nogs 1,231 Report post Posted December 3, 2019 The stuff about sweating blood for the club and putting his life on the line ticks a lot of Toffees fans boxes. 😊 We need a lot more of that. If he could see his way to standing up to a few more challenges from centre backs he might end up making a decent CF! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Palfy 1,947 Report post Posted December 3, 2019 Great news, but I can’t help thinking was he sort of promised that Silva was going nowhere, because it’s no secret he only joined us because of his respect for Silva. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

badaids 406 Report post Posted January 12 I thought he was as brilliant yesterday, not just the goal. He was all over the pitch; if he couldn’t run round it, he’d run through it, if he couldn’t do that he’d run after it. 1 Wiggytop reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aidan 1,544 Report post Posted January 12 8 hours ago, Romey 1878 said: His finish yesterday was as good as it gets really. Absolute top quality. Not many can do that. The ball was practically under his feet when he struck it too, surprised he could bend it in. For whatever flaws he might have he is by far the best fnisher in the box for us. I do however prefer him on the wing as more of a wide forward, his tracking back is much more effective there. If we can either get Kean to start taking his chances or get a natural goal scorer in, coupled with a proper out and out winger on the right (someone of the same style of James for United) we can start to make waves up front. At the minute we are relying heavily on goals from Richt and Dom, we need another striker to take the pressure off them and a physical box to box CM who can chip in every now and then (like a doucoure). 1 barryj reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I couldn't disagree more about his position. He plays the 2nd striker role so well, he hasn't had a bad game behind DCL yet. He comes back and helps out and still covers the wing too. He made the most tackles or something like that at the weekend. Out wide he is hamstrung by only being able to dribble one way and he isn't a creative player as such, not like Bernard is and therefore moves can break down with him wide because he tends to dribble first and pass second. At the moment he has that position nailed down and I would rotate Kean with DCL ahead of him who both appear to be players that want to lead the line and don't contribute as much in the build up.

I know it's got mixed opinions, but I really see him as a wide forward and think he's more effective there. I'm not saying I want him to dribble past 4 people, I know he rarely has that in his game, but he can find more space out wide when attacking the box and beat full backs in the air. 1 pete0 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can see him in a 433 where he drifts inside and the full back provides the width. So something like: Coleman, Mina, Holgate, Dinge Iwobi, Davies, Gambin Richarlison, DCL, Bernard 2 Aidan and pete0 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If he’s the best finisher we have in the box then why put him on the wing where he’ll get in the box less?! Bonkers! He tracks back well as the 2nd striker regardless. What we need is a better wing option so Richarlison doesn’t need to cover that position and he can stay where he’s most dangerous - in the box. 2 DavisJD and markjazzbassist reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He's able to get into the box from a wide position. Salah, sterling, rashford, mane are all very adept finishers... you don't have to play centrally to score goals. Ronaldo has made a living out of scoring from the left flank (not that I'm comparing). I don't think people understand what I'm saying. I don't want him as an orthodox winger, in that case he would be better off in the centre. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So something like: Coleman, Mina, Holgate, Dinge Iwobi, Davies, Gambin Richarlison, DCL, Bernard The problem is he barely passes to the full back. I think the wide player and full back need to have a strong relationship with each other and the only stroganoff relationship I have seen with Richarlison is alongside DCL. 38 minutes ago, c1982 said: If he’s the best finisher we have in the box then why put him on the wing where he’ll get in the box less?!

He wants to score goals so put him in a position to do so! 25 minutes ago, Aidan said: He's able to get into the box from a wide position.

I get the second paragraph but you can't say about Ronaldo scoring goals in this post and then about Richarlison tracking back in the original. Ronaldo never tracks anyone and never has, he is on the team to score goals only, whereas Richarlison will put himself about for the team. Even Salah, Sterling and to some extent Mane are all the finishers. They don't track back as much as we would make Richarlison do, partly of course because we don't have the possession those sides do (yet). The bottom line for me is that the best I have seen him play is alongside DCL. If we are going to play 442 then that is where he should play. If we play 433 then I agree its up for debate.

I was more referring to the fact that a teams biggest goal threat doesn't have to play centrally. His goals against wolves, Southampton, City, Leicester are all good examples of why I think he's best suited to drifting inside from the flank. Either getting a run on the centre half or challenging against the full back. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
