Richarlison’s performances this season have drawn harsh criticism.
The Brazilian international was expected to step up and fill the void left by Harry Kane this season but it has clearly not worked out for him so far.
The 26-year-old has not been able to live up to the expectations since his big-money move from Everton last summer and his performance against Luton Town was quite poor.
Former Premier League midfielder Jamie O’Hara has now revealed that the Brazilian is simply not good enough to play for the north London club. Richarlison has never been a prolific goalscorer throughout his Premier League career but his overall footballing ability makes him a useful option to have.
Richarlison is not up to par. I’ve concluded that he simply isn’t good enough,” he said on talkSPORT.
We were fortunate to have someone who could score since you can see the opportunities he missed today. But what he actually did was put pressure on the Spurs. When we could have ended the game in the first 10 minutes, he added pressure.
However, the player’s current lack of confidence and mental acuity makes him a burden for his team.
Tottenham needs to acquire attackers in the upcoming months, so it’s unclear if Richarlison will be replaced when the transfer window opens in January.
The Brazilian is obviously having a hard time right now and is going through a difficult time. It could be a good idea to remove him from the spotlight so he can rebuild his confidence on the practice field.
Without a question, the 26-year-old can play a significant role for Tottenham in the upcoming seasons, but given that he currently appears to be a shell of his former self, it would be sensible to remove him from the firing squad.
