Not necessarily but I'm just explaining why computer generated scores are what they are.

I do enjoy his skill, work ethic and the fact he'll at least elevate the attractiveness of the football of any team he plays for, but it seems if Richarlison and Sigurdsson haven't got their shooting boots on, we have absolutely zero ruthlessness in front of goal with today being a great example.

The moment where he cut inside and had an opening to shoot, but tried a (difficult to execute) reverse ball to Digne which went out for a goal kick summed up his final product for me. Palace had players back, so it of course could have been blocked, but it was a chance to get a shot away and possibly sneak one in or spawn a deflected goal. If the alternative is so low percentage and requires another pass (and DCL to anticipate it...) to score, why not just have a go? Richarlison hits that without thinking and got well into double figures last season as a result. Mane and Salah at Liverpool are the same.

Come on lad
A computer generated score?

If You've sat there today and thought gylfi or Richarlison had a better game then Bernard then you haven't got a clue

Is the correct answer.

Lets leave stats and watch the players with our eyes. Siggy slows the tempo down, he has a cracking shot but he was poor today.

I thought Richarlison and Bernard had similar performances but Richarlison had multiple shots and almost scored. Gylfi had a shot cleared off the line. It isn't that ridiculous to think they did more.

So because Richarlison had a shot that went wide he had a better game?

The only team that can win a game without shooting is the RS.

 

[TheVelourFog]

always goes for the low-percentage moves and doesnt quite pull them off

hasnt convinced me at all that he should be starting

would be useful off the bench

I'm not saying I like it. You can know how things work that you don't agree with.

 

[TheAlmightyFloater]

A couple of good moments and a few frustrating ones too.

Looks like he'll just be that type of player

But that doesn't answer my question

You're saying Richarlison had a better game because he had a shot that went wide. That is daft mate

We had no problem keeping the ball. We had a lot of problems getting shots and chances. So yes I'm saying the people that actually got shots away had better attacking games. Coleman was also more effective than Digne and since Bernars always gets credit for Digne doing well Richarlison gets some credit for that.

On bench now.

He should have a go or cross when he held the ball in their box. Doesn’t do enough attacking wise.

 

[Boss_Blue]

When did these absolute crushing bores become so prolific with their posts?

Oh hello.

 

[tim cahill]

I'm only talking about today though.

I'm talking about what's best for the team going forward.

 

[Toffe3m4n]

Our best attacking player today I thought. Still sloppy at times though.
