Former Aston Villa striker Gabriel Agbonlahor has delivered a scathing assessment of Richelson’s performance, also criticizing several Tottenham players after a disappointing result.
“Watching that game last night, I mean, Richarlison… I’ll put a bet out there. He’s the slowest player in the Premier League. I would have a bet with anyone — Richarlison is the slowest player in the Premier League. The amount of times he ran through and [Joe] Rodon, who is not a quick Centre-half, straight in, got the ball out of him. Horrendous performance from him,” Agbonlahor said.
He also questioned the overall quality of Tottenham’s squad and singled out Conor Gallagher for criticism, suggesting he has not lived up to expectations.
“I’m looking at this group of players and I’m like, Conor Gallagher that isn’t the Conor Gallagher Tottenham thought they were signing. That is not the one that was at Crystal Palace and Chelsea. Totally different player. Defensively, so poor as well. That was a painful watch.”
