Richards, what has got into him?

[mcfcliam]

Looks a terrible player now after being predicted as England's next first choice right back.

New deal? no thanks.

 

[Pam]

He is rubbish, it has to be said.

 

[ConnorMCFC]

i seem to remember people saying similar things about ireland up until last season.

 

[Freestyler]

He positioning is absolutely embarassing, if he wants to look for an example of defending and positioning today, he should look across to his left and watch wayne bridge.

 

[Ntini77]

Perhaps he was never actually that good in the first place ?

He shined in a shite team but the last 18 months or so he's been poor.

Should have sold him to Villa and kept Dunne.

 

[GStar]

Guessing people didnt see his goal line tackle/block and clearance, or a few other decent tackles he put in today.

Positioning is still in question, as are a few other things but i don't think he did too much wrong today.

 

[dan.j.mcfc]

I have to agree at the moment he doesn't even look like a premier league player never mind playing for a side challenging for the top 4.
I honestly can't remember the last time he had a half decent game but then again i have never rated him so i might be being somewhat biased towards him.

ireland had a odd good game and seemed lazy others until last season

richards is just lazy and is always out of position bellamy and swp were doin alot of his work

 

[Corky]

Another ligit goal he got chalked off.

Should have had 3.

Center backs being not good enough in the air again, same problem as last season.
