Richarlison at Spurs

[PhilM]

Evertonians have always overvalued our own players. He was a decent player but we are already a better team.

Due to the finances provided from his sale, admittedly. If we could have kept him and made those signings, would we better still?

I think you, others and us all know the answer. I’m not going to lie, he’s my favourite player of probably the last decade all things considered.

If you think that's true then read the Anthony Gordon thread and get back to me chief

I guess I agree with you on that one. I am just hopeful for a new business model of buying and selling in order to reinvest and improve the squad.

Starting again, respect how he has made himself a starter there, but its really annoying me how the media are bigging him up now and talking about what a commited player he is but for us he was just a diver and a cheat playing the same type game

But he was desperate to leave, he's like a completely different player at Spurs.

Is he? To the former point, I have no issue with him wanting to leave to advance his career, which a move to Spurs certainly has. It's the situation we're in.

However, could you or anyone else argue that he didn't do his utmost when he was here? He was pivotal for us last season and beyond, and that'll be remembered.

What?

Well, that’s not true is it.

 

[PhilM]

I can't work out if he was unlucky there with his chance (having to stretch out) or whether it was a poor miss.

I think its one of those weird ones where he’d have been better off if he made less of a connection and it dribbled towards the corner

Aye, I said to my son that in hindsight I think he probably should have swung his left foot at it, although it's easier to say that when you're watching on TV.

I know he was probably imbalanced, so he may not have been able to do it, but I think his right foot meant he couldn't get any direction to it.

His left foot could have tucked it past the keeper.

He is the exact same player, doing the same things, only praised for it now

Yeah, there’s no difference at all. Doing the same things at Spurs as he did here (including periods where he frustrates).

 

[Leylo]
