I'm not his biggest fan but thought he was having a great game today and was amazed when he was replaced! Had he stayed on he would have been my Man Of The Match.
How do you think he did? Was he playing well or was I dreaming?

I don't know about MOM but I thought he was definitely doing ok, he was however continuing to give away fouls whilst on a yellow which I think was the reason for it

I thought he had a blinder..Infact he was more of an attackin threat than SWP...Same style as Evra and Cole,just younger and needs to sort out his tackling.Bright future ahead

Couple of dodgy moments but a way bigger threat than SWP imo. Probably injured.

I think he was doing ok but nothing special. Miles better than SWP though who was having a very poor game.

Micah had a very good game imo.The nettle was there to be grasped by SWP but he failed to even make a grab very poor imo.

Thought he was doing alright but kept making slightly rash defensive decisions, and one which could have snapped that lad's ankle. Wouldn't have highlighted him out for any particular praise, or harsh cristicism to be fair.

Constantly showed a right footed player playing left wing on his inisde which led to the first goal.
Ridiculous dive again in their box in the first half.
Looked slow, lazy, laid back.
He wasn't shit, he was.....allright. That's the top level performance he will ever give us and it's never going to be good enough.
Right Back is the number one priority in the summer.

Thats a stupid statement!!! He made one or 2 poor defensive decisions but that was probably due to the fact he seemed to be our main attacking threat in the first half as shauny was useless

I thought he played reasonably well and certainly looked threatening going forward, but was worried he'd get sent off. Some silly moments that could have proven costly, and he afforded Malbranque (who always plays a blinder against us, why is that?) way too much time and space in the first half.
He's improved on last season overall but I don't think today was Micah at his best. Faster and more committed but reckless more than once.

Should have cut out the cross that led to the first goal, again looked slightly lost defensively at times and yes it was probably because of SWP being so poor in front of him, but his first job is to defend and on that basis he wasn't that great. Agree we needed to strengthen in this area, Micah has time on his side and could probably learn from a more experienced player...

very poor first fifteen but improved considerably - i'd say 7/10.

Poor challange that he was booked for which pretty much sealed his early exit from the game
Passing to shaun down the wing was pretty poor too, he struggles with precision when passing down the line and his mid range to long passing in general isnt anything to write home about.
Apart from that he was fine, had he not been booked im sure he would have stayed on.

I think your a quality poster mate but thats fucking ridiculous, he'll never be in the same league as cole or evra when it comes to fullbacks, he constantly slows down our attack when he gets on the ball and his passing is very suspect (btw i actually like him as a player and feel he gets too much stick at times but he isn't as good or will ever be as good as these two)

I agree, not as good those 2 but similar in an attacking style. ie powerful runs down the line,supporting attack and not afraid to get in the pen area.

.... Micah had one of his better games - nothing more
We do not really attack down the right when he plays - the only out ball he seems to know is pass it wide to SWP - no matter if he has 2 players on him
He normally does not get pass players and he normally cannot put a cross in - the fact that he actually managed to do that a couple of times does therefore stand out - but not in respect of a PL RB
Most important for me though yesterday - I actually saw him RUNNING back to help the defence when he had lost the ball - that should be normal but is a bit special for Micah

Didn't like his two dives at all. That can fucking stop.
The trouble with Micah is he is better when we haven't got the ball, kind of like de Jong. He really, really needs to work on his passing, though his movement off the ball in an attacking sense has definitely improved this year, which it had to if he were going to be a full-back. I do think he is improving overall and I am pleased he is: I want Academy lads like him to be at City for the next ten years.
Overall I thought he had a decent but unspectacular game, though their goal came from a cross from his man which in an ideal world should not be happening. But Malbranque is a very good player and sometimes very good players can beat you and get a cross in. it was actually quite a good goal to be fair to them.
Was the subsititution tactical or due to an injury? The Japanese commentators didn't know and I'll be rogered with a prize marrow if I am listening to that kerbcrawling creep David Pleat for 90 minutes.
Your right leg I like; I've got nothing against your right leg. The trouble is neither have you.

Thought he played alright yesterday and has been playing a lot better recently.
I actually thought Barry was more likely to get sent off than Richards. Seemed like he was trying to start a war out there!!
