I think Richy could do very well under Ange. He's not a superstar and probably wasn't worth the fee but he's still a very good player, and he brings a different dimension with his aerial threat. His problem right now is that he and Son don't really fit that well together, so he's reduced to a substitute role, and Spurs have no other competitions so minutes are scarce.
Another invisible game for Mudryk … tools wise he resembles Timo Werner - and results wise as well when it comes down to it. But Werner always had tons of chances whereas Mudryk looks completely befuddled and lost.
The Athletic had a podcast on him a couple of weeks ago in which the participants were equally perplexed. What does Poch do with this guy?

I thought he was ok today, and the stats show some productivity, but I think part of the issues is that Poch has been playing Colwill at LB, when he’s a more natural CB, so there’s less progression and chance creation coming from that side, compared to the right where Gusto has been more productive at advancing the ball and setting Sterling up. We’ll see how things look going forward.
A few lineup changes for Arsenal this week. Vieira starting over Havertz and perhaps more notably Raya starting in goal over Ramsdale for the first time.
That may be the single worst VAR decision I've ever seen. And I've seen a lot of bad ones. How is that offside? The ball was played backwards by an Everton player. The Arsenal player was trying to pass the ball sideways, at a short distance, if he was even trying to pass it at all.
No, It should have been +20. That ref might be given a week off.
--Twice, a second ball was tossed on field during a Spurs corner and the ref handled it differently each time.
--Another time, Sheffield took a free kick when Son might not have been far enough away, but if you take the kick, you forfeit that. Instead ref gave the guy kicking a yellow and then let him rekick.
--The keeper handled the ball outside the box, no card.
--A quite obvious PK was missed. And the foul was committed by a guy already on a yellow.
Then, after the game, the Sheffield manager complained about the extra time. I mean, dude.
I feel like the Ars/Everton ref is being extremely generous with what is considered shoulder to shoulder contact.. and Everton’s corner and free kick strategy seems to be to ‘accidentally’ throw high elbows or shove people.
Gabriel also deserves a card
edit: at least that’s Tarkowski’s strategy
