Wainy316 Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 I agree. However i would like to see Richards at RB and a new signing CB in January to partner Okore. The reverse works as well if we sign a new RB and keep Richards at CB. Depends who is available. RICHARDS ISN'T GOING TO PLAY RIGHT BACK As agreed with Sherwood. If I was manager, he'd do as he's told, and I'd like to think it's the same with Garde. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a new manager who didnt sign him with any agreements to have to play him. If the manager wants him at RB.. to save this club... HE WILL PLAY RIGHT BACK.

Popular Post lexicon Posted December 22, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted December 22, 2015 In other news, it's so good to see Okore back in the starting line up. He's a very talented young player and his bad injury doesn't seem to have messed him up at all. Great stuff. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaJ100 Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Richards has admitted himself that he can't play RB anymore. Sometimes as your body changes you can't do the same things as before, fair play for the guy for adjusting. Plenty of players have done it. Can you imagine Barry playing left back now? We're already having fans start to comment that 'old sicknote' is back. How would you feel if Richards had to have 6-7 games off after every game at RB because he's done something in? I'm sure if it we got to the cup final, or on the last day of the season to stay up, and we had 2 QUALITY CB's and absolutely no RB's at all it might go out the window, but 99% of the time, no chance.

He might've said that only because he wants to play at CB. He's still got the pace and energy for it, I really don't see the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We signed him as a centreback, have been playing him as a centreback, and he's been one of our best players at centreback. Why on earth would we move him? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 The guy wants to be a cb, was signed because we wanted him to play as cb, has been one of our better players at cb. How is moving him from his best position whilst annoying and upsetting our captain and one of the few players who gives a shit going to help us? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken Field Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 (edited) Our defense in my opinion has been better since Richards' injury. Even though he has been one of our better players this season, force him to play right back so that Jores can continue playing in the center. Excited to see how good Okore can get if the continues to get game, he must be easy to play with at center back, as last season Clark partnered him and look good but has looked crap since Okore's injury, this season Lescott has become A LOT better since becoming Okores center back partner.

kevpants Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Okore has improved our defence since coming in. Richards will displace him though. And we will ship more goals as a result. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has it? Southampton could have had 5 goals, Arsenal 2nd goal is the most shambolic goal we ever conceded and Wijnaldum and De Jong had free chances to score on Saturday plus all 4 goals we conceded have been dreadful 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would agree with you think we have improved since Okore has come in ,but think the main reason is that Richardson isn't playing ,Bacuna has his limitations but is much better .Think Okore should keep his place aswell think its a case of who partners him .

May be harsh looking at just the two last games, but I see improvement, though far from perfection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That may very well be true xD Bacuna has been suprisingly okay at left back. Okore also has to stay in the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samjp26 Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Okore could easily play CB with Richards at RB. When we signed Richards, Sherwood said he was signing him as a CB however he also said one of the main reasons he signed him was because he could play CB or RB.

Not just there though, if you think the majority of fans worldwide are anti Gabby than in favour of him, you're pretty delusional. The guy is Villa through and through, didn't you know. Anyway this isn't the Gabby thread, so I won't be replying any further about him here. Edited December 23, 2015 by Spray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
