Player Watch Player Watch: Richarlison

[hughy]

Couldn't wait to see him sent off could he, what a twat.

"Ohh wait it was his shoulder."


Yes Gary, everyone else could see that from the first two replays.

 

[ernie78]

Thought he made a huge difference when he came on.

If he can stay fully fit I’d like to see: him,son,Johnson for rest of the season

I saw some stats (will have to find them) that our win percentage and points gained is much better when he starts.
yesterday we played so much better as soon as he came on.
I think people miss what he does on the pitch as they focus on his goal scoring. He brings so much more to the team.

When he isn’t in the team our front line is so predictable and weak, must be a dream for the opposition defence knowing they can sit deep and we will still look for the perfect tap in goals

 

[bigfrooj]

He needs to start against Chelsea and Son has to play on the left wing. Son had a bad game yesterday but looked a lot better as a winger. Johnson has to play on the right meaning that Kulusevski plays central, with Sarr and Holjbjerg in midfield. Richarlison is the key to those changes being possible. Being a shithouse will be a big plus in a game like this too.

 

[rossdapep]

Yeah Son has to go back to the wing, especially against teams that are sitting deeper.

This feels like an emotional Neville not wanting City to win it. How can you look at that and scream that he has to go for a headbut?

This was so stupid from Richarlison btw and no idea why people on twitter are praising him for that. Lost momentum just after scoring, allowed them to take off Odegaard for Kiwior and ended with 2 dangerous corners for them

Two defenders tried to block him when he doesn't have the ball following the kick off. Arsenal does borderline shit like that all the time and if you avoid the physical battle you tell the ref that their behaviour is acceptable.

You can see the ball goes passed the defender yet he's only got eyes for Richarlison!!

So what do we do with him then?

For me when he's fit it is clear that our best front 3 are Son LW, Richy ST and Johnson RW however I think we need to add another top striker signing this summer and another top WF signing, ideally I'd like to do that on top of keeping Richy who would be a fantastic squad option and his mentality and fight are what we need...

However if we don't have the budget for that and a top CDM etc then perhaps it might be best to sell Richy to Saudi and bring in 2x top strikers this summer if we can get creative with our budget.

If the money is there then more than happy to keep him, just need him to stay fit more often.

Play Hjobjerg... Are you being serious?

Keep him for me. I wasnt a fan until post operation but he's got bollocks and wants it more than a lot of the others.

Get him fit and give him a good run at it

Much like Son I doubt Richy is interested in going to Saudi, especially given how unhappy a lot of the big signings have been this past year. The only person who seems happy there is CRonaldo and that's because they're giving him masses of extra leeway.

Agree in theory but then he's one of our few saleable assets

 

[UncleBuck]

He doesn’t strike me as the kind of character who would want to play out there. All well and good saying sell him to Saudi but I don’t see any serious pro in their peak years wanting to go there now.
Don’t see why we’d even contemplate selling him when technically he’s our only number 9 as well, needs a proper run up top with Son back in the left where he belongs.

We're a football club you should sell players based on their quality and fit in the team not their resale value.

Romero, porro, van de ven, doggie, Son, Kulusevski all have sale value but none should be sold.

This is why I am anti Richarlison. Just wasted precious times with these antics when we are trying to get a result. Seems to lack a lot of know how on game management.

 

[GutBucket]

He will get you 10-15 goals every season if semi-healthy. It's not bad plus he works hard defensively. We should sell for the right price but otherwise he's a good squad player to have.

 

[Ron Burgundy]

This is an important point for me. I like the guy generally. He had a good patch for sure, he works hard, he seems a good character. But...

He's a squad player, and hasn't shown, consistently, that he should be more.

Personally, if we can get a good fee for him this summer, he's exactly the type of player we should look to sell and reinvest the proceeds.

 

[CookieYiddo]

Love having him in the squad. He will score double digits every season, he also has an aggression and determination that I love to see personally.
