Mer patetisk fra Ange. Skal vi gi han til slutten av oktober før han er ute? Vi som fans kan ikke godta at han kun er et talerør for Levy.
Ange Postecoglou was happy to hit back at claims that Richarlison’s early struggles are a sign of things to come:
🗣️“We’re two games in, mate, come on! Jeez, you love the big call, don’t ya! I never live in that kind of moment where I judge things that quickly. I get why others do. I get it, he should be on six goals, top goalscorer in the league.”
🗣️”Everyone said, ‘look he’s going to replace Harry, he’s going to score more goals’. But you don't know at this point how many goals he’s going to end up at the end of the year. I thought he played really well.”
🗣️”He was a really good link-up for us, especially in the second half when we had the ascendancy. If you look back at the passages of play, he was an important part of that.”
🗣️”Holding the ball up, playing out wide, being a real presence in the box, I thought he was unlucky on a couple of occasions. It’s come off the crossbar, a couple of scrambles, on another day it falls for him and he scores. He’s in those areas.”
🗣️"If he has gone 20 games without a goal, yeah for sure I will have a discussion! But not after two games!”
🗣️”There is always a point but usually there is reasoning behind it. If Richy was playing for another Premier League team and scoring between 10 and 15 goals last season, like he did at Everton, people will say why don't you go and sign Richarlison?”
“He is a proven Premier League player, but he is here. I don’t look at it through the lens of last season, I just look at it through the lens of now."
