I hope he's out for a lot less time than the three weeks going round because while Richarlison may fancy himself as a striker, he's anything but. Well, certainly not a main striker, he's more of a supporting act.

definitely, he was unable to fill DCL shoes and think once he is up to speed, Rondon would be a better focal point of the attack if DCL is out, with Richy back in his more normal role.

I think that is a bit harsh on Richy. Our initial system isolated him badly and as soon as he had support he went on to play well as a central striker. I imagine he was pissed off being subbed because he had toiled for 60 minutes, finally gets some help and then gets hooked.

I would give him another 90 minutes in that position with the support he had in the second half to see how he gets on. Afterall, Dom has been largely on the periphery himself in those first games.

Totally agree. Monday night showed that we need someone tough up front.

We got bullied for a long time Monday night. Richarlison hardly got a touch up front and Mina was getting bullied like a school playground until we scored. Dom would have gave them some physicality back!

He was playing a training match on the Friday before we played Burnley then turned out to be out for another 3 weeks minimum.

hopefully on his way back though. Would be great to have him for Utd

If, please not the full 90 minutes though, don't rush him back.
