Supporters of Everton have slated Richarlison following the defeat to Liverpool in the third round of the FA Cup.
The clash at Anfield transpired to be an embarrassing one for the Toffees, due to the Reds’ second-string lineup claiming a 1-0 win (per BBC), which led fans to fume over their Brazilian ace.
Richarlison by the way. Seems immune to criticism because he is our biggest goal threat but his contribution to general play at times is poor, really poor. #EFC

His all round game blows so hot and cold. His goals cover over a lot of his inconsistencies

overrated

Is Richarlison overrated for Everton or is it just a knee-jerk reaction?No, it's just a knee-jerk reaction
Yes, he's not as good as thought |
This term, the 22-year-old attacker has featured in 26 games for the Toffees, in which he has bagged nine goals and assisted four (per Transfermarkt).
The £54-million rated star has a 7.15/10 average rating for the season (per Whoscored), proving his capability. But he only received a rating of 3/10 from the Liverpool Echo, so there’s an obvious improvement to be had.
Can Richarlison ever get the ball out of his feet?!

I’d sell him to United.

Journeymen. No heart

First touch awful and attitude stinks

Lad that’s just the agenda group, whenever everyone plays shit they get targeted. Lucas Digne been an absolute disgrace all season, yet no one says a thing, Richarlison gets bullied in 90% of big games and yet nothing gets said.

What do we think?
One bad game does not make a season and although the game against Liverpool was incredibly poor in the second half, Richarlison has been a consistent performer this season, as the stats show.
The Brazilian is a talent and to perform in a struggling side is no mean feat, fans should appreciate their attacker while he still remains at Goodison Park.
