Micah Richards the pundit
- Thread starter MCFC1993
- Start date
Nedum Onuoha is going to be the pundit a lot of people hoped Micah would be.
He's articulate, insightful, he loves City and he's already getting regular guest spots on BBC radio and BT Sport.
His podcast is really good and it's given him experience interviewing people and having detailed discussions.
Micah is lovely, he offers a nice change from the stuffy, grumpy old bastards and has entertainment value, but he's not a great public speaker often reverting to the classic football soundbites and all to frequently he can't quite articulate a point he's reaching for, just circling around it without ever quite getting there. He also bows to the prevailing opinion in the studio all the time, whether it's complaining about Foden's playing time when he's played the 6th most among outfield players this season, or going with the weak option last night about offside.
if you want someone in the media putting across a City point of view well, it's going to be Nedum.
Hopefully Micah improves, he is new to the career so loads of time to work on it, and it'll be nice to have both of them in the picture because we've been without any representation in the media for far too long.

That actually shows that he wasn’t interfering with play.Quite enjoyed Micah complaining that Mings "doesn't have eyes behind his head" so couldn't see Rodri on MOTD.

I can't really see Micah improving that much tbh. He's very much who he is. Fun, nice guy, but I'd not expect anything particularly profound from him. Happy to nod along, make people laugh and enjoy himself. Fair enough. Nedum on the other hand is a vast step above most ex footballers in terms of intelligence. An actual deep thinker. Either way, isn't it nice to see all these pro City players turning up one by one? Sure there are many more to come too! The one benefit of former loved blues retiring!

I think he will improve in some ways. On the radio in particular he spends so long just kind of filling time while he thinks of his actual answer, and I think that will go away the more he gets used to being on air.
Also maybe when he's more established as a pundit and gets to know the other people in the studio he will be more confident to go against them and offer a dissenting opinion instead of just adding something in agreement.
But overall he's there for entertainment, like Henry and Keane and Savage, rather than analysis.

Mings knew he was there because he turned to look at him and then had a glance just before he tried to control the ball.Quite enjoyed Micah complaining that Mings "doesn't have eyes behind his head" so couldn't see Rodri on MOTD.

Maybe I'm imagining it but he seems to have already improved a bit. Less nervous, getting his views across a little better. I do think he's very much a people pleaser type of personality though. He wants to be liked and maybe tries too hard to show he's not biased(Neville does this more subtly), which is why he's said some of the things that have raised eyebrows with a few blues. I hope he can improve, it all depends on how he wants to come across though and how hard he works at it.
I've heard Nedum a few times, I agree he's much more articulate and already shows more well rounded views with insight. Seems to me he wont be as easy for them to "get him in line", as the boardroom members probably say when anyone is pro City.
