AVTuco Posted April 19, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted April 19, 2015 Couple of mistakes. Probably the worst player in the team today but still better than every Liverpool player... ... ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Risso 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 Disgraceful comments about a player who played his part in a superb victory. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted April 19, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted April 19, 2015 Think people are just hating for hating's sake on here - Richardson was good today. This. He was good today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villanun Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 I thought he did alright today. Still gives away possession too easily and the less said about his shot the better, but he stood up well to Balotelli and made some important tackles. Oh yes, and without him Liverpool would have equalised, so there's that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juanpabloangel18 Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Richardson was not good yesterday. I just watched the full 90 mins again and was there, he was very sloppy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 (edited) It's easy to take it easy on players when we win, but from an objective standpoint, apart from his header off the line, he were pretty poor. Only player in the team that consistantly gave away possession, which may could have resulted in Liverpool counter attacking us to pieces. I'm never confident when he's on the ball and he is (together with Weimann) a player i would like to see leave come the summer.

myko Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Completely agree. Not one person would have been giving him praise had we lost yesterday IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont_do_it_doug. Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 I don't think he had a great game and really struggled with Balotelli in particular who was himself utterly abject. Liverpool targeted Richardson and had more joy against him than they got from the rest of our players combined. He's still not a left back though is he, clearly. Yet there he is, doing a job. Leaving it all out there. He gets no grief from me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVByrne Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 (edited) I'm sorry but Richerson was very very poor against Liverpool yesterday. Yes the team were excellent and we won, but that doesn't mean he gets bumped up by the work of his team mates. He was very poor I felt. I accept the defensive weakness, but it was going forward he hit the first man every time with his attempted crosses and then ballooned a good chance.

foreveryoung Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 I agree didn't too bad. but he is our weakest link though. We need to buy a quality left back in the summer, won't be far from complete then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted April 20, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted April 20, 2015 Quite shocked at the stick hes getting in this thread. Wasnt amazing, but wasnt terrible either. Playing out of position and giving his all. The header off the line was awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isa Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 He remains suspect in most areas of his game. Every attack automatically breaks down whenever he receives the ball also. I'm never going to be comfortable with him at left-back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackbauer24 Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 I think a few are getting carried away by the euphoria of yesterday. Watch it back if you can, Richardson was pretty bad truth be told, both defensively and attacking. He was beaten easily, his crossing was atrocious and his passing sloppy. It's not hate for hates sake, I just say what I saw. Delph was amazing yesterday but that doesn't mean that I missed the fact he was equally (if not more) culpable for Liverpool's goal as Okore was. He was still MOTM though. Everyone makes mistakes but Richardson was poorest player for Villa by a mile. Okore was slow when he came on and got beaten a few times but was much better as the game wore on. As for Richardson's clearance, I'm ecstatic he made it but let's not get carried away that it was particularly difficult! And I'd say that if it was any player! I'd be much happier with Lowton there. Nothing against him personally, just think he's not very good! And especially in that position. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 I'd definitely have Lowton ahead oh him, despite all his shortcomings. I think he'd have absolutely ripped that chance into the top corner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that is how you and others view my comments, thats fair enough; Everyone is entitled to an opinion. However, all of the players played their parts in the victory... Richardson, aside from the clearance off the line, did the least and actually cocked it up a few times... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think it was suggested that he did anything wrong, just that the header was what you would expect from anyone who has ever played football before and probably not "awesome".
