2018/19 Richarlison

[TheBigIguana]

According to Keown and Ince he's conned the referee. I guess next time he gets his foot stamped on he should just take it and move on. He's been kicked and stamped on all season. Southampton had 5 people get booked for fouling him. He's had 3 separate yellows on him today. It isn't because he's good at acting. The lad is constantly abused out there.

Give him the #9 jersey next season!

Probably Kevin Campbell was the last player we had who even came close to being worthy of that shirt for us.

How much better did we look going forward today? Played the role perfectly, a quality presence up there is what we´ve been crying out for.

Nice with him coming right over to give that young kid his shirt at the end, class act as you could see the little fella was beside himself, although his dad wouldn't let him go either

Just seen his goal, remember when people rated Kasper Schmeichel?

Cross was a peach tbh

Not just him but Morgan, Simpson, Fuchs, Drinkwater, Huth and Albrighton were all spectacular for a season and average at absolute best the rest of their careers. I still struggle to understand how that side won the title even with how good Mahrez, Kante and Vardy were.

What about Rom?

What about Rom?

I meant literally players who have worn the #9

Mad to think Kone had that shirt the entire time Lukaku was here.

There was a clip recently of Robert Huth being asked how a back four of Simpson, Morgan, Huth, and Fuchs won the Premier League and he just laughed and said "Kante".

It honestly is unbelievable. The closest team to that level of talent that also won the league would probably be the United team from Ferguson's last season and they would still smash that Leicester side.

How did he do up top beyond obviously scoring? I wasn't able to watch most of the match.

The fellas on the radio suggested he was struggling as a lone striker not seeing much of the ball.

Sounds like we created loads of chances and dominated the game so I reckon he’s fine there for the foreseeable.

I guess I was looking for specifics. How was his hold up play? Was he making runs properly? You'd think with his pace he'd be boss playing like Vardy or like Suarez when he was a RS. Balls over the top with him running off the shoulders of the CB's.

Ridiculous of them to say he was struggling. He targeted Morgan, pulled him out of position all day, got him sent off and he got his goal. Obviously holds it up well and could have had a goal or two more if he’d be found with a couple of chances we had. Think he’s got a big future as a number 9.
