    Sure, but the point RDZ was making was that even when him playing, it was our worst performance. I think he’ll stop engaging when he stops getting asked, but if he gets asked, he’s going to go to bat for the players that are registered and working to put it all together on the pitch. I don’t...

    Richarlison

    I can see a world where RDZ wants to nip these sorts of questions in the bud as otherwise he’s going to get asked about it every week. He’s clearly not yielding, and I don’t think he could yield even if he wanted to as the registration window is closed. I think the point he’s making around it...

    Richarlison

    Maybe RDZ went public on Richy’s indecisiveness because it was that exact sort of unseriousness which frustrated him and the club, and hampered their ability to do business with him earlier? And maybe that was why he was brought onto the tour? And why we let Lankshear go? I think a lot of the...

    Richarlison

    Maybe the players that we do have might started getting a bit annoyed with a prevailing narrative that Richy is the saviour of this team, when actually they just need the time to acclimate to this system? Maybe RDZ is protecting them by saying this?

    Richarlison

    Just depends how you see it I guess. I see a guy willingly going to socials to talk about not being pushed around anymore, not understanding why he isn’t selected, and I wonder why Danso and Romero, and Spence, and Brennan, and Vuskovic, and Vicario, how did they all find moves out of the club...

    Richarlison

    I don’t disagree with much of what you have said there. I too would rather he wasn’t training with us, and that there was some easier way out of the situation for him even now. I think that maybe the reason he is still supposedly training with the first team is to legally protect the club...

    You acknowledge yourself he is an emotional person…I mean this with the most sensitivity possible but I wonder how much leeway you can extend an emotional person before they have to take some responsibility for their actions? Unless you know something that isn’t public, we don’t know whether it...

    Roberto De Zerbi *OFFICIAL*

    I actually agree with you on the short term memories about Richy. He is good as a pure finisher, so sort of worked in Ange’s system as a striker, especially getting on the end of the Brennan cutbacks. Every time he’s been asked to hold up the ball, link play, make the right decision, do...

    We’re quite deliberately not focusing on the bottom line with Richy though are we? We’re making a sporting and culture based decision, impact on his value be dammed!

    Richarlison

    Completely agree with you. ‘Sending a message’ is not a worthless thing. It’s a critical thing to establish behaviour and expectations among the squad and it will pay off long term, I also think your Kane example is a fantastic one. So many people are saying we’re ’losing goals’ with Richy...

    Richarlison

    He’s clearly a decent human but he’s also taking to social to undermine the manager and the club. I agree with @Muttley, I’m not following why Spurs fans aren’t more behind the club here, and instead backing a player who said he wanted to leave.

    Come on mate it’s 5 games with a pretty clear pattern of improvement in every single one!

    Mathys Tel

    I think this is just incorrect, there’s plenty of examples of him beating his man already this season. He’s pretty skilful. I feel like Marmoush is more confident and assertive with his dribbling but Tel definitely has it. Overall, I’m not going to judge any attacking player until it’s clear...

    ***OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Liverpool***

    I agree. For someone that is supposedly so highly rated, who we were willing to let our England international go for as we had cover, who we have made one of our captains, he had a dreadful game last night and needs to be better. The Gakpo thing was just ridiculous, all the time in the world to...

    Roberto De Zerbi *OFFICIAL*

    I think we’ll get there, and aren’t too far off. I agree on tempo. I see it coming together but still being inconsistent, like the players don’t seize the opportunity to exploit space where it opens up. Gray I thought had a terrible game (and side note, it concerns me that he is our back up...

    Roberto De Zerbi *OFFICIAL*

    We missed two literal tap ins with Kudus and Bergval and lost to a worldly, another excellent finish outside the box, and what I can generously describe as loose defending by Gray to allow Gakpo all the time on his stronger foot to pick out a finish. All to say, I think if you watch this game...

    Richarlison

    Agreed. I hope it does. I just said Christmas because I didn’t know exactly how many international breaks and how many actual games there would be beforehand. But if we say it took Brighton about 6 games to click, and that was on the foundation of Potter playing a not entirely different style...

    Richarlison

    Sure. I don’t think it’s coincidence either. But I think it’s just confidence and cohesion with the system. If we get to Christmas and the players still aren’t delivering with it when at other clubs they’ve picked it up more quickly, then I’ll definitely be worried.

    Richarlison

    My biggest thing that I have been consistent with ever since we sacked Poch is the culture that he created allowed the whole to be greater than the sum of the parts. But there were steps he took early doors to establish that, and it does take being a little bit controversial or creating some...

    Richarlison

    I simply think that when the team clicks in attack we will start scoring goals and they will be spread around. RDZ has repeatedly talked about different players being capable of getting 10-15 goals and that’s clearly what he’s aiming for. I think the system will ultimately create that. I don’t...
