Okay you're really going to make me do this aren't you.
0:06 Correct - Marked tight by Dawson(?) another player closing
0:13 Nope - Market tight by Dawson, get shrugged off the ball too easily.
0:19 Nope - Poor first touch, mis controls the ball resulting in Wolves players regaining possession
All the other times he didn't have 2 or 3 Wolves players around him, watch it again.
Like - If you're seriously sitting there and telling me that players like Watkins or Toney or Solanke wouldn't have made more of those situations they you may as well give up watching football tbh because we all know that if they have a 3 on 3 they aren't offering up a tame shot whilst slipping on their arse.
Let me get this straight, you're actually justifying players making stupid fouls when they don't even need to...what are we even doing here?
What?
I don't know what you're on about, we officially have the best press in the league therefore we already make the game uncomfortable for the opponent, what would fouling do apart from relieving the pressure on the opps when they have the ball?
The point you keep wilfully missing is that outside of scoring his contribution isn't good enough and we can do better, being our central target man it's still his responsibility to make use of the ball and bring your team mates into play, that's the very least you can do when you're not scoring goals.
Maturing as an adult is realising that you can hold more than one schools of thought at the same time.
Like you can praise him for his hot streak which I have done multiple times in this thread but at the same time you can criticise when he has poor matches, that shouldn't be shocking or any extreme you want to use to the average person.
I don't care about you, I'm not asking you for your opinion and couldn't give a toss what you think. I'm the one who made the opinion about his performance and you took exception to it hence why we are having this stupid debate.
Yes everyone else had a poor game and that's why everyone else have their own threads
but we're in the Richarlison thread mate - that's literally what these threads are for, as much as we pour adulation on players when they play well, they are here to critique as well - this is not a fucking echo chamber.
This has nothing to do with mobbing up and picking on certain players either, quit the emotional shit.
For the record I didn't call him rank bad, I called his performance rank bad, there's a clear difference - it seems that you want to have a different argument to me here, if you want to debate whether he's good enough to be in this team then be my guest but my point all along is that I've been making an isolated argument about his performance against Wolves because it's a fact that it wasn't good enough.
The fact that you think I'm singling out Richy when I've said numerous times that not everything is on him tells me you're even trying to comprehend anything I say in my argument or you're just being an argumentative clown, probably the latter.
If you honestly watch that video and think that only a top class striker would have done better in the situations that Richy found himself in then we'll just leave it there - it's pretty clear that someone here accepts absolute mediocrity and has no interest in our club pushing onto the next level and it ain't me.
