Did i say Foden hasnt played well this season? At times i said and that is true.Foden has not played well this season? Really? I can think of one game where he was average but in the rest he was probably one of our better players.

The point is i think it would be hard to argue that he has not been one of our better players this season, and not one of our poorer players as your initial post infered. Anyway, I think criticising Micah for expressing an opinion is a bit silly, just because you happen to not agree with it. He isnt there to be Peps mouthpiece he is there to give his opinion is he not?Did i say Foden hasnt played well this season? At times i said and that is true.

I get the impression sometimes that he's trying so hard to sound cohesive and articulate, that he actually forgets what he's trying to say.
In fact, there was a moment last night when he was digging himself into a contradictory hole until Souness interrupted, and steered him towards a rational argument,

Micah is a breath of fresh air as a pundit, but I feel he has gone overboard about Foden’s playing time. Most of us would like to see Phil more, but Micah is veering too much to the pundits who would love to unsettle Phil.
Maybe Micah should be mentioning the fact that Pep has ‘trusted’ Phil to start all / most of our Chumps League games - something the other pundits were having a go at last year when Phil had started playing more regularly in the Pem. Some pundits definitely have an agenda and I’d love Micah to get established enough to start to call this out. But first he must get established or he’ll end up reporting for Soccer Saturday from Accrington Stanley!

My point was that Micah making a big issue about he has to play every game was just rediculous. Foden has started 13/14 games this season and come on as sub in plenty others. He's been brilliant at times, but also at times has shown his inexperience and given the ball away a lot and been average in certain games. For Micah to so vehemently push he should start every game, for me it just came across as pandering to the media line that he is not happy at City.The point is i think it would be hard to argue that he has not been one of our better players this season, and not one of our poorer players as your initial post infered.

He got a run in the team and was consistently poor for several matches. I was also irritated by Micah's cliched comments: Foden is being treated like Bernado, Torres etc and being picked on form.Foden has not played well this season? Really? I can think of one game where he was average but in the rest he was probably one of our better players.
He starts rambling and says very little, early days but he needs a lot of improvement, that laugh will only take him so far.I get the impression sometimes that he's trying so hard to sound cohesive and articulate, that he actually forgets what he's trying to say.

i like micah richards a lot. but hate tv pundits full stop ? controlled and even scripted with fear of losing your job and place on prime time tv slot
roy keane seems to be the only one that can upset the apple cart and keep his place ? maybe it just good tv watching him take a part united ? maybe because he was at united he can do it to a point but its funny when he over steps his mark and they have to reel him in

I like Micah, I just found myself getting abit annoyed the amount of time he question Phil playing. Mention once perhaps but not want seemed like over and over again. That's my only gripe yesterday. I didnt hear him shut anyone one because I got fed you the Phil doesnt play enough, so turned over. So missed Phil being interviewed :(
