He has got to either be played as a left back or on the bench at best he is just not a left midfielder, I know Kacaniklic & Frei are young and will have off days but they should be given regular games there, Richardson should never ever be starting left midfield he is a left back Jol!
Sorry but he has shown nothing to warrant replacing anyone in the team let alone get in the 18 man matchday squad.
Riise does blow hot and cold, but I believe it depends a lot on who is. In front of him. At the moment for me it has to be Kaca or Frei.
After yesterday I don't even want to consider him for a place on the bench.

Totally agree, if he is a left back that's where he should be, if Jol thinks Riise is better then Richardson should be out the squad, I have seen nothing from him to think he should be ahead of Kaca or Frei
JackyF ............... he has said it is his favourite position, the black cats said he was excellent in that position, so why is he not playing there ??. It appeared that Jol had lost his rag with Riisa about nine games ago, but he is still included every week, if Briggs had played all of those games, it would have improved his confidence and given him experience. He could not have been worse than Riisa
I like Riise he is still a good left back but I would be interested to see Richardson at LB think he can do well there but he is certainly not better than Kacaniklic and should not be starting left midfield
Taxi squad.
All managers are required to give the players acquired on their behalf a reasonable run in the first team. Richardson was a regular in another Premier League for a long time so has he really got a lot worse or was yesterday just a day when every Fulham player let the fans down with a corporate bad performance.

Sadly this made me chuckle....
But I think he'll come good with a few more games. He's got more goals in him then Frei and Kaca

Why? A good manager doesn't flog a dead horse.

Because you are saying to the Chief Executive, who is responsible for buying players, that he doesn't know what he is doing.
Kaca, Frei, Rodallega, Karagounis, Dejegah, Duff and Richardson have all been tried in the wide left position this season.
Face facts, Dempsey has left a void that Jol is having difficulty in filling.
I think he was played because Jol wanted someone a bit more defensive minded without having to change his system. I dont blame Richardson too much for his performance, he is a more defensive minded player and if you where at the game, you'll have noticed that the ball hardly ever went out to the left at all. Everything we did was trying to go through the middle.
I hope Richardson can come good as a few Sunderland fans I know think he is class but that he is really good at left back he doesn't seem like a left midfielder to me
