I am not arguing for or against Richards, but the Villa defenders are all over the place and luck has been on Villa's side this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpaywasawesome Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 (edited) To be fair so far in this match Okore hasn't been any worse than Richards has been this season. Edited December 5, 2015 by Alpaywasawesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCJonah Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 We should have been 3/4 down after 30 minutes. Defence looked good from then. Can't see how that result is any different from the point against city. But you enjoy your moment against Richards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our defence was an utter shambles for almost the entire 45 minutes, they missed guilt edge chance after guilt edge chance, it also didn't look too great in the second half. How quick and desperate you seem to be to turn todays point into a stick to beat Richards with is just sad. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An utter shambles yet didn't concede, combined with a pretty tight second half where we looked organised and reasonably composed for a change.

KJT123 Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 I know some people hate the idea but I think moving Richards to RB could be the best possible thing we could do at the moment. Okore and Lescott looked half decent today, apart from a shaky opening 10mins or so. And Richards will surely do a better job at defending and attacking than Hutton? Imagine Richards at RB, no-one would get past him, unlike today when nearly every time Mane or Tadic attacked the full-back they just got past them with ease. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butterfingers Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 The defence was no different without him in the side- That said, Lescott played his best game for us today, I thought. If you're going to drop Richards though, I would argue that playing him at RB, Hutton LB would have made more sense today. After an hour, I would even preferred to have seen him replace Sanchez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bunnski Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 I'd have a backline of Richards-Okore-Clark-Bacuna/Hutton and let Clark organise them. Richards would be a much bigger asset at right back and would affect the game more, he is not the guy to lead the defence and way too often ends up in stupid positions which causes panic at the back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCJonah Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Did I dream the game a few weeks ago when we had a 1-1 draw with a better team and restricted them more than we did today? I guess we ignore that when we hate our captain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
