Richarlison starting at CF

[KaiserEFC]

He’s class on the wing. We already have 3 players who pretend to be strikers we don’t need another.

DCL brace this weekend

Is he visiting the dentist ??

..not sure about this ‘Tosun lacks confidence’ argument. Tosun lacks quality.

Absolutely spot on.

..I think it’s a really important point. Richarlison is a potent wide player who finds himself in central attacking areas. He’s a threat where he is. Could be a bit daft nullifyying that strength.

Fair point. Perhaps though Lookman could play there while Rich is up top to mix things up when needed?

Would rather move Walcott up top than Richarlison if we're using a current wide man up front.

Walcott's got more minutes in the Premier League up front and that allows us to bring Bernard in without moving Rich from a position he's playing well in.

..it could work but you could easily lessen your main threat to give slight improvement centrally. I’m sure these are the things Silva is considering and maybe trying in training.

I ask myself a simple question; if I was a CB about to face Everton, who would I least fancy playing against. I would lose no sleep at the thought of Tosun and I would feel I could perhaps bully Richarlison. I think DCL would be a handful in terms of strength, pace and aerial power. He lacks quality but got some decent free kicks against Arsenal. DCL suits the system more but he’s not the answer in the long run.

Palace Watford Leicester wolves Bournemouth all in front of us and all we have played apart from arsenal is wolves Bournemouth Huddersfield Southampton and West Ham 12 th position after theses games is shocking. Another season written off. For those ready to slate me I spend my hard earned cash on etc so I’m entitled to my opinion

Another season written off? Please stop with the overreacting

It would mean Bernard being on the pitch ahead of DCL so it’s definitely worth a go.

That's the plus. The negative is it takes away a player who regularly gets into the box.

 

[Tennessee Blue Mike]

I wonder if Walcott would be the best to try next at the number 9? Richarlison is causing lots of havoc on the wing for us. If Bernard can regain full fitness slot him were Walcott was or even Lookman or even share the position until January.

 

[Pete Campbell]

Richarlison up front allows us to have our best 11 players on the park. The only downside is that we lose Richarlison as a left winger but we saw for Brazil that he is just as good up top so I'm all for giving it a go.

You mean DCL??

I agree. It worked out ok for Thierry Henry when Wenger moved him from the left wing. Not comparing the two btw but there are similarities
