Micah Richards

[starski]

Micah will come good again, the shot was appalling but what did u expect from a defender. He worked hard tonight. Got to say screech was colosal

He was also limping quite heavily from about the 30th minute... he needed replacing tonight.

I'd limp if every time I got tackled I flew through the air too. Not saying he dives in a cheating way just he tends to throw himself 20 yards or so after a challenge.

He does, and it fucking annoys the shit out of me.

I used to rate Micah but he pisses me off so much these days it's untrue. I hate slagging players but you look at him throwing himself on the floor, chewing gum like he's fucking cool, throwing the ball aimlessly into the air, thinking he's Maradonna and not defending and just think 'fuck off to the championship'

I wouldn’t say criticising a player is slagging him off.

There’s a difference just abusing a player, and pointing out how erratic his game play is.

For me I don’t understand why he needs to get forward so much anyway, because inevitably it comes to nothing, he cant get back afterwards, the opposition then come on to us and our defenders cant cope, point being our back 4 is not great to start with and it invites pressure on us, it has been a problem for us all season on the right flank, no disrespect to Dunney but he ends up the last line of defence, Micah’s weakness becomes Dunne’s problem, then anything can happen as it usually does.

I would have thought Hughes would have addressed this problem a long time ago.

I think the lad needs a break. I'm not sure of the exact amount but he has played almost every game this season. I think that is having an adverse affect on him. Other clubs nurture their youth whereas Micah has been expected to play all these games. I agree he has been woeful for the best part of the season, but I am willing to give the lad time. he has shown last season what he can do and I expect him to return to that player, but he needs a break badly.

Totally agree.

He has been poor this season and been caught out many times, but i think sometimes people still forget how old he is. He needs a break and he needs to get back to basics. Seems like a lot of people have already written him off which is sad. He can get better and its not for lack of trying

the game last night for example, made some poor decisions, was caught out of position too many times, but they guy gave everything last night. Did you see when he chased the ball down and kept it in near the left corner flag (yeah the LEFT corner flag) near the end and won us a free kick. At the end of the game he collapses looking knackered

all i would say is don't write him off yet, he can get better

one of the things that fills me with optimism is the age of our team. players like Ireland, Zab, Kompany, Nedum, Richards, Caceido, they are all in their early twenties and all still learning the game

He's been a shambles this year but I reckon it's all in the head and he will sort himself out given time. Next year when he's on the bench he might decide to buck his ideas up a bit
