about what can be practically done now with what we have available.
 
Going to need to draw the lines for this one :richtongue:

The guy basically lives offside. Such a lack of basic football IQ in a PL (and Brazil) player paid 100s of 1000s of GBP a week is both staggering and disgusting.

Played as a No 9 til I was about 12 or 13 and I was awful, couldn't score to save my life...but even at that age I knew that one of the biggest things for a CF is to check the line and time your runs. I still coach u9-u11's every now and then and even those kids know how to keep an eye on the last man so they stay onside, or how to bend their run etc.

Fuck his goals. One of the worst signings we've ever made. Can't fucking wait til that psycho is gone.
