Unfortunately, it was another evening to forget for Richarlison on Thursday as he put in a poor performance for Brazil against Venezuela.
The number 9 has struggled in front of goal again this season, having netted just once in eight Premier League games for Tottenham, equalling his tally for the entirety of last season (TransferMarkt).
Against Luton Town last weekend, the Brazilian was guilty of missing two sitters in front of goal that would have practically won the game for Spurs within ten minutes.
Instead, Tottenham struggled to find the back of the net and eventually went down to ten men, only just scraping a 1-0 win thanks to a goal from Micky Van de Ven.

Tottenham’s Richarlison struggles for Brazil again
Richarlison was named in the starting XI for Brazil again last night, alongside the likes of Vinicius Jr. and Neymar, but he was unable to find his shooting boots once more.
GloboEsporte gave the Spurs man just a 4.5 out of 10 for his display, with no Brazil player earning a lower score. They said: “Another performance below expectations. He played marked by at least two Venezuelans most of the time. He left the area to get the ball and made execution errors.”
Spurs Web Opinion:
Richarlison is a confidence player and just nothing is going his way at the minute. With Brennan Johnson pushing for his place on the left back at Spurs, he needs to find his shooting boots soon. It could be a case of just one game that lights up his season.
