Micah Richards the pundit

[meltonblue]

Can it not just be his opinion? It does not mean he is biased, selling out to Sky, just that he might see things differently, in some instances, to how you see it.

Micah clearly thinks Phil Foden should play more often, as do many City fans. Its not surprising based on our struggle for goals and he is one of our most creative players.

Entirely predictable on here sadly and shows how paranoid some are when we are questioning Micahs integrity now.

I don’t overly mind him saying what he did about Foden and you’re right, it’s an opinion that plenty on here have too after all.

Personally I struggle watching him as a pundit because I just don’t think he’s a good one

He must be coming to the end temporarily contract and due a full time contract with sky so just showing how easy it is to talk negatively about city.

Can’t slag the team off today, or Pep, or his assistant. Let’s turn the pitchforks on Micah!!

Nothing wrong with that mate. I would not say he is my perfect cup of tea either. Its the inevitability of people questioning his integrity already, rather than accepting he might just see things differently.

For years people have bemoaned our lack of representation and unsurprisingly as soon as we get some, it is suggested he is following the sky party line, where most neutrals would consider Micah very pro-City.

Every other fucking pundit is pro their old club

They pretend to be a fan of one of the clubs they played for, generally the one with the highest turnover, and it is all a bit fake.

A bit like Goater now a super fan, but couldn't name the city players a few years back.

I don't think it's a biased opinion and feel he genuinely means it.
But Sky over pushed it today and Foden even asked about it during his post match interview which he handled very well.

I wish they'd do the research though. Apart from the 1st week when we were short of fit players he consistently starts 1 game a week and never 2. Week after week after week,

This is the 16th week of the season for City.

Foden minutes played by week for the 1st 14:

1. 90+90 -2 starts
2. 63 1 start
3. 90 - 1 start
4. 0 - International break
5. 88+23 - 1 start 1 sub
6. 45+90 - 1 start 1 sub
7. 10+68 - 1 start 1 sub
8. 29 - 1 sub International
9. 90 - 1 start International
10. 19+90 - 1 start 1 sub
11. 24+90 - 1 start 1 sub
12. 90 - 1 start
13. 75 - 1 start
14. 90 - 1 start
15. 01 - 1 sub (and would have started Everton if not postponed)
16. 86 - 1 start


It's almost as if there was a cunning plan or something... you know, Phil is great but not as physically developed as many other young players, so we'll find the optimum way to integrate and develop him....and start him just 1 game a week

Micah is a fun pundit , he brightens up the whole show he isnt the shiniest spanner in the toolbox but he gives an honest opinion , when the presenter asked Micah about the extra rest our players have had Micah shot him down and said we had "six players missing with Covid so lets not get into that" , top man

 

[Craig]

Think he’s absolutely shite as a pundit but don’t see the big deal about him saying Phil should play more.

A Witch hunt time for some Rush ;-)

Phil is getting a 1st class intro into the demands of top class football. If Micah knew anything he would look into his own career where he got quite a bit of playing time when he was younger, then git injured and his career was fucked. So do me a favour with all this bollocks of Fodrn should start every game. We have built and will always build a squad to compete in every comp. P95% of pundits know fuck all about Phil's stats and ate only shit stirring.
