    Richarlison was spotted in tears on the bench after taking his hopeless Tottenham form onto the international stage.<\/p>\n

    Fresh from no goals in four Premier League games so far this season and being taunted by fellow forwards, the 26-year-old was named in the starting line-up for Brazil\u2019s World Cup qualifier against Bolivia.<\/p>\n

    The Selecao romped to a 5-1 victory but Richarlison wasn\u2019t among the scorers, although he should have been after blazing a shot over the bar from close range early in the second half. He was then substituted with 19 minutes remaining and looked crestfallen on the bench as he watched the rest of the game.<\/p>\n

    After spotting his pain, some Spurs fans have rallied around the forward, with one posting: \u201cIf anybody can get him back to his best, it\u2019s Big Ange. We support you Richarlison.\u201d<\/p>\n

    Another said: \u201cHe\u2019s overthinking it now. Form is temporary, he\u2019ll bounce back.\u201d A second added: \u201cI'll always have faith in him and stand behind him. Has shown many times that with consistency he can be a major threat.\u201d<\/p>\n

    A fourth encouraged: \u201cHe is clearly going through a difficult time. We support you to bounce back and contribute massively to our season.\u201d<\/p>\n

    However, other fans were less sympathetic, with one quipping: \u201cSomeone should make Richarlison crying comp [compilation].\u201d<\/p>\n

    Meanwhile, a Chelsea fan declared: \u201cOne of the worst signings of all time for Tottenham.\u201d<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    Richarlison\u2019s only goal so far this season came in the Carabao Cup tie at Fulham, who won on penalties after a 1-1 draw. Last season, despite an excellent World Cup in Qatar, where he scored three times, he scored just once in the Premier League \u2013 and that came in a losing cause at Liverpool.<\/p>\n

    Richarlison had a number of goals disallowed. In fact, he had more yellow cards for goal celebrations, when he ripped his shirt off, than actual goals, and has spoken out about his terrible time under Antonio Conte.<\/p>\n
