Weird guy
Richarlison might be one of the most clownish footballers to ever play the game.
Devastating coming from one of the league’s most feared forwards. (If those comments are even real)
Richarlison better pray Gabi doesn’t see those messages. The last thing he wants is both Batman and Bane as enemies.
That’s a parody account, i know it’s getting harder and harder to find the difference between truth and “attempted” humor on the internet but this one is clearly obvious
Yeah, he’s clearly capable of being excellent in the press and out of possession phases
It dropped off last season but I suspect that’s due to Amorim leaving
There shouldn’t be a drop off in that aspect of our game when he finally takes the mantle
Someone pointed that earlier. We were were very good already with winning possession (stealing the ball) in final third, but were quite poor in making that count in terms of creating a direct chance after that or scoring it.
Gyokeres will improve both those areas, but especially the later one since he thrives when he has some space to attack when the defence is on the wrong foot.
Many ofen highlight his questionable qualities vs a deep defence, hold up etc. As if we are always forced to play that way. While they massively underestimate how much he’ll automatically transform our attack, make it more direct and better at punishing the opposition when we win the ball.
And btw, not just with goals. His cut backs from both flanks are always on point (his signature sign almost). Also his final ball from other positions. He already had a very good number of assists at Sporting and I expect him to keep that here, if not even improve it considering how poor his team mates were at finishing many of the chances he created (a super high number for a striker, even if it’s a shit league).
If we get Eze, it means Saka and Gyokeres will get a lot more space because defending against them is a lot more difficult than when Martinelli and Havertz were our main attacking players and opposition sides were doubling up on Saka.
Anyone else? Getting a bit tired of that hands across the face shot. It’s as bad as Tross’ goggles.
NO! In fact I’m doing the celebration as soon as I’ve finished typing this message.
Never
How was his starting debut ? Seeing only 14 touches in 63 mins ? He do anything good ?
Absolute grabage but he got hardly any service.
Saka and Martinelli seemed reluctant to pass to him
It was crap but the whole attack was shite by the time he was subbed
The platform for him in the game was non-existent
But he didn’t drop deep either to link with midfielders. He was poor and this is hardly surprising. A lot will be disappointed with the signing.
