Disagree on the basis I don’t think the OP’s comment was ‘daft analysis’ I’ve been to a few more games recently and thought exactly the same thing @newbie said that we miss a striker even like Defoe who always felt a threat and could shoot on site, for Richy he scores tap ins or headers, other than that his finishing especially with his left foot is poor.That’s such a daft analysis though. Felt they are a threat Vs don’t.
Richarlison is scoring goals, working for the team, and even setting them up. He is having a decent season. He isn’t setting the World alight but he is contributing. As a fan base we are awful to him, starting some strange narrative around Johnson not being good enough (even though he is contributing) and pretending that it’s easy to find someone who scores 20+ a year
Im glad Richy has found some form but I don’t think he’s an out and out n.o9 and as Newbie says it would be good if we had a striker who shot a bit more, Werner has a good shot on him especially cutting in from the left, Richy’s shots are often off target or weak compared to someone like Defoe who Newbie referenced never mind Kane (who imo no point comparing to as he was true or world class and we won’t replace that unless we signed say Osimhen next summer.
