Micah Richards

[dazby]

Have we found a new boo boy then?


He's the best back up right back in the league. Give him some games to run into some form.

We should have left him on against Watford, as who fuckign cares if we lost , at least Micah would have got some game time.

You fucking spastic!!

I'll type slower so you can understand. Giving him some games so that he can run into form has nothing to do with the Watford game. He will be back to his best with game time and an injury free run.

You didn't watch the Watford game so you are in no position to judge.

Some right fucking shite has been talked about the Watford game on here, & I'm wondering if anybody who commented actually saw it. Loads of stuff just made up out of thin air, with no background in fact.

Blaming Richards for the goals is just beyond shite for a start.

'He was out of position'.

The extended highlights video is on the OS now & there is a view of Watford's whole move for the 1st, from behind the goal.

Well have a look when the ball hits the net, where is Richards, which side does it come from, & who lets the scorer run on to Demichelis, without any good reason other than a totally wrong decision, & which defender is completely missing from the picture as the ball hits the net ?

And don't tell me he was doing what he's supposed to do; NO HE WASN'T. He is supposed to be where the fucking ball went, stopping it.

Stop the picture at 2:10 & have a good look at the situation= NO PROBLEM.

Stop the picture at 2:12= PROBLEM.

CAN YOU SEE WHY ?

Clue; you let them have it wide & deal with it later, not leave a player to run down the fucking middle.

"There you go Demi, you deal with two players running at the fucking goal, & I'll stand here, in case the winger gets involved later, saves me having to run out to him afterwards"

"Cheers mate".

Tell me that's ok & Richards deserves more shit for anything in the game he has done & I'll tell you you're talking bollocks.

The 2nd goal then happened because the cbs, especially Demichelis, fucked up when the whole team was ahead of the ball going forward, not because anyone was out of position. He passed it to Watford & they lumped it straight back. We were in position to go forward, not back. Richards had no hope of getting involved & wasn't the last defender to get back then either.

Which side do Watford's other attacks come from ?

Everybody stank first half. EVERYBODY. Aguero was fucking hopeless for a start.

Richards was most likely taken off because he's not fit & was not upto the fitness level we needed 2nd half, we needed more energy, & Kolarov is more of an attacking threat, not because he was worse than anyone else.

He took off the 3 players who have been out of the team.

If Richards does stuff wrong, he's fair game, he gets paid to play football, but it's not fair to make shit up about him, nor to give him special abuse for stuff others are doing just as badly or worse; that is just the same kind of victimisation Lescott gets & there is no call for it.

If he has a run of games fully fit, & he's shite, then he can probably go. He wasn't shite in Mancini's team when fit though, he was excellent.

Forget all that, why does the commentator on the official site insist on over-pronouncing all our foreign players' names?

Could be he's a bit of a wanker.

Even Pellegrini doesn't pronounce 'Aguero' the way he does. I doubt Aguero does either.

Wait, who?

[Slim]

Just watching the highlights, I think Pants got sold short by both centrehalves on both goals.

I think Lescott was too deep on the second for no reason, not like he was tracking the player and all he did was play him onside. Demi got caught in no man's land twice, failing to stop the incoming ball or mark the scorer.

Lescott was dropping deep all the time as he was scare of Deeneys pace, and rightly so.

Then he should have been somewhere inbetween Deeney and the goal, really wasn't anywhere near that.

Wait, who?

For a while, they actually started going to him at halftime in the stadium, so he could give us his views on what we had just seen.

It eventually dawned on them, that nobody was even slightly interested.

He should have been right on top of him, but, he did actually play him offside.

We saw it live & he's clearly in front of Demichelis when it's passed. It was a fairly obvious one on the day.

Well said. First goal the 'world class jogger' is busting a gut to cover the runner through the middle.

Second goal, the 'world class jogger' is back quicker than any other player that chased trying to retrieve the situation.

People seem to judge with their preconceived notions rather than what actually happened.

On the second goal too I think it's worth pointing out that Yaya fucked up just as badly as Demichelis.

They all fucked up, for both goals, & Richards didn't. But he is the one getting his own thread.

As I mentioned though, the lino actually fucked up more than anyone for the second. From the side, you could clearly see Demichelis further from goal than their striker; it wasn't difficult. If any of the bloke was onside, it would be his foot.

Poor decision.

I am surprised that not many fans or the media have picked up on this. As soon as I saw it I thought offside and every camera angle I have seen since confirms this.

Back to Micah...............yes there are some stupide cunts on here that have an agenda against him because as you have just eloquently explained, none of the goal were remotely his fault and in fact he was the one running back to try to cover.

[mcfc1632]

All the Micah fan boys are fully entitled to their opinion - but not sure why they have to insist others are not.

My view of Micah has nothing to do with the Watford game - it is based on seeing live practically every game he has played and therefore years of frustration at his (IMO) ineptness.

All this analysis to try and prove something - well you could certainly go back and dig no end of footage out to show how many situations (many leading to goals) over the years are directly down to his incompetence.

Anyway - it is all about opinions - mine is that he is not remotely good enough to be a reliable squad player let alone a first teamer. IMO he is a total liability in defence and offers nothing elsewhere to compensate.

Who suggested you're not entitled to your opinion?

"Micah fan boys" how very juvenile of you, I've come to expect better.

[Blue Blood]

When Micah is on top form (beast mode) he is the best RB in this league, hands down.

However.. this "top form" Micah only seems to appear once or twice a season. The troubling thing for me is Micah needs a solid run of 4-5 90min games to get him up to top form and sadly Micah is getting increasingly unable to put together runs of games before injury. I do feel for the guy, it's not his fault his body is giving out on him but there does come a point when you have to look at him and ask "are you worthy of your spot?". Frankly this season a lesser quality but solidly fit RB would have been more use to us than Micah has been, harsh but true.

Even though we know there is a hell of a player in there, how long can we gamble with positional depth without it biting us on the arse. If Zabba got a serious injury we would have a major problem, as I don't believe Micah physically could step up and fill the void over a long period of time. I really can't see Micah at City much longer sadly, we can't, as a club fighting for so many honours, continue to ignore a weakness that could become massively exploitable.

My heart would keep Micah here for his career but football is harsh these days, Winning is everything and sentiment must take a back seat.

I don't think he is 'hands down the best right back in the league' Zab for one is better. Better defensively, better going forward and suits our passing game better.
That's not to belittle Micah who is still a top right back on his day but Zab has raised the bar and is now imo playing at a higher level then Micah has done.
