Ally McCoist disagrees with Tim Sherwood on Tottenham’s treatment of Richarlison

Wait 5 sec.

The situation of Richarlison at Tottenham has been put under the spotlight as the Lilywhites struggle to find the back of the net.Spurs have had a huge issue in the final third this season, having failed to score in four of their five Premier League games.Roberto De Zerbi cannot turn to the club’s top scorer Richarlison, who has been left out of the club’s Premier League squad after falling out with the club.The 29-year-old striker looks set to watch on from the sidelines until the window reopens in January, and some pundits have questioned if that is a waste of resources from De Zerbi at a time when his side needs a goalscorer.RicharlisonTottenham – Premier League (2025 – 2026)Appearances32Average Rating6.83Goals11Assists4Key Passes20Duels Won137Successful Dribbles11Fouls Drawn33Stats correct as of September 28, 2026.Credit: @thatfootballphotog / InstagramAlly McCoist has no sympathy with Richarlison’s situation at TottenhamLast week, former Spurs midfielder and interim boss Tim Sherwood suggested that it was a shame that Richarlison has been frozen out at Tottenham.Sherwood stated: “I know the Tottenham fans don’t like the fact that Richarlison’s still there, but he scored eleven goals in a poor team last year, and he did contribute to them staying in the league.”However, McCoist does not have any sympathy for the Brazilian’s situation, given that he has decided to make public comments rather than solving his situation internally.The former Rangers manager told talkSPORT Bet: “I have a lot of sympathy for the fans, but less so for Richarlison, to be honest. Instead of venting on social media, he should keep his head down, work hard, and have private conversations with the manager. Outspoken comments like that don’t help his cause, so I have little sympathy there.”Richarlison has continued to communicate disagreements publiclyThe 29-year-old is not planning to go quietly as he continues to express public disagreements with the club and his head coach.Richarlison decided to ask ‘why’ on social media after De Zerbi said the forward would not be part of Tottenham’s squad for their Carabao Cup clash against Liverpool two weeks ago.The Spurs striker sent cryptic messages to fans on social media, making some interesting posts just hours after the club lost 3-2 to Villa on Saturday.Richarlison took to post an image of him in the training ground, captioning it: “The focus remains” before posting another clip on social media of him doing sprint drills at Hotspur Way and captioned it: “35.4km/h – I broke my record.”READ MORE: Tottenham consider £50m move for Sunderland striker Brian Brobbey after Etihad hat-trickThe post Ally McCoist disagrees with Tim Sherwood on Tottenham’s treatment of Richarlison appeared first on Spurs Web.
