He did well’: Jermain Defoe says one Tottenham player impressed during Liverpool defeat

Tottenham Hotspur suffered their fourth defeat on the bounce when Liverpool came out as 4-2 winners on Sunday at Anfield.

Given Tottenham’s recent results and their history on Merseyside (they last won there in 2011), there was really little chance that they would win this game.

To the dismay of their own supporters, the players fulfilled that promise by dropping the match in the first half once more, as they had done against Arsenal at St. James’ Park few weeks prior and more recently.

At the conclusion, the team vying for the Champions League scored goals through Rickardson and Son Heung-min.

However, as was the case with the North London Derby loss, it was really too little, too late, and more evidence that the players only step up when things are simple.

When you are trailing Liverpool 4-0 and Arsenal 3-0, it’s simple to perform. The audience is expecting a show to start right away.

Because the majority of them were dreadful, not many players can hold their heads up high and say that they performed.

However, Richarlison “did well” from the bench, and Jermain Defoe was eager to emphasize this, as he told Premier League Productions on May 5, 24 at 6:25 p.m.

The 26-year-old not only scored but also provided an assist, making it his 15th goal involvement in 28 Premier League games.

Richarlison’s goal against Liverpool

“Richarlison came on and did well,” said Defoe. “He looked a threat. But he just came into the game too late.

“When you come to Anfield, you have to manage the first ten minutes and try not to concede. When you are 4-0 down, it becomes easier and the other team always takes their foot off the gas.”

Should Richarlison start up front?

The problem with this is that he has been in and out of the starting lineup, and his manager isn’t even sure if he thinks highly of him at number nine.

Roy Keane knows who won’t play, so you believe he performed enough against Liverpool to get back in the starting lineup for Burnley’s visit the following week.

Yes, Richarlison isn’t and most likely won’t reach Harry Kane levels of performance.

However, a player who struggled in his initial season and has been in and out of the starting lineup this term has returned with 11 goals and counting.

However, given that Ange Postecoglou has mentioned using the summer transfer market to make changes, it wouldn’t be shocking if Richarlison is one of the players he
