Micah Richards the pundit

[Petethemancinleeds]

Top pundit, Top City fan who somehow has scousers / rags saying hes not qualified to criticise our defence. Any defence that depresses Micah must be shocking!

 

[tonea2003]

they were loving taking the piss out of micah last night
stick with it lad we are all feeling your pain

 

[Ribchester]

He was absolutely spot on.

Rodri is nowhere near good enough and the signs were there early on. We haven't found a fitting replacement for Fernadinho or Kompany, and that's our biggest problem at present.

Or Aguero

 

[bennyboy]

Or Aguero

Or Kolarov.
Even Adam Johnson a sub you had faith could change the game.

Any of them start on Vincent Kompany and they’d better go into witness protection immediately!!! No one who has ever seen Eccles Blue in one of her rare temper losses has ever forgotten it! The GM of a very large building company is still telling his employees to make sure that I always get what I need at the time I want!
So don’t even joke about them turning on Captain Courageous, Captain Marvellous because I’m ready.
I am a placid person but like most quiet placid ones heaven help them when I erupt!!

JMHO :-) ;-)

Right behind you Eccles

 

[stonerblue]

Shit pundit and painful to listen to! On the racism issue, he rambled and didn’t speak particularly well! Love his enthusiasm and his smile is infectious, but he’s a shit pundit!

The thing is, pundits get the big jobs for the big Prem games based on who they played for.

Micah’s not a good pundit, but almost none of them are who work on Prem games.

There’s two excellent pundits at Sky (out of all that they have): Greame Sounness and Liam Rosenior who is the best pundit out there full stop for any channel.

But Rosenior will never get the gig Micah has got because he played for Bristol Fulham Torquay Reading Ipswich Hull and Brighton, despite being better at the job description than anyone else at Sky.

We do not need and should not have an ex-City player on the pundit panel just because we think we should have one because we are a big club and we need someone sticking up for us just be cause there’s loads of them sticking up for United and Liverpool. It’s all about quality of the words that come out of someone’s mouth, not whether they played for United Liverpool or City.

The best pundits may very well be a full list of Liam Roseniors. People who may have played for League 1 to Championship clubs but who know the game inside out, can talk with correct grammar and articulate points clearly so that even complex tactical insight can be understood by the viewers at home.

It’s 2020 now, we need to move away from the celebrity pundits.

Correct grammar has gone right out of the window with most of the new sky so called pundits. !

I think it's fair to say he isn't the most eloquent pundit, yet. But he makes for brilliant TV. He's a very decent human being, clearly hasn't got a big ego about him. His laugh is infectious and can bring a smile to my face even when City have played terribly.

I'd rather listen to him than:

Carragher
Hargreaves
Ian Wright
Shearer
Danny Murphy
Rio Ferdinand
Jamie Redknapp
and a whole host of others that I can't even think of at this point.

Even though I hate to admit it, the only pundit that I think is clearly ahead of the others is Gary Neville. The way he articulates his analysis is detailed, yet simplifies what's happening for the viewer. He doesn't hide his biases but builds them into his honest assessment.

spot on.

 

[ShaunMCFC]

Think he's been great again tonight so far.

what's he said?

 

[Damanino]

He said what is going on with defenders at City is not good. We sign them 50-60m, they are not good and we replace them with another 50-60m signings.
And we can do that financially that is why there is not much coaching happening with the defenders.

 

[Invisible Man's Bandage]

Definitely improving as a pundit as he is offering detailed opinions rather than trying to be a personality. I got the impression fellow panel members were taking the piss out of him to begin with and he was making it easy for them to do so but maybe he has grown in confidence and is now more sure about his role.

My personal choice of City pundit would be Zabba however.

Hes not wrong

He put a video up on IG where he was showing his hotel room door all smashed and he said "this is the damage from last week". Anyone know what it was about?

Was it his hotel door or could it have been dressing room door maybe? He got locked in a dressing room before a game last week. :-)

Very possibly could of been mate yes! Fair enough. Thanks for answering.

He got locked in the dressing room before his debut on MNF. He thought it was Carragher playing a joke on him, but in the end they had to get security to kick it down and he got out 5 minutes before the show went live.

 

[BlueAnorak]

I like him. He talks sense not bollox.
