It might sound odd to say that our high scorer this season can also be our weakest hyperlink, however such is the boldness at Spurs proper now that even our worst performer remains to be delivering – form of.
Richarlison stumbled via our Champions League sport towards Villarreal final week and, aside from his equaliser towards on Saturday, our quantity 9 was largely ineffective for many of that match as nicely.

Regardless of the occasional spectacular overhead end, Richarlison has been a thorn within the facet of my Spurs fandom for fairly a while now. A helpful participant when he’s injury-free and stuffed with confidence, but all too usually the Brazil worldwide fails to really impress on a constant foundation.
In earlier seasons, this is able to have a been a major concern. Nonetheless, with Dominic Solanke hopefully coming back from damage quickly and Randal Kolo Muani solely ignored on the weekend because of a lifeless leg, there are significantly better choices on the horizon for Thomas Frank.
Whereas the fan in me needs we had offered Richarlison a very long time in the past, the coach in me has to concede that it is sensible to deploy him as an understudy to keep away from burnout for our foremost stars.
Refreshingly for Spurs, centre-forward is just not the one place the place we’ve got energy in depth this season.

Whereas Djed Spence has carried out a primary England cap-worthy stint at left-back, it was nice to see Future Udogie wanting virtually again to his greatest on Saturday.
I would not say we’ve got a humiliation of riches in midfield simply but, however we definitely have an abundance of choices for Frank to experiment with.
Our supervisor must get the steadiness proper between consistency and rotation – if he can, he would possibly simply get the very best out of everybody this season.
What do you reckon? Is Richarlison under-appreciated or is he solely a squad participant at greatest?
