Today’s Football 2019/20 Season

You know when they suggested they cut the games down from 45 mins to 30 mins, why didn't we take up that option?

 

[ForeverBlue92]

Hes a centre forward and a heck of a good one

I honestly dont think he is - people think because he can score goals and has a good header on him it makes him a proper No9 but he's much more suited out wide where he plays for Brazil.

If he was a proper no9 he would play where Firmino/Jesus play

Firmino is definitely a 10.

Richarlison is a 9. Never a winger in a million years.

 

[tommytowne]

Soton not doing their goal difference any harm.

 

[TheBigIguana]

One team are playing competitive football. The other team are having a preseason friendly

I'm not really sure how that is the case when one needs to win to survive and the other is playing for nothing.

Norwich just aren't very good.

I agree with you there, I like him on the left because he absolutely bullies most right backs with his pace and strength, also drifting into the box gives him more chance of getting space for headers

 

[Zezti]

Yeah Norwich are still terrible.

In what world is Firmino a proper #9

 

[ChesterBlue]

Number 23 for Norwich is absolutely crud

 

[ForeverBlue92]

Firmino is definitely a 10.

Richarlison is a 9. Never a winger in a million years.

Hmmm so Richarlison plays out wide for:

Brazil
Watford
Half of last season for Everton

Scores a few goals in a 442 with DCL in 3 months - EEZ A NO 9 DOH LADZ

They are more than a yard off. They are completely unfit.

 

[ForeverBlue92]

He plays central for Brazil and Liverpool does he not?

Richarlison is more suited to the Mane/Salah role.

 

[TheBigIguana]

I agree with you there, I like him on the left because he absolutely bullies most right backs with his pace and strength, also drifting into the box gives him more chance of getting space for headers

There is certainly a case to be made for moving him back to a wider spot, just not in a 4-4-2. He can't be stationed that far away from the box.

Correct.

Glad we're on same page.

Richarlison is more suited to the Mane/Salah role.

I mean saying he is a proper #9 to me means he is old fashioned physical goal scorer. Firmino plays in the center forward spot but drifts a lot and is primarily a creator and not a scorer.
