Many Everton fans were left slamming the display of Richarlison in their 3-3 away draw at Manchester United in the Premier League on Saturday night.
The Goodison Park side actually found themselves 2-0 down at half-time through two fine goals from Edinson Cavani and Bruno Fernandes but quickly made it 2-2 early on in the second half through Abdoulaye Doucoure and James Rodriguez.

Scott McTominay put Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s team back in front at Old Trafford before Dominic Calvert-Lewin scored a last-gasp equaliser in what was a great comeback by the Merseyside club.
However, despite some very good performances for Carlo Ancelotti’s side, Richarlison really flattered to deceive.
The Brazil international lost out on no fewer than seven of his duels in the game, and also failed to record a single shot on target or key pass, losing possession of the ball 12 times, the joint-third most out of any of his teammates to have set foot on the pitch (Sofascore).

He really failed to make any sort of real impact on the match, recording fewer touches than his own goalkeeper Robin Olsen.
Everton fan reaction to Richarlison display
These Toffees slammed his performance on Twitter, with one Blue even going as far as to say that the 23-year-old was ‘poor’:
“Would leave Richarlison out now….probably unpopular but he’s stunk the place out for weeks. I know he works hard…but it’s almost like he’s trying too hard.”
“I made a comment at half time that Richarlison was poor 1st half had a few debates and one seemed irate that I had the temerity to say the fans’ darling had a bad half, this will be my only negative tweet, I stand by that”
“What’s going on with @richarlison97? Doesn’t look like he’s interested at all needs dropping always sulking an on the floor man up”
“Josh King did more in a few minutes than Richarlison all game. Sad to see”
“Serious question, is Richarlison playing for a move? Hope not, but really off his game #EFC #NSNO”
