Player Watch: Richarlison

[talkshowhost86]

Great to see him back. Look forward to see him getting a few

Important option to have available. Gives us a proper alternative to Dom which we've missed this season.

 

[mil1lion]

Not only is he good for up top but also a lot better out wide than Werner

 

[Mr Pink]

Great to have him back.

Busy period up to January now.

 

[BorjeSpurs]

Really good to have him back in contention.

 

[Erm33]

Perfect time to have him back with so many games in the next few weeks. It'll be great to be able to have him and Dom swap out after 60-70 mins in each game and rotate them so neither gets run into the ground.

What was all of that "club forcing him out because he's going to run down the last 3 entire years of his contract" bullshit?

Fair play Richy, and well taken pen.

 

[isaac94]

pleased he scored, its a long season, and we need Ritchy

 

[Gassin's finest]

The balls on him to demand that penalty, because he knows he needs to get up and running in the goals. After having had such a bad time of it recently, he needed that.

Was even nice replacing Richie with Solanke… been a while since we’ve been able to provide cover in that position

He's addicted to crack and having an affair with one of the players wives

Absolutely and then to psyche out the keeper and slot it calmly down the middle - big cojones!

I said at the time that ITK/rumour had about as much validity as the Lamela coke addict and the Jan having an affair with Eriksen’s missus rumours

Nailed on you mean?

 

[Fitchspur]

Interesting to hear from Ange they took a different approach with Richys recovery this time, to try and break the current cycle of only being back a short time and then breaking down. Hope for all involved it works.

When was the last time we could replace a 9 with a 9? Kane/Llorente? (Talking established players here, not youth prospects like Scarlett/Lankshear)

 

[BorjeSpurs]

 

[spurs-r-us]

I don't want to be critical but he's just a poor fit. Not quick enough to play off the shoulder, not strong enough or good enough with his back to goal at the level we want to be at to play the more complete role up top.

He was bought pre-Ange, and has a good EPL record, so its just one of those things I suppose.

 

[Monkey boy]

He’s never been good enough and yet another damning indictment of our piss poor transfer committee.

 

[Reado]

Every time he had his back to goal the ball just bounced off of him. Heavy first touch after heavy first touch.

 

[DannyNZ]

Sadly our best chances fell to Richy and he’s still miles off the pac. Would have preferred leaving
Solanke furtherist up front and bringing Bergvall or Odobert on.
