Brilliant @Everton win this morning, only dampened by some lazy and stereotypical commentary on Richarlison by a few pundits who obviously haven't watched many Everton games this year. @Reynolds_R @TheBlueRoomEFC @Paddy_Boyland
Will start with @morrisonclinton, who said that Richarlison doesn't run back. Looking at tackles made by forwards on @premierleague website...
20/21: Ranked 1st with 24 tackles, 8 more than 2nd place
19/20: Ranked 1st with 70 tackles
18/19: Ranked 2nd with 49 tackles
20/21: Ranked 1st with 24 tackles, 8 more than 2nd place
19/20: Ranked 1st with 70 tackles
18/19: Ranked 2nd with 49 tackles
Then Phil Neville has a crack saying Richarlison only plays well in August and the Spring. I compiled the numbers of Richarlison's two full seasons(18/19 and 19/20) at Everton and they paint a different picture to his comments.
