I would agree that tactically Richarlison is one of our worst players.

The problem is when we play slow pass out from the back football with the whole opposition ahead of you and the defence set. That never suits Richarlison. He needs to play on the last defender of be running into space.
The idea that we should be selling him is mad. What we need to do is work on DCL and Richarlison developing more of a partnership. He is a great player who needs more support.
He puts in an enormous amount of effort, tracks back and defends and wins a lot of free kicks. We need threat on the other side of the pitch and creativity in the middle, not selling one of our best.

My definition of a natutal footballer must be upside down.
To me, this is like saying that Inzaghi is a more talented player than Bergkamp.
I’d say Richarlison is naturally athletic but not naturally talented. I would say naturally talented players are like Ronaldinho or Messi types where the ball just sticks to them and you know they never trained as hard as other pros

Yes mate, Richarlison has more natural talent than James Rodriguez
James must have developed those skillsets when he was 19 playing for Porto...or perhaps playing mens football at 16
Yet he is the one forward player who manages to slot into position within defensive phases...you know, following the managers 'tactical' defensive instructions.

No mate, Richarlison has more "natural talent" than James Rodriguez...in a parallel dimension

This page is weird.... Richarlison lacks tactical awareness now I see.
Have you been watching James with your eyes closed? His first touch is magical, that is most definitely something which is not a ‘developed skill set’, likewise his ability to see the big picture, or, as you say, ‘his vision’, is also something that can not be coached into a player.
I don’t know if you have played much football, but, James is miles ahead of Richarlison for natural ability. Anybody who has played the game will tell you, there are some things you just can’t coach into a player.
…it’s a bit of a nothing statement. Not many players in the PL have the natural ability of Rodriguez, he’s capable of doing things others can’t. Saying that, it’s about being effective & I’d much prefer to see Richarlison in our starting line up than Rodriguez.

Richarlison just needs to get his head in the right place. Hopefully Benitez can do that, because Ancelotti certainly couldn't.
I agree mate. I’d rather have an inform richarlison in the squad than anyone else. Unplayable at times, just didn’t seem himself last season.
Depending on post Richarlison is either one of our best or one of our worst, a talisman or a hindrance, a really good kid or a horrible moody bell and worth between 40 to 100 million which we should or should not accept.

Don’t think he will be effective this season either. No time off last year due to Covid then straight to Copa America and now direct to the Olympics, he will need time off after it.
