Player Richarlison

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

He’s not great. But got an assist v Wolves. And frankly, that kind of scrappy bullshit, Miss-hit shots, deflections, etc are what might keep us up.

Alarming that we’ve got to this stage and our season and survival is reliant on spaffing some lucky goals, but we are where we are. The last few matches aren’t going to be pretty.
 
Now our eager runner and not so eager scorer/assister/chance creater is out, hopefully Richarlison can now have 4 games to do what he did for Everton for years.
Dig in and keep us up.

Make your own luck. Don't whine about service. Get in the box. Get on things. Make things happen.

He's just as capable of scoring sublime goals and deflecting one in off a bollock.

In a nutshell we're at the incredibly desperate point where we're discussing who can just about kick a football in the direction of the goal....if he can he's first down on the team sheet, bordering on getting the captains armband!!! :nunothumb:
 
Think the Wolves game perfectly summed up the difference between the two of them. Solanke had a few tidy touches and was linking up OK while providing pretty much zero goal threat.

Rich come on and has can't trap a bag of cement. The ball bounces off him and it immediately hurts our all-round possession game, but he's getting in the right positions. If Doherty doesn't just win that header he probably scores, then it's his shot that leads to our only goal.

Solanke's neat and tidy but toothless. Rich makes us a worse team in possession but actually looks like scoring.
 
Spoken like someone who hasn't got the first fucking clue about depression and mental health.
Stupid comments like this really piss me off.
Far more than you could possibly know- I lived with a person who had a mental breakdown- I helped to get them committed and treated. I've had other friends with similar problems. I grew up in a household with mentally ill people. I see the signs of their behavior. I think you just think it's rude to speculate on other people's mental health.

I hope Richarlison helps us avoid relegation, but I certainly don't think he's exhibited anything resembling normal behavior during his time with us. And it's certainly not beyond my rights to speculate on it here in an anonymous internet forum. Get over it.

And yet after all of that, you can come out with "Baffles me how a grown man with so much money can find a way to be depressed"?
You may have known sufferers but a statement like that suggests that you really don't understand it because if you did, you wouldn't come out with such tripe.

And you are even trying to defend it and telling me to "get over it", while coming out with a load of nonsense that has nothing to do with either your statement, nor my response to it.

And no one is speculating about anything as Richy himself has talked about it.

Impossible to disagree with this
 
Did a decent job today outside of the goal.

He's never going to be a world beater or a 25 goal a season striker for us but we have no one else so hopefully he hasn't picked up a knock.

Surely we can't be that unlucky to have another forward out, surely the football gods don't have us that much
