He's used the "myth" that Richards is poor defensively to back up his second point.forevermancity said:Where does he mention the word 'because'?MCFC BOB said:So it's a myth that Richards is poor defensively because you think he's better than Zabaleta?

He has given two opinions, neither based on the other. There is a myth on here that Micah is not good defensively, and that Micah is better than zab. Hardly difficult to understand and is an opinion I share too.
Good post and reflects the point I made earlier. The two are actually very complimentary in that zab offers nothing going forward but that won't matter much with navas in the side. Without navas Micah can give you the pace and overlaps on the right that zab can't.ninjamonkey said:Rascal said:Cheadle_hulmeBlue said:Played very well today, has so much pace. Will be hard to pick between him and zaba for the RB spot
If Navas plays then Richards has to play. They looked awesome together.
I expect horses for courses through the season. I would suggest if Milly plays then so does Zabs as they are more solid but Richards and Navas going forward looked superb today.
Would personally put them the other way around. I think pairing Navas and Zaba together and Micah and Milner and rotating them as a pair will work nicely for our right hand side.
Zabba offers the better defensive protection but isn't as good going forward or as pacey as Richards. Which is where Navas comes in, but also it means Zaba isn't constantly bombing on and taking up navas' open space to run at players. Additionally, zaba is more intelligent with his runs, he often under-laps the winger and pops up in the pocket between the centre half and the fullback which again allows Navas the space out wide and provides another option.
The other pairing is basically the opposite, Richards will give you the attacking threat and pace to get up their and provide another option on the flank knowing that Milner will provide excellent cover for him defensively. And Milner is a more crafty player who although is capable of getting down the outside of the fullback and putting in a great ball likes to come inside more and create a different angle which then allows the space for Micah to bomb on into.
I'm sure they'll all get rotated well and in different combinations presuming they stay fit but i wouldn't be surprised if we start to see a pattern in how they are paired together as the weeks progress.
Haha no he didn't, he didn't state that that was a reason for his thinking, two opinions.MCFC BOB said:He's used the "myth" that Richards is poor defensively to back up his second point.forevermancity said:Where does he mention the word 'because'?MCFC BOB said:So it's a myth that Richards is poor defensively because you think he's better than Zabaleta?

The myth that Mancini is a good manager...you know..the one that you tried to peddle for a long time when most people who knew what was going on weren't fans of him.George Hannah said:sorry, which myth do you prefer again?forevermancity said:...There is a myth on here that Micah is not good defensively, and that Micah is better than zab.

It's going to be very interesting to see which players win the battles for their places early in the season.
