Should play him on Sunday so that he can sit on Van Dijk and squash him.

And Pickford was doing most of the time last night under Lampford.

Tbf Benitez had us doing that when we shouldn't be.
At Anfield were Richarlison would just get utterly dominated if we tried to play him through the middle makes more sense.
Clutching at straws here and would agree with the recent comments of starting him up front. My hope is his fitness has improved, does seemed interested so effort will be there. Gets Richo out wide and not hammered by CBs for 90mins and will help defend out wide. Rondon wont win the majority of the contests as he will be isolated much of the time but will hold up balls Richo wouldn't be able to. Wont do the 90m either then time to change it up. Dont get me wrong not the answer next year but for this game the options are limited.

I honestly think Rondon is more effective a target man than DCL was against Burnley or United, and also would've buried at least one of the sitters Richy missed against Leicester. He's very limited, but he does certain things better than anyone else we have is currently doing. Would definitely play him up top against them on Sunday to give Richy the freedom to do the things he's actually good at.

Disgracefully under used by Frank
Disgracefully overused by fat waiter

Maybe so, but in hindsight he was right
We did well before fat waiter starts him, altered the tactics from exciting counter to percentage crossing and it achieve a grand total of 12 games without a goal from rondon.
We lost our shape, football become slow, ineffective, losing confidence along the way. The stubborn decision to start him game after game proves to be the building block of our terrible season.

Would you, or rather do you think Frank should of started him against Leicester? Or Wolves? Or away at Burnley and West Ham? He was on the beach at all 4, 3 of them we lost and the other he changed?
We also went several hundred minutes without scoring, right after he got 2 in the cup, while we watched DCL fall around offering nothing and he warmed the bench?
Starting him is not an option. The game plan to press will be out the window because he cannot sustain it for 90mins. Pressing is an essential part of Lampard gameplan, quite evident when you see the way he transformed iwobi.
Fast attacking football will also be limited with rondon leading the line. He is simply not that type of player.
The only way for rondon to be anywhere near effective is to keep the ball in the air, flick on and crossing. Or when we’re desperate for a goal and the opponent sits deep in their half.
Rondon is a very limited player. I can see why Lampard prefer richarlison as a striker.

I'd start him v Chelsea tbh. Need to get Richarlison back out wide.
