Micah Richards

Boss · 14th August 2010, 13:55

Remember when he was talked about as a promising player for England?

He's always out of position and is in general a shocking defender with no real awareness

He has Walcott syndrome, without his Physical Attributes he looks pretty fucking clueless of the game

Makki · 14th August 2010, 13:55

And people say Nani lacks a footballing brain...

Lester Freamon · 14th August 2010, 13:57

Fantastic athlete. Not much of a footballer yet though.

Team Brian GB · 14th August 2010, 13:58

Any English player who looks half spirited is an international class player as far as the media are concerned.

R_Kelly · 14th August 2010, 13:58

He played the mystery guess well on question of sport. Not too good at defending though.

EdWeatherall · 14th August 2010, 13:58

He never knew how to defend, just had the physical attributes, one of the best games he has was when they beat us 1-0 at Eastlands, and Tevez got in behind him on numerous occassions, but Richards had the pace to get back and make excellent recovery tackles

And that just shows what's wrong, he got beat so many times positionally, but had the ability to recover.

And apparently, he's addicted to the gym, just spends all his time on the weights

And then there is this rumoured story;

Quote:

Vieira asked Richards what he wanted to achieve in the game: 'I want to play for a successful City team and play for England too.'

'Really??' replied a surprised Vieira. 'Then how come you're the last one onto the training pitch every day and the first one off it?

Remember when he was talked about as a must buy for United?

Dans · 14th August 2010, 13:59

He's slow and he can't be arsed.

He was linked to alot of big clubs at one point, when he was being touted as an England International

I got that right

Mickey · 14th August 2010, 14:13

Havin a 'mare right now. Trust saf, he didnt go out buy him like certain fans and the rags wanted us to, and look at him now. Dodged a bullet.

MrMarcello · 14th August 2010, 14:22

Is his best position actually in central defense?

Discounting the bench obviously.

He s actually more shit as a central defender..... he s the primest example of how a good athlete is not necessarily a good player.

Scholesy · 14th August 2010, 15:00

Some people on here would still want us to sign him. They would claim he is 'raw' and under Fergie he will become a great defender.

girish · 14th August 2010, 15:21

Properly managed, he might still become a pretty good player.

Dunne always had to cover his arse when they paired up in the middle

if they find a way in which the number of braincells can be increased, yes...

evra · 18th December 2011, 18:14

I don't buy this idea that he's made a good deal of progress under Mancini. He's a fantastic athlete but his positional awareness is poor and he's prone to clumsy tackles/passes.

Lance Uppercut · 18th December 2011, 18:25

He is a dirty bastard.

Fabio Capello likes this.

Minkaro · 18th December 2011, 18:52

Let's look at the more important things here. Is it pronounced "Miker" or "Meeka"?

KingEric7 · 18th December 2011, 18:57

Fuck knows. Gary Neville was calling him Micker, today.

His awareness hasn't improved Mancini's defensive tactics are just very rigid and structured and have been drilled into him every day of the week - watch him in international football when he has to show a bit of genuine positional intelligence and awareness and he'll sink because it's just not there.
