Micah Richards - Released

[CT]

I'm not only stunned he played, but amazed that RDM made him the bloody Captain.

That shows a worrying lack of homework done by RDM and his staff.

Just like Gabby, Lescott etc - pay them off, get rid, otherwise we will never be able to start afresh.

2 min 25 secs in, Micah dives in for a header near the half way line. The next time that he appears on screen is as the ball crosses the line.

That's some quality can't be arsed loafing around

I actually thought this megatwat would be good for us when he initially signed.

The guy is fucking hopeless , just like last season (Norwich away springs to mind ) he has no awareness of where he needs to be on the pitch.In 20 odd years as a supporter I can not think of a worse CB at the club

Can anyone donate a Villa shirt with Richards 4 on it, it's about time i started making my Guy Fawkes ready for November

He positional awareness for Luton's last chance in those highlights when it was already 3-1 is shocking also. He doesn't know where the Luton player is, and is just standing in space.

He is even more annoying in that he does that 'swagger around with your chest puffed out like you're some kind of defensive God' thing. He also does that "charge wildly out of defence with the ball and people will think you're dead good" thing too.

Last night highlighted all the worst things about him. The diving in brainlessly, the strolling around, the near total lack of positional awareness.

He would get away with it more often at right back but I honestly can not believe anyone thinks he is in any way, shape or form a centre half.

Awful player. I just hope we somehow manage to bin him this month, he's a real poster boy for the clueless, incompetent basket case of a club we've been these last few years.

[Oscar Arce]

We can only hope that RDM has seen for his own eyes once and for all what we all know, in that he is a liability as a centre back.
The worst positional sense I have ever seen in a player bar none.
When I saw him swaggering onto the pitch annoyingly chewing his gum with his 'I couldn't giuve a fu**' attitude I knew we were in for more embarrassment.

I must admit that had me fooled for a while. Then I noticed nothing good ever came of it.

Crock of fucking shite

Has the positional sense of a blind drunk Polar Bear wandering around the Sahara

[levico]

You seriously have to question RDMs judgement in making Richards captain last night.

Given the fans clear and justified view of the player it does bring the old refrain back into your mind:

"Just don't think you understand.".

[Chris Jameson]

Titus Bramble would be a better option than either Richards or Okore at centre half, the pair of them are fucking useless.

[sirlordbaltimore]

He was absolute gash before last night, he's still absolute gash this morning. A complete twat of a player with zero reason to still be at the club apart from a no doubt huge contract. I don't EVER want to see him in the shirt again, not on the bench, not in the stiffs NOTHING

[ASHTONVILLA]

The only time Richards and Okore should be paired up together ever again is as two halves of a pantomime horse. Awful player.

I think you'll find Gestede has that position nailed down.
