French media drop brutal assessment of Richarlison after Tottenham 0-0 Monaco and they are spot on

Tottenham played out a dull 0-0 draw against Monaco in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday night.

Thomas Frank became the first Spurs boss to go unbeaten in his first three UEFA Champions League outings in charge with the result, but the Dane was fortunate to achieve that feat as Guglielmo Vicario was needed to make eight saves.

L’Equipe have since published their ratings for the match, and Richarlison was rightly selected as the worst performer for Tottenham.

L’Equipe correctly hammer Richarlison for quiet display

The Brazil international was handed a rating of just 3/10 for his display against the French side, the lowest of any player to have appeared in the game.

Mohammed Kudus, Archie Gray, Lucas Bergvall and Rodrigo Bentancur were not too far away from Richarlison – each being handed a 4/10 for underwhelming performances.

Unsurprisingly, Vicario was named the best of the bunch for Tottenham, receiving 8/10 for his Man of the Match display as Monaco took 21 shots in total at his goal.

Richarlison started the season on fire with a double against Burnley – including a stunning overhead kick – but has faded.

The Brazilian has only scored one goal in 12 games since then.

Now, Frank seriously needs to consider dropping the South American and handing Randal Kolo Muani a full debut after the miserable display in Monaco.

Richarlison was hugely ineffective, taking just 20 touches in his 70 minutes on the pitch, five of which were unsuccessful, and could only muster up one shot – which was blocked, according to Sofascore.

The Tottenham No.9 also made just six passes and lost possession eight times, committing one foul as well.

It was a truly woeful performance from Richarlison – who Glenn Hoddle wants dropped – and he seems to be far too comfortable without the threat of Dominic Solanke taking his place.
