Richarlison was once again unable to replicate his early-season form as Tottenham drew 0-0 against Monaco in the Champions League.
The Stade Louis II hosted Thomas Frank’s team on 22 October, and the North London outfit were lucky to go home with a point.
Guglielmo Vicario was Spurs’ hero on the night as he denied the French club from finding the back of the net on several occasions, including making a save after a shot four yards out.
While most of the players were underwhelming, the former Everton striker was one of the worst players on the pitch and was substituted in the 70th minute.

The Brazil international started up front for the North London outfit but was unable to make an impact as he struggled to get into the game.
While the 28-year-old wasn’t helped by the fact that the Ligue 1 outfit were dominating the middle of the park, his decision-making on the ball was woeful in the final third.
Gabby Agbonlahor slammed the centre-forward for being unhappy about being substituted, writing on X: “Some nerve, Richarlison being angry at being taken off.”
In his 70 minutes on the pitch, the striker amassed an xG of 0.1, as per Sofascore, which is nowhere near good enough for the Lilywhites.
Richarlison could be sold soon by Spurs, and if his performance against the Ligue 1 outfit is anything to go by, with just 20 touches and losing possession eight times, it wouldn’t be surprising to see Frank sanction his exit.
Thomas Frank has to make immediate changes vs Everton
Lucas Bergvall was another player who let Frank down against Monaco, and the Danish manager should look to make multiple changes to his starting lineup for the next game.
Tottenham travel to the Hill Dickinson Stadium on 26 October, and the former Brentford boss will be hoping to get back to winning ways after losing to Aston Villa and drawing to Monaco.
Spurs have usually played very well away from home, but Frank has now been given issues to resolve after the performance at the Stade Lois II.
While the North London outfit are dealing with multiple fitness issues in their squad, Xavi Simons and Randal Kolo Muani should start in Merseyside at the expense of Bergvall and Richarlison.
