Richarlison coming off. Doing himself no favours today in convincing the heirachy that we shouldn’t consider signing another striker.
Perisic and Hojbjerg coming on. We've started the second half terribly, so that's not a surprise. Richarlison and Sarr going off. Traore and Anthony on for Kluivert and Christie for Bournemouth.
This is not easy for the manager. If he takes him off it further damages his confidence, if he leaves him on he digs a deeper hole.
I was about to type Richarlison to score and get 2nd yellow for removing his shirt but Ange blocked it
That ball in behind with the outside of the foot by Perisic is really nice. Great work by Udogie. Brave and skilful play.
Yes but it's about the team and future performances not just today. It's one of the most difficult tricks of management IMO.
I'd like to see Perisic and Richarlison on the pitch at the same time at some point. I get the feeling he'd benefit from some decent crosses into the box.
