2021/22 Richarlison

[WilliamPerry]

Do you think he's a good number 9 for Everton

lets be honest it’s been a really bad Everton team for the most part . You do realise a number 9 relies on players creating chances , we’ve lacked that all season

 

[Nymzee]

He's fulfiling the role well enough now. If DCL can get fit and sharp then he'll play but for now Richarlison is giving us something extra.

It's not perfect but it's where we're at.

Yeh it's serviceable but going forward I don't want to see it, he's not suitable. So many times even today he'd drift out left and there'd be absolutely nothing for anyone to aim for in the middle. Basically give centre-halves a free game half the time.

But I'm not judging him on his goal tally? I think you've come into this discussion too late.

 

[WilliamPerry]

Tbf when you've got a selection of Neymar, Coutinho, Vinicius, Casemiro, Fabinho, Paqueta etc behind you then the quality of chances that come your way is usually better

My point exactly . give him service and he’s decent . not hard to work out

Oh I’m sorry

yeah though as Nymz has said tbf when he has started up front for Brazil it's been as part of an interchangeable forward line with some world class players

I agree long term and if Dom was anywhere near the level required then he'd be playing.

Also just awkward his and Gordon's best position is the same one.

Yeah unfortunately our three best wide players are all better from the left.

 

[witchdoc187]

I think he's brilliant. The current set up doesn't suit him in terms of going forward

 

[hktoffee]

If we are selling Dcl we have to give Richy a new contract.

 

[Toffeepot]

It was hypothetical. If Simeone could, I think he'd prefer Richarlison in his team rather than Felix.

Atletico went from being very 'negative' in their style to playing more expansively in games where they were favourites. Thats why he was brought in to add some flair and develop into a world class forward.

Simeone is the wrong manager for Felix but Richarlison would look great for him.

That's probably true alright. I'd still prefer if we kept him though, I haven't given that hope up yet, but wouldn't be suprised if we goes

 

[Fansince1988]

He isn’t and apart from a purple patch under Carlos never has been, I’d rather Richy up front any day over Dom.

 

[Fansince1988]

Yes definitely

 

[Fansince1988]

he‘s only playing up front because that little minx DCL traded being a footballer for being a model , we all know what Richarlison is best at.

If Richy is playing up front it means Dom isn’t playing im happy with that.
