Micah Richards was the most improved player in the Prem last season and ended up being the best RB also. So far this season he's been very good. Was one of our only good players against Bayern Munich (Ribery got motm but Richards was good on the whole.). He should be in the starting XI.
And Jolean Lescott has been the best defender in the Prem so far this season, bar none. He's not even in the squad, yet that joke Cahill is! Haha! Never mind though, I've come to expect it as the manager is a fucking joke too.
