I have said this for a long time. They are not a compatible pairing, as we play at the moment. We need to play different styles to acomadate them. It then gets muddled.
However I have always wondered about Richarlisons best position. As much as he wants to be the star striker the no9 if you will. He isnt a 9. But he also isn't a winger. Yes be can do both roles, but he just isn't a main striker or a winger.
In my view, he would excel either in the old Zidane position left of a midfield 3 and given license, or in the Lampard/cahill role. In midfield but given the freedom to come late in the box. I reckon we could see some good numbers from him
It's an interesting conundrum.
I feel they can play together, and we should try to get them playing together. But it means Richarlison might have to accept he is not a no9.
