I think Kovacic immediately looked a level above pretty much all of the other players on the pitch when he came on yesterday. I'm pretty confident he'll cement that third spot pretty soon.
Really think Richarlison could be a very good centre forward: good body (tall, strong), pacey, wants to score and so works to get into good positions, work rate to press from the front... Edited: and good touch and dribble as well.
