Here is the place to talk about all things city and football!

Does richards actually know how to defend anymore, he may be fast (going forward anyway) but that is all he is. His constant pointless bombing forward left a gaping hole that a Championship was able to exploit, and forced a far superior threat (SWEEP) to cover for him. He does not have the vision, footballing brain, positional play or fight that mad zabba has. Richards has a lot to learn and I doubt he will.

Of the two I'd take Mad Frank.
But my own preference would be
Onouha Toure Lescott Bridge.
Pace, power, ariel ability and good use of the ball.
City and sniffing knickers.
Come on Blues.

How bad does Richards have to be to get dropped?
We have not conceeded any goals inspite of him and mainly because of Shay Given.
Richards shows no signs of improving whatsoever. He lacks positional sense, has poor ball skills and passing ability, offers little going forward, but most importantly does not seem to show determination and the correct attitude. What he does offer in aerial ability and physical presence are far outweighed by his negative traits.
Give me Zaba or Ned any day.

Last season and in pre season for me Zabaletta proved to be the superior right back.
Richards would be a fantastic center half if he had the discipline. He needs to watch Toure closely.
I think both are very good players but Zabaletta is the better footballer and fits our system better.

Micah for me, getting back to his best. Zabs too much of a headless chicken, dives in and I always thinks he's heading for a red card

Surprisingly I went for Pab Zab, a proper RB and one who can read the game and tackle, all he lacks is pace, but his reading of the game and ability on the ball and in the tackle, make pace a non-issue for him, as he is in the right place at the right time.
Micah is a CB played out of position and is currently the 4th best RB choice at the club, behind Pab Zab, Kieran Trippier and Nedum Onouha.

Absolute bollocks, Onuha is shite at full back, Trippier is no where near good enough yet( how many times have you seen him play?)

Fully agree about Nedum. It keeps getting mentioned time and time again that he should be tried there but he is shite at RB, excellent young centerback though.
Sometimes we're good and sometimes we're bad but when we're good, at least we're much better than we used to be and when we are bad we're just as bad as we always used to be, so that's got to be good hasn't it?
