2021/22 Richarlison

[Goat]

I'd put it at like 90% movement and being able to get shots away, 10% actual shooting quality. Basically every professional can strike a ball with time and space. Few find that where it matters consistently.

Thats cos finishing is mostly done in the head.

Its about perception mate.

You ask on here who they would rather have, I do suspect a lot would say Raphinha and we are biased.

His "stock" is higher than Richarlisons, for some weird reason.

He’s a good player with a lot of talent but take our pens and he scored 11 goals in 2 seasons for an attacking Leeds team, he got a few more assists than richarlison, but I’m sure he took a lot of set pieces for Leeds. The fact richarlison has a better goals record and can play in all 3 positions across the front would swing it for me

THAT IS BASICALLY WHAT IM SAYING

You just don't like that I've used the word random.

Does random mean something else in American English?

Maybe this will help: goal scoring isn't random. Finishing is. The actual shot going in is extremely volatile.

You are using the wrong word.

Random means it makes no sense, it either happens or doesnt.

Finishing has many factors, but its not random.

I would draft in some Texans and issue carry permits.

I think you’ll quickly find that may do more harm than good, but at least you’re thinking creatively

I disagree.

Or on the stomach. And with that I think I may have gone just a bit too far. Good night all.

This is a man who knows how to get things done, ry'chere.

 

[Saint Domingo]

I think we need to take risks. Townsend and Tarkowskis take you nowhere.


I still think finishing is largely random with few exceptions. I'd be willing to gamble on guys who are in the right areas and hope it goes in more here. Remember this is the exact logic that got us Richarlison

Who are the few exceptions to not being just randomly good at putting the ball in the net.

It's basically just Son. Even guys like Messi and Lewandowski have a year where they didn't finish well. That's why it's random.

I mean Messi spent a decade being one of the best anyone has ever seen and then this year it just didn't go in anymore.

Better finishers need fewer chances to score. Because they are more precise. Regardless of variables.
