Everton were the latest team to target Richardson. Nothing against the bloke, but I don't get the same feeling of dread when a winger is bearing down on Bacuna or Hutton.
We were poor in defence as we got no Vikings like Mellberg or Laursen or warriors like Allan Evans, Shaun Teale or Ugo Ehiogu. We need to look at why our defenders are too soft with injuries and lack of clean sheet. From our line up I would keep Hutton and Clark and overhaul the rest.
How available has Cissokho been since Sherwood took over? Looks like he's played just once (if you don't count Leicester), but I don't know how much time he's spent being injured. I thought he'd be someone who might have been re-energised by Sherwood's arrival - he certainly was solid for a couple of months before dropping off like everyone else.

We shall see. But an incoming left back this summer is still high on the priorities.
Personally I'd build the defence around Clark & Baker with okore as back up.Hutton is fine but cissoko is back up for me .
