Maureen The tweet copy describes what Richy does that people don't notice.

He makes selfless runs that create space.

And he works really hard when doing it. Against bigger teams, that kind of stuff is what makes the system work

Another CF that did that a lot was Firminho. Created lots of space for the wide forwards to capitalise on.

Liverpool fans, as insufferable as they are, recognised this and loved him for it, despite him not weighing in with anywhere near as many goals as Mane and Salah.

Out fans would rather crucify our own player for doing the same thing.

Well, the dopey ones that is.

Exactly

If the team plays better with a player in it and you aren't sure why, it means you don't know something. Not that you do know that player isn't good.
 
Correct but pushed too far so he has no justification in being disappointed we conceded as we did.
He was disappointed that we conceded late, but mostly because he was hoping we could hold on to the result, in spite the tiredness. He said himself he didn't make too many subs and the team was tired in the end as a result. You're reading too much into this.

Lol Richarlison is nowhere near as good or creative as Firmino. He was brilliantly technical and actually created chances, he wasn’t just Brazil’s answer to Shane Long.
 
And yet he benched him.

Yeah, after Firmino declined massively. Peak Firmino was a much better footballer than Richarlison and was starting for Brazil. I mean you know that right? We all know that so I dunno what we're even arguing here.

Richarlison has none of his play-linking ability. The only similarities are pressing and nationality.

No I'm not, I'm reading exactly what happened and what he admitted to.

May be although it looked a run he made expecting the ball. Would have offside😀
Anyway he needs to do so much more if his going to take over Kane.

Spot on ! Also his goal scoring recurs was actually pretty good. Further he was great at assist. Not seen anything g like that from rich.
What’s more dippers had mane and salah who would get 20 plus goals and not all were bcos of a selfless run by Bobbi. We don’t have wide players who are gonna get any where near those numbers the way we play. The main goal scoring will have to be done by the CF. Whose Mai job will be to finish off attacking moves. Bit like lane did v shaktar.

You really have no clue whatsoever how AP sets his team's up to play.

You really need to do your own research instead of parroting other posters who haven't got a Scooby either.

Patently incorrect.

Ange has always set his teams up to create a goal threat from all areas. You don't need 30 goals from a CF if you have a couple of midfielders in double digits.

Fuck me, 5 minutes watching any of our pre-season games tells you that. Oliver fucking Skipp got a brace against Barcelona.
