According to Transfermarkt, he's played six of his last 10 out wide (through the middle in the last three, though).
Fwiw Richarlison is more a cause of us not being able to keep possession than a victim.
And all of Brazils forwards play in the champions league except richarlison and probably Raphina. Yet he still is in starting 11 more often than not.
Yes he does lose the ball, but there’s much worse culprits than him. DCL. Gray, Allan, doucoure, Coleman, holgate, Keane, Godfrey. Basically we have a team that can’t keep the ball
The other thing though is that teams might have to back off if he were a real threat in space or running in behind. He isn't and so they press more freely.
Thankfully they also can't defend, pass or score.
You could argue teams more likely to double up on him as he’s the biggest threat, surrounded by not much. When you have 2 other richarlison’s and maybe 2 even better it’s not so easy to double up on him
Why? And no. Out of all their forward players, he’s the absolute last I’d want. One trick pony who’s worse at finishing than Tony Fishman Hibbert
Nor factually or actually is it true.
Maybe he's a favourite of the coach, I don't know.
I doubt he regrets it at all. He’s crap at his job now and still makes boatloads of money each week while somehow still staying in and around the German national team based only on his old reputation. The man has a good life.
Disagree. I think he has a lot to his game, but needs to improve as well.
I wouldn't mind being proved wrong. He's a very likeable lad.
Because I still don't believe he went from an average finisher at RBL to the worst shooter in world football over one summer. He still gets bucket loads of good shots off and scares the crap out of teams with his pace. I just think there is huge boom potential even if there is also major bust potential. We need to take a risk here and there.
