Tottenham Hotspur‘s recent Champions League draw against Monaco has sparked debate, particularly around the performance of one player. The 0-0 result saw the current Spurs boss achieve a milestone, but the focus quickly shifted to individual contributions. French media outlet L’Equipe delivered a scathing assessment, igniting further discussion among fans and pundits alike. Richarlison performance is under scrutiny after the match.
L’Equipe rates Richarlison after Tottenham’s Champions League draw
L’Equipe published player ratings following the Tottenham versus Monaco match. Richarlison received a rating of 3/10. This was the lowest score given to any player in the game. The publication highlighted his ineffective performance as a key factor in the low rating.
Several other players also received underwhelming scores. Mohammed Kudus, Archie Gray, Lucas Bergvall, and Rodrigo Bentancur each received a 4/10. Guglielmo Vicario, meanwhile, earned an 8/10 for his performance. The goalkeeper was named Man of the Match after saving multiple shots.
Richarlison’s recent form for Tottenham
Richarlison began the season strongly, scoring twice against Burnley. One of the goals was a memorable overhead kick. However, his form has since dipped significantly. The Brazil international has scored only once in the subsequent 12 games.
His performance against Monaco was particularly poor. Richarlison had just 20 touches in 70 minutes. He completed only six passes and lost possession eight times. Furthermore, he only managed one shot, which was blocked. The statistics paint a clear picture of his struggles on the pitch.
Calls for change in Tottenham’s attack
Following the Monaco match, some are suggesting a change in Tottenham’s attacking lineup. There are calls for Randal Kolo Muani to receive a full debut. This comes in response to Richarlison’s ineffective display. Former Tottenham player Glenn Hoddle also wants him dropped.
The concern revolves around Richarlison’s overall impact on the team. His lack of goals and general involvement in the game are worrying signs. The current manager now faces a decision on whether to stick with the Brazilian or explore other options in attack.
The spotlight is now on the current Spurs boss to address the team’s attacking concerns. The question remains: will he make changes to the lineup, and can the team find a way to improve their scoring form? The next few games will be crucial in determining the path forward.
