He wont change though, and this will end up costing him his place at Spurs imo.He's one big emo guy. I always said I feel he takes things too emotionally - putting Neymar's face as a tattoo on his back straight after the WC was a prime example of that. Who the hell will do that.
Criticising Conte in his interview immediately after the match and acting petulant yesterday after he was subbed when the team was winning, against United, just didn't sit well with me at all. Lacks maturity all round despite being 26 already.
He needs to let his pent-up emotions go, stop worrying and trying so hard, and he will come good. Otherwise I am not so sure TBH after 10 games in.
Nobody expected Kane but he seemed to have difficulty controlling the ball and holding it up.I think people are being really harsh on him. I thought he worked really hard. He's not going to be Kane and never will be.
But I think he is also likely to to get the ugly goals and offer that arial threat when needed. We’ve been used to having a technical all round CF and Richy isn’t thatMy only issue with him is he is very technically erratic. In and around the box we've been used to Kane being able to trap balls at pace and get a shot off for years so with Richarlison it's going to take time to see the ball bounce off him or him react slowly to get a shot off and be accustomed to the drop off.

Maybe Toney would be great for us but you’re literally basing it on one good season. The season before he scored 12. The rest of the time he’s been in the Championship and lower.
People need to get used to our #9 playing differently in this system than the way Harry has done for the past few years. No more dropping deep and not as involved in the build up play. Ange wants him in an around the box and making runs to draw defenders. Rewatch the game yesterday and Richy is in some really good positions. On 2-3 occasions if Onana spills Richy was there to pounce. On the Sarr goal, he is the one who made a run to draw the defenders to him to allow space for Sarr to run into. Sonny should have rolled it to Richy instead of shooting in that 2nd half chance. The goals will come.
And you are speaking as is if Richarlison joined this summer ?Should we pass judgement on him after two matches? Seriously,
of you are just looking for a scapegoat regardless if we’re playing well. You’re talking like he had a disastrous display last night, which just isn’t true.
Richy has shown he can score goals in a poor Everton team and he does it regularly for Brazil. Those merits have earned him the right to make that number 9 spot his own.
By all means I’m all for boosting our forward line but don’t write players off after the season has hardly started.
I wouldn’t say ‘son is done on the wing’ but he doesn’t suit this style as much and is on a bit of a decline.I agree Son is done on the wing, but he can't hold the ball up and he can't occupy defenders physically. I don't think I've seen him compete for headers more than a handful of times.
I think Son is basically on a sharp decline now and Richi just isn't a great fit.
IMO we need a top CF in ASAP.
This was always going to be the issue regardless of who our starting striker was going to be after Kane, unfortunately. The comparisons will always be there even when they do different things for the team.He's not going to be Kane and never will be.
