Before, he couldn't find the "right place at the right time" to save his life, now he's there 4 or 5 times a game.

His lack of technical ability will see him miss a lot of those chances, like the one at the end, but if he's in the position to score 15+ a season, as he's currently on course to, I will have no complaints.
 
Not his best game today and he even says that in his interview, but there wasn’t much service to him especially in the first 60 mins or so, BUT look at what he did for us, he won free kicks for us when holding the ball up which gave the defence and midfield breathing space and got us further up the pitch ( as a CF holding the ball up and winning free kicks is a massive part of there game, it isn’t always about banging goals in). Then he assisted Richardson with a flick on, anyone who knows football will see that the part he played in the goal was key as he drew the defender to him leaving richarlison with space ( another great aspect of a CF is drawing players to you to create space for others). Then the goal was a what some would might say as fortunate as right place right time but I’d say its great positioning for a goal scorer who knows where to be.

Lads done so well this season it’s taken us all by surprise myself included. Keep it up Dom!

Real talk the lad is a different player since Dunc took over. He's mentioned how influential Dunc has been on him too. Honest question here:did Duncan give the lad some good mentoring and has that been a catalyst for his improvement and more predatory style of play?

personally I think as well as improving as he has done, a big thing is we are getting players closer to him. The set up of the team is bringing out the best in him. An experienced pro would have struggled with the way we used to have our forwards isolated. Good on the lad, keep on truckin

I agree - but from the bench.

If we are to take the next step we need someone who's all round game is more polished.

Richarlison alongside someone like Immobile or Vardy would be immense.

If we get Europe and Tosun goes we'll definitely need another CF so I hope thats Carlo's plans long term.

Apart from that tap in, another poor performance.

Shows no sense of intelligent movement whatsoever. Just stands around most of the time hardly competing for balls lofted into the box.

couldn't care less, same thing was aimed at Rom & the same people who moaned about that are the ones saying we never replaced him. Keep scoring Dom, makes the moaners look daft

Well yes, Richarlison ceiling is way way higher than DCL's no qualms about DCL didn't play well but still scored which Richarlison has done many times this season where he's not been on his game but he still bagged, It's a good thing to have, DCL on 11 and Richarlison on 9 goals each not sure what more he can do to get peoples approval.

Why we even comparing them anyway? There playing in a team not against each other? And playing well together. 2 different types of footballer.... scoring goals and winning us games.....enjoy it
