I'd like to believe, I really would. Trouble is I never really rated him that highly when he was at Everton, and I've seen nothing since to change my mind.

A runner who doesn’t have pace though? What’s the point? He’s basically there to press a bit? If he’s part of a front 3 he’s got to be the striker but he’s miles off Kane’s level and wouldn’t accept being a back up striker.

If we get Slot for example, he wants 2 wing forwards who can beat players 1 on 1 and or get in behind with pace. Richarlison can’t do those things.
Richarlison completed more dribbles per 90 at Everton when playing wide, than any of Feyenoord's wide players this season, he is also quicker than Idrissi and Jahanbakhsh.

He would be better at Striker in Slots system than out wide though.

Loads of us said at the time that he isn’t good enough and unfortunately he’s done nothing to prove the doubters wrong. More interested in being a dick than actually doing anything productive.

I’m struggling to remember a good game for us in the league. He’s stealing a living. He looks like he’s never been coached to do anything properly. Going to be another ndombele we can’t shift unless we get rid this summer.
How many of our players have looked good recently though? It can't be all of them just being useless bellends.

I feel like many people forget how much Son struggled at the start; it really isn't surprising a player isn't pulling up trees in a team that looks utterly bereft.

I've come to the conclusion Richarlison must be the worst Brazilian since Stevie Wonder shaved his wife's fanny.

It doesn't help when players take too long to pass the ball though
My thoughts exactly, a real creator in the middle would literally be flicking balls in behind first time or after a quick glance, our losses take 6 touches to control the ball by which point our strikers are already miles off

Played like a league one striker yesterday, poor touch, poor decision making, weak in the 50:50 - I want him to do well but yesterday was not it

What a flop of a signing. Almost as bad as ndombele for the money. If someone comes in for him in the summer near for what we paid for him he needs to be sold. Nobody is stupid enough to pay £60m for though except us.
Ndom is much worse. He doesn't want to excel.
Richy does, so he may still succeed. He won't be a complete flop the way Ndom is.
We will see a better Richy next season.

Richarlison excels at one touch fluid football, a bit like Dele did. We don’t play one touch football.

The season is almost over and he still has no chemistry with any teammate on the pitch.

It's weird but somewhat understandable given how everything has gotten worse compared to the second half of last season and most of the squad have had a bad individual season.
