manchester blue said:I think Richards' game has suffered since he was dropped by Capello with him stating that his positional sense wasn't any good. Positonal play comes with experience and theer is no doubt Richards is a great talent but I also think he beleives his press a little too much.
manchester blue said:I'm looking back further than 2 games as I can think further back than that. Not saying he has been poor lately but also not saying that he is crap which is what some think because he is off form.
I'm sure you haven't seen the irony in your own post?coxtheblue said:Who would pay £20 million as quoted around 18 months ago for this lad.
In the last two weeks alone he has cost us 2 premiership points in the last minute of both games - he has simply switching off in both.
He has bulked up too much and has lost agility and relies far too much on his pace/ power to get him out of situations.
When was the last time he read a situation correctly.
No wonder we are losing games - both centre halves are in worst form ever.
Please lets keep hughes and keep him time - for 30 years we have sacked managers one after another.
It has done us really well hasnt it!!!
