Don Hutchison raves about Richarlison after Everton 1-1 Leicester
Don Hutchinson has praised Richarlison as the Brazilian scored in the dying minutes to earn Everton a crucial 1-1 draw against Leicester City.
The Brazilian missed two golden opportunities, one in each half and both from close range.
However, the perseverance paid off, as he scored from a deflected effort. It wasn’t a clean strike either, but the Toffees will take it.
The former Everton player and now a popular TV pundit, has suggested on Twitter that it’s a “massive” point for the Toffees.
Hutchison wrote: “Fair play to Richarlison tonight. He missed some absolute sitters but kept on going and got his reward!!! Massive point for Everton.”
Struggling
Truth be told, Richarlison struggled during the game.
It is a conundrum for Frank Lampard about how to use Richarlison. The Brazilian plays a striker for his national team where he is a decent scorer.
However, at Everton the scenario is different. Most of the time he chases shadows and the ball doesn’t come to him frequently.
He is not surrounded by players like Neymar or Philippe Coutinho to other Brazilian stars at the club level. Therefore, Lampard must find a way to involve him more in the game, where he gets more touches, can show more creativity and bring others into play.
Having said that, Richarlison has got loads of quality and he delivers on a constant basis. It was him who played a crucial role in the build-up to the goal against Manchester United at home.
Alongside Anthony Gordon and Alex Iwobi, he was a constant threat in the final few minutes of the game.
With Dominic Calvert-Lewin out injured, Lampard must chalk out a plan to get the best out of Richarlison.
In other Everton news, this “outstanding” striker has admitted he’s open to a loan exit as he looks for crunch talks with his agent.
