Player Richarlison

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

You cannot play off of him. Works hard but does not have the technical ability or hold up play to be an out and out 9 in this league. Donkey touch and loses out on the huge majority of oriel duels he's in for.
 
Gets way too much criticism.

How he's still nabbing goals with Tel and Muani as his wide players is a miracle.

He's frustrating as fuck but that's not really his fault in some ways.

He was excellent second half at the stuff he's good at. Unfortunately that "stuff" isn't being a Kane type who can just smack one in or create a goal by sheer football brilliance.

We don't have anyone like that.

Which is why we are where are.
 
We need a lot more from all 3 up top than we are getting and seeing. Richarlison needs to be the focal point, needs to be strong, win fouls. Don't be reckless just pester until you cannot run anymore. The whole summer to relax but need every ounce of juice out of him going onto this one. Hopefully the goal gives him confidence.
 
Yep, needs to go, we need far better.

That whole forward line needs replacing, the only two that should survive is Kudus and Kulu and that's because they've been injured, the rest have proven all year that they are not good enough, and the scary thing is, Richy is the best of the bad bunch!

Sadly I suspect Kulu ain't gonna be the same player tbh. I reckon De Zerbi can get a tune out of Maddison and Kudus, and we'll need to take a look at Odobert and Xavi when they get fit - neither have been good enough but under the right manager I think there's a chance those 2 could be decent.

We desperately need a new top winger and striker, though, at the bare minimum. And I think we should be integrating Moore next year to give us something different and add a bit more technique and craft into the front 3.
 
For effort, as in chasing and harrying, he's good but he fluffs so many opportunities. Leeds he wasted three great chances a PL forward should be scoring with some ease. His header last night was dreadful. Really, awful. That front three would really struggle in the Championship.
