He's a great athlete with all the attributes but a­ terrible footballer - gone downhill since he was put on­ big money. He could be turned into a great defender,­ though, if he was willing to listen and learn, which he­ doesn't seem to be judging by his on field spats­ with more experienced team mates. Chip.­ Shoulder.

Sadly, he'll still be talking like this­ at 23/24. Needs to move on - he's had many chances­ and can't cut it.

he smells like cheese, ive met him

He needs to stay out of nightclubs and concentrate on­ his football. His decline can be traced just as simply­ to the time he got into the media spotlight and the­ England set up. It went to his head and it has shown on­ the pitch ever since. He remains very promising as an­ attacking right back. He's strong and fast but­ needs to work on his concentration - ball watching is a­ big problem - and his crossing which is shocking at­ times considering the positions he gets into.

As a city season ticket holder, i have watched Micah­ Richards decline from a promising player to one that is­ seriously lacking in confidence and technique. Tactics­ will not always suit certain players, but Micah's­ problem is his ball watching and lack of awareness and­ unless he sorts this out himself, then it may be best­ for him to move on. People tend to forget he had­ Richard Dunne next to him and his great unseen abilty­ he had to support and secure what was and still is an­ uncertain defence. Dunne covered a lot for Richards­ when he got out of position and now he has gone, so has­ Richards safety net. He will either have to step up to­ the plate or ship out, as we cannot afford to keep­ players of his mentality.

You better come home to Ashburton Grove and become a­ great player under Le Prof.

"but I know I am not the finished­ product."

Hughes and co are telling Richards he­ is not good enough and still must improve.
They are­ destroying his confidence.

They are systematically­ driving out the unwanted players no matter how good­ they are. The dirty rags have infiltrated man city and­ need to be stopped.

Sack the reds

He was an excellent player 1 1/2 years ago.­ Formidable. Unstoppable and unbeatable

What has­ happened inbetween?
Sven was told he was being sacked­ during November
Hughes came in the summer

Richards has­ lost his confidence and Hughes +co have done nothing to­ improve him.

The team formation and tactics suck. Even­ zAbaleta struggles at right back and Bridge is­ stretched,

The midfield is too central
4-2-4 is not a­ defenders happiest formation.

He'll be a very good player soon. Man City might­ have to let him go.

Richards would leave in order to secure­ the england right back position.
Do you not read?

you dont know what you are talking about.­
Richards is doing as he is told as is Bridge. The­ Formation and Tactics are to blame not the player

Why would he want to leave city he is getting bucket­ loads of cash for doing nothing. He is right he is­ still learning his trade ive seen him doing a plumming­ course on a wednesday nights at Manchester community­ college.

the sooner we sell Richards the better, he is a­ liability we dont need, football commentators keep­ saying he is a terrific athlete, we are playing­ football not doing the long jump. Look at the goals we­ have conceded when he has been playing they all came­ from his side of the pitch. He has no ball control just­ look at him when he is running with the ball, its not­ at his feet under control. if we want to win things it­ will have to be without him and his big chip on his­ shoulders.

I think Micah could be the england right back for the­ next ten years but ....

not with Hughes and co.­ coaching him.

Micah, run.. run to a club with a decent­ set up for you.
2years ago Micah was unbuyable... now,­ Hughes would take £8 mil

Hughes has systematically­ reduced Micahs confidence and ruined the last years­ development.

I would get rid of Hughes before Micah

amos !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MR is a class act and will show his worth.
