Richarlison is one of Everton's best players.
In fact, on his day, he probably is the one with the most raw quality in the squad.
Saying that is no revelation to anyone who has watched the Blues regularly since the Brazilian moved to Goodison Park in the summer of 2018.
This season, however, he maybe hasn't hit the heights on a consistent basis that many might have expected.
The 24-year-old has had an uncanny ability to be able to adapt and mould himself to multiple managers over the course of his time on Merseyside.
But perhaps he found that most difficult under Rafael Benitez.

His own injuries and those to players around him certainly didn't help, while the general style Benitez adopted, sitting much deeper and with less of the ball, didn't seem to suit Richarlison's style.
At the beginning of the campaign, with Everton utilising quick counter-attacks much more often, the Brazil international did find a niche for himself alongside Dominic Calvert-Lewin.
But by December, you saw his reaction when substituted by Benitez in the match at Crystal Palace. It proved to be the right decision by the then Blues boss given the forward was injured, but it was still an indication of his feelings at the time.
He was evidently frustrated - and it's understandable.
But, victory over Leeds United on Saturday continued the feeling that Frank Lampard might well be able to give one of the club's most prominent stars a new lease of life.
The key aspects of Everton's win this weekend all centred around energy, pressing high up the pitch, focus, commitment and desire.

All of those are qualities Richarlison has in abundance. In fact, that's what made him stand out when he first came to the club.
Sometimes the expectation of a Brazilian forward is to be skilful, quick, with a low centre of gravity, and perhaps a little bit lightweight for some of the rough-and-tumble matches a Premier League season produces.
That's where Richarlison breaks the mould. He has all the skill and pace you'd expect - with the added commitment, drive, work rate and physicality that is exactly what Everton need.
All of that was on display against Leeds United.
The Blues made a point of pressing from the front to try and force their opponents into mistakes in and around their own final third.
Look at the stats and you can see it clearly had an impact. Anthony Gordon made four tackles (the joint-most in the team along with Donny van de Beek), while both Richarlison and Alex Iwobi made three each.
Richarlison set the tone from the opening minutes alongside the rest of the front four, with Calvert-Lewin's influence also crucial in this sense.
The energy levels shown by the former Watford frontman were consistently fantastic, but his desire hit its pinnacle just before Everton scored their second goal.
The Blues only won the corner that Michael Keane so emphatically buried because of the tireless work of Richarlison, closing down a Leeds clearance and earning a bit of luck for his actions.
But it wasn't just his defensive work, of course - he was still a huge threat in the attack as well.
He almost scored in the first half but was only denied by a good block, while he recorded an impressive three key passes over the course of the 90 minutes.
In the end, he might still have been a little frustrated in the dressing room, because he was eventually denied what he thought was his second goal in three matches in the Lampard era.
After picking up the ball from Allan, Richarlison's left-footed effort clipped off the heels of Gordon and into the back of the net - reducing his goal to an assist instead.
However, in the grand scheme of things, he won't be too bothered.
His performance deserved a goal, that much is clear. He'd have been forgiven for looking hugely fatigued when he was eventually substituted with just minutes to go, but he didn't.
Despite all the running he had done, despite all of the issues he had caused the Leeds defence, he still looked like he had a decent amount left in the tank.
If this kind of display is going to be a common trait of Everton under Lampard, as many hope it might be, then Richarlison could be a very key part of it.
He's already one of the Blues' best players, but even so he can be given a renewed lease of life under this manager.
