To be fair to Richy, I think in 3-4-3 he isn't suited to the left forward role. I actually feel he was bought in to act more as cover for Kane but due to the injuries to Son and Kulu he has had to fill in a lot more. Would be good to see what he'd be like in 3-5-2 up front with Kane.

So now his not suited to leftvforward role. Originally he was bought to cover all 3 forward roles. He then played on the right in place of kulu and everyone said his prbly more suited to left forward and Sons competition. Now your saying left is not his best place. Didn’t he play a lot fir everyone on the left? When he plays down the middle everyone will say his not suited to the role.
Basically like someone else posted his not worth £60M and May be a tad disappointing. Still not sure why we bought him.

Conte said after the game he thinks the breakdown in us being able to defend as well is because he hasn’t had enough days on the training pitch to deal with tactics as playing every three days means there’s not as much time to work on things. Obviously if he has better players available to him than Sanchez and Dier then they’ll be able to keep it up tactically without the training pitch work.

His been here a few plus had ore season must have had enough time to work on this in training. Plus after we got knocked out of the FA cup we only had one game a week mainly. He always has some excuse. Howe has also been at bar codes same time.

Well he wasn't bought in to cover all three forward roles. He's never really played on the right at Everton, but had to to a job there since Kulu and Lucas was injured for us. I personally feel he's more suited to CF and we're yet to see him play there. Also, Everton and Spurs play pretty different styles with different managers who have different ideas so it's gonna take time for Richy to settle in especially with being injured too.

You can't jump into the keeper.

Lenglet impedes Meslier from punching the ball away, it's a foul.

Agree it’s a foul.

Though, I would say you can jump into the keeper if you play the ball or get higher than the keeper and don’t use your arms to hold the keeper. Lenglet doesn’t get close to the ball and clearly impacts Meslier’s punch. Clear foul.

If they are going to consistently let that go, every team will just put every corner on the keeper and have 5 players challenge him.

Royal will make some NFL team a fine punter some day.

...you overestimate Royal and underestimate the strategy and precision involved with the NFL punting game - it's not about kicking the ball indiscriminately far into row Z a la Andros Townsend...to wit:

"...Super Bowl LIII
[MVP] Winner
Julian Edelman became the second Patriots receiver to be named Super Bowl MVP when he delivered a superb performance with 10 receptions for 141 yards in a 13-3 win over the Los Angeles Rams...

Runners-Up
Super Bowl LIII was an incredibly strategic football game to watch. A talented offense versus a brilliant defense, resulted in a classic field position battle. Patriots punter Ryan Allen delivered the best performance of his career. He was forced to punt five times but for a total of 215 yards and a net average of 40.6 yards. Allen forced the high-powered Rams offense to start deep in their own territory three times without a touchback. Following Allen punts, the Rams started drives at their 6, 35, 2, 23, and 7-yard line. It may be unheard of for a punter to win MVP, but Allen had to be in the conversation..." (Super Bowl MVP Runners-Up | The Patriots Hall of Fame)

So far Royal is just working on distance. Once he has that down he can move on to accuracy. :)
