2018/19 Richarlison

[brigadier]

We are going to need his pace and energy, let's hope he can have a good game on Sunday.

 

[blueconverse]

Would like to see him in a 2 with DCL.

 

[ArtetaMoney]

He’s trying a bit too hard at the minute, he’ll come good again.

Richarlison's performance at Cardiff was pitiful. His passing, both in accuracy and in weighting, was a disgrace. And he didn't take the ball past a member of the opposition once.
If he was someone who'd just progressed through the youth team into the first XI and played as badly it would likely mean we'd not be seeing him again for the rest of the season.
Of course if his poor performance on Tuesday night had been a one-off then it could be ignored. But the truth is he's done little since November.

 

[AsiaAsia82]

He basically needs better players around him so he doesn’t get all the defenders attention and isn’t the focus of every attack

 

[efcjames]

Been crap for ages now, should be dropped for a few games to recoup himself

 

[ijjysmith]

Can’t remember who it was, maybe @sageyefc , but maybe he is better up front after all?

He does seem to have a knack of being in good goalscoring positions.

Maybe as a 2 up front? But we never do that.

 

[Saint Domingo]

He’s our best striker so should play upfront. He’s quite wasteful in possession on the wing which will be punished by Liverpool if we give it away cheaply.

He's scored 5 times since November to be fair. Not saying he's been fantastic, but there seems to be a willingness to just ignore the fact that scoring goals is really quite a useful skill.

Would like to see him in a 2 with DCL.

It would definitely benefit them both imo and I’d like to see it with Bernard and Lookman either side of them to create, Gomes and Gueye anchoring in the middle.

I think Richarlison and DCL both work hard enough off the ball to make it work and they would 100% be getting more chances with Lookman and Bernard to create for them.

Been saying this all season. He is not a winger, he possesses none of the attributes of a winger. He is a forward, but not a lone back-to-goal target man. Everton fans have had it drilled into them for so long that only one formation exists and that’s why we have people calling for us to sign the likes of Mitrovic and Rondon in the summer and writing Richarlison off.

 

[Rugby Toffee]

Needs to be more direct , run at their defence, unsettle them

He’s nowhere near fast enough to be an out and out winger either.

 

[ijjysmith]

On thing is though he’s still a very good player and one of our only actually threats.

He’s been waaaaaay better than I thought he’d be when that mad fee was being banded about in the summer and it felt horrible. Over the whole season he’s been one of our better players for sure.

A drop in form for a player like him isn’t that weird either is it? Especially at his young age.
