I've seen him cross a ball very well with both feet. He's learned a few tricks. Reality is that Liverpool, Man United and Man City are looking at him with wolves rumoured to be looking for £90m city and united have been awful in recruitment that last few years, so a link with them means absolutely nothing.

Shukes 4,452 Posted October 27, 2020 Report Share Posted October 27, 2020 Reality is we can’t afford him at the moment. If he moves he is going to a rich club. We’re getting there, but not there yet. For me Traore would be a great addition, but too much money for us to spend. And, do we really need him right now? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dunlopp9987 534 Posted December 20, 2020 Report Share Posted December 20, 2020 Let me start with saying, he clearly is one of the most important players we have, as his three match ban showed us. His work rate is outstanding (I could do with less of the dramatic flopping) and he's got a bite to him that is much needed in the side. However, I was just looking at the MOTM thread, and he only has 7 votes all season. For perspective, only 3 players have less votes than him, and Nkounkou has 17 more votes than him. Why do we think that is? Is it because he does the dirty work of running and tracking back? As Wiggy mentioned above, his finishing has been pretty poor recently (his goal against Leicester was more of a keeper error) and he seems to be lacking that final pass as of late. Is this a slight worry or just the natural ebb and flow of a season, where he'll eventually put it all together to be the player we know he can be? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

markjazzbassist 3,162 Posted December 20, 2020 Report Share Posted December 20, 2020 As @Hafnia has said before (not trying to steal the credit here) Richarlison is our Firmino. Rarely gets the MOTD highlights, but he is the reason everyone else is doing well. He is selfless, his work rate and pressing, dragging defenders with his runs, and aerial ability make him a threat which gives other the opportunity to have a mismatch and score.

There are times when he will run through brick walls and there are other times when he is sulking like a teenage girl. Whilst they might be 10 minutes apart during the game, you can at least guarantee that at some point in the game, he will get stuck in. He is definitely not consistent on the ball either. He isn't Iwobi level inconsistent but he has moments when he is and then others when he looks like a world beater. Like Shukes says, he manages to hit plenty of 6's or 7's after the 90 minutes but during the game itself it is more often than not a bit of a roller-coaster ride!

A agree and hope your right, but he looks totally disinterested at the moment, doesn’t try to take on the full back down the line, just runs into blind alleys, and didn’t track back as much last night as he usually does.

Bailey 4,949 Posted January 2 Report Share Posted January 2 I think he has just lost his form and confidence following quite a few missed games. It all makes his sending off against Liverpool even more frustrating. It would also appear that these dips are a part of his game. He did it for Watford, he has done it for us at some stage each season too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gwlad all over 566 Posted January 3 Report Share Posted January 3 Wonder if covid is having an effect, family can't come over even if they want to, possibly the same for other overseas players. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
