Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou admits that he can bring out a lot more from striker Richarlison.
The Brazilian led the line for Spurs after the sale of Harry Kane to Bayern Munich.
Richarlison was part of a three-pronged attack that featured Son Heung-min and Dejan Kulusevski.
Post-game, Postecoglou stated of Richarlison to reporters: “I thought he worked hard today but I felt we didn’t use him enough. I thought we could have been a little bit more direct to him and look for him a little bit more.
“He was making some good runs and he was working hard. He had a couple of half-opportunities but I thought we could have created more for him.
“The key for us with Richy is to keep supporting him because he’s working awfully hard for the team in a defensive sense and when we get in that front third I thought we didn’t look enough for him today.
“I have got a lot of time for him. He’s a striker and he’s got a lot of great attributes and he will always work hard for the team and that’s a good starting point for me.”

The competition between Gift Orban and this Fella will bring out amazing things in Orban. Deal to be finilised this week. i am optimistic…
@ Ugo, I have watched and studied Orban’s movement on and off the ball. I will be happy for him to prove me wrong that his style of play suits the Premier league, cos I am really struggling to see him do his thing in a jet pace, close marking premier league.
That boy has huge talent with really good physique but not for English football. Spain, France, Italy or Germany will bring out Orban’s best. Anyway football has a way of defying the odds.
