Ange Postecoglou must axe Richarlison at half-time in Tottenham v Brentford

Ange Postecoglou needs to drag Tottenham striker Richarlison off at half-time against Brentford.

Spurs were dealt a huge blow ahead of kick-off in the Premier League at the Gtech Community Stadium on 2 February with Micky van de Ven nowhere to be seen.

However, Postecoglou quickly squashed any fears by sharing an injury update on the Dutchman, as the focus switched to the action in West London.

After a frantic opening half an hour, it was Tottenham who took the lead as Son Heung-min's corner deflected in off of Vitaly Janelt's back.

That is how the half would finish. However, if Postecoglou's side are going to win this match, they will likely need another goal.

Therefore, the Spurs boss should look to make an attacking change at the break,

Richarlison hasn't offered much presence up front in the first half against Brentford.

As per Sofascore, he has missed one big chance, with his one shot at goal blocked, while he has succeeded with zero per cent of his attempted dribbles.

In addition, the Brazillian won just two of his seven ground duels and lost both of his aerial duels as he struggled to make any physical impact up top.

He also gave possession away five times and made two fouls in what was a chaotic first-half performance.

As a result, Postecoglou should think about making a change, with Dane Scarlett sitting on the bench and likely buzzing after scoring his first Tottenham goal last time out.
