markavfc40 Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 Fair play to him. He got dogs abuse on Tuesday with his every touch booed by a vocal minority after the third QPR goal but I thought today he once again gave his all and overall given the standard of the opposition, that a decent winger in Townsend was his direct responsibility, then I thought he performed OK. Left back is clearly not his favored or best position and ideally he wouldn't be in the team and if others were fit I doubt very much he would be. I do get the impression though that he is doing his best there and really as fans we can then ask no more from him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtsimonw Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 I don't like it when players get overly criticised for performing poorly. Being lazy, I can understand the fans getting on a players back. But Richardson has given his all since day 1 and what's he supposed to say when he's picked "Sorry boss, I don't think I'm good enough". If he plays shit, it's on the manager for picking him.

lexicon Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 He does give his all and works hard - that's true - but he just isn't technically a good footballer at all. I agree that he shouldn't be booed but the only reason he's playing is due to injuries and that's the way it should be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villaglint Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 I thought he had a very shakey start but seemed to really kick himself up the arse after that. Noticeably more aggressive in the tackle which to be honest was the absolute minimum I would have expected. Thought he was aided by a really dreadful Townsend performance. Always been impressed with him for England but don't see a huge amount of 90min games of Spurs so I guess it's game like this why he gets so much hate.

sexbelowsound Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Thought he did fine yesterday, much better than against QPR. Can be rash at times defensively but then again he isn't a natural defender. Good squad option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 still think he is a liability at lb but credit to him for trying and not whinging about playing out of position definitely want aly back for fa cup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romavillan Posted April 13, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted April 13, 2015 He grew into the spurs game, he had a desperate first 10 mins, of QPR proportions, but then he sorted himself out. Probably needs more game time after his injury and doesn't deserve the level of OTT weirdo hate he's been getting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 (edited) Weakest link in our team today going forward, another dissapointing performance tbh Edited April 19, 2015 by villalad21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshVilla Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 I thought he did well Yes they attacked him but he defended well stayed on his feet and if he wasn't on the post Liverpool would have scored Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Weakest link in our team today going forward, another dissapointing performance tbh Performance is forgiven for that header off the line right at the end which stopped a goal and probably Liverpool going through instead. I would like Cissokho to get some minutes before the final though as Richardson was abysmal at the Emirates defensively against Walcott. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darrenm Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Couple of mistakes. Probably the worst player in the team today but still better than every Liverpool player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ_Villain Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Was a bag of shit aside from being on the line to head the ball away... That, and only that, was his worthwhile contribution Not to take it away from him, what a contribution it was... But had he scored in from the fairly open shot that was given to him or not misplaced two dozen passes previously, he may have been appreciated a touch more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farlz Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Thought again he was very poor but he made that clearance off the line and how important was that. So for that, bloody good job Kieran Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czechlad Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Way too harsh. He did a fine job at left back. His last two performances have been quite good. He shut down Sterling and Balotelli quite a few times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kurtsimonw Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Did fine today. Incredible fitness levels too. Got forward to support and back to defend an awful lot. Forced their players going the wrong way which helped us pen them in their half for long periods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobzy Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Think people are just hating for hating's sake on here - Richardson was good today. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicon Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 His clearance off the line was incredibly important and he should be commended for that. Other than that, fairly typical performance from him - gave the ball away cheaply too often and didn't look assured at all. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KHV Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Gets way too much hate. Played well at spurs and was fine today. People who think he was the worst player today are deluded and probably should look at Okores performance again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
