Richarlison has struggled for form since joining Spurs from Everton in a £60million deal a year ago. The 26-year-old striker has scored just one goal in 27 Premier League games and failed to score during Tottenham's 2-2 draw at Brentford on Sunday afternoon.

"I thought he worked hard today but I felt we didn't use him enough," Postecoglou told reporters after Sunday afternoon's game. "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." Postecoglou's comments come after his predecessor Conte clashed with Richarlison. The Italian was furious in March when Richarlison told reporters: "This season, excuse the word, it's been s*** because I don't have minutes, I suffered a little with the injury. "But, when I enter the field, I give my life. I came from two games well, I think that's it, I think I should have played and I don't have to cry about it." Do you agree with Ange Post){kind=link}

Ange Postecoglou has backed Richarlison to flourish at Tottenham – five months after Antonio Conte called the Brazilian “selfish”.
Richarlison has struggled for form since joining Spurs from Everton in a £60million deal a year ago. The 26-year-old striker has scored just one goal in 27 Premier League games and failed to score during Tottenham’s 2-2 draw at Brentford on Sunday afternoon.
Yet Postecoglou believes Richarlison will find his feet in north London and will “keep supporting him” through this tricky patch. A lot is expected of the former Watford star this season after Harry Kane completed a move from Tottenham to Bayern Munich.
