I want to love the keepie-uppies, but feel like they way he passed the ball to a Forest player directly afterwards partly took away from them.

Obviously he won the ball straight back and drew a yellow card for Johnson, so not a bad outcome, but if you are going to take the piss, you shouldn’t lose the ball straight away.

Hopefully they’ll be working on that in training this week.

Absolutely brilliant impact every time he’s come on. He’ll do some damage once he starts games soon when our fixture pile up starts.

I hated him at Everton but loving him for us, his shithousing is funny if he’s your player, kick ups a bit unessercary against forest, 3-0 up against Arsenal mabye but I’m not too fussed by it.

Interesting when people said about Richy vs Jesus but really they’re different players and will play very different squad roles for each team but simply Richy looks to tick all the boxes we wanted, physical, work rate, hold up play, creativity, goal threat, competitive spirit, positional flexibility, well worth the money already with his impact and squad role so far, so refreshing having a player like him coming on rather than a Lucas ‘ineffective headless chicken’ Moura.

Love his confidence. Seeing how his shithousing and showboating makes people's piss boil is beautiful.

Maybe the best part of his assist - aside from winning the ball, and barging the defender down, and getting the ball back in the box, and using the outside of his boot to make the pass - is that he knew to make the pass at all.

True team player who understood the importance of getting the 2nd goal - more than trying to get his own low percentage shot off in that situation.

Lesser players would have tried the shot.

He is a real team player his team mates will love him.

Now I realise why so many people detest him. Need to phone Klinsmann and get some diving lessons. When Gazza did his ball juggling it was after he had done some decent stuff in the game and in the centre circle or in low key moments in the game.
Now you realise? Have you been living under a rock for the last however many seasons he was at Everton and Watford?

Like most of us, I love a shithouser- but it’s his physical presence and determination that we’ve been screaming out for for so long. He completely changes the dynamic when he’s on the pitch- a colossal nightmare fuckhammer for any team to deal with

Love him already, fucking effort and desire personified on a football pitch, and has the quality to pick out Kane with a fucking sublime cross with the outside of the foot?

He's like the Brazilian reincarnation off Lamela. Love it.

Absolutely. He's a shithouse but he's our shithouse. That ball to Kane with the outside of his boot was so good that my grandmother could have scored from there.

Obviously sky overlooked Neco Williams giving him some off the ball before the juggling (the reason Richarlison did it).

I love his shithousery.

Maybe a bit too much of the dark arts for my liking, however you can't defend kicking him up in the air (Tyler and Carragher tried to).

I'd much rather focus on the delicious cross that would be at home in de Bruyne's highlight reel and his over all work rate. Could easily have had a goal as well.

So Jamie Carragher moans about Richarlison “showboating” while justifying Brennan’s cynical scything of his legs. Richarlison spent a few seconds extra on the ball with some keepy-uppies before passing to a teammate - he wasn’t timewasting (the ball was in play), he was merely slowing the game down because we led the match and didn’t need to exert any particular haste.

If Forest players get wound up by it, that’s their own fault and it certainly doesn’t make reckless hacking acceptable. And I didn't notice any of our players feeling the need to go and hack Dean Henderson while he waved his hat around for 5mins after his Kane penalty save.

Conte not happy...

"I wouldn't want my players to do what Richarlison did," Conte said. "It wouldn't be accepted here."

No. That's what Cooper said, not Conte
Fuck me, can this shit-rag excuse of a 'news' paper get anything right? Cooper NOT Conte, dickheads.
