Tommo_b Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 At one point Micah was highly regarded and didn't he become an international, he surely SURELY must still have some of that talent in there somewhere, how do you just suddenly become so bad!

That was a long long time ago, when he had pace and power beyond his years to rescue him from his lack of positional awareness. When he came up against someone who was just as fast he got found out. I always remember him being torn apart by Gabby at VP on the opening day of the season when Gabby scored a perfect hat trick. Truth is, since then he missed a lot of football on a nice big wage, combined with his his injury problems means he never improved from his early days. Is he better than Hutton at RB? I don't know, they are both pretty bad and having either at RB is like trying to sail a ship in a storm with loose cannons flailing about all over the place smashing the ship up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Whilst I agree he isn't a good player. I can understand Bruce's comments, despite what some say in here, to me, last season he always looked like he tried and wanted us to do well. As I said at the time I can understand why he was made Captain as he seems like an influential character. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyangel Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 I'm sorry but he's just an athlete masquerading as a footballer. Man citeh could see this hence letting him go. We suckered his legend and bought into his potential, which sadly is nowhere near his ability as a footballer. Also, along with gabby and lescott, I suspect he was a major undermining and disruptive influence when garde was in charge. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodders0223 Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Is Steve Bruce trying to get the sack? Maybe Micah is great around the place. Maybe he is a 'triffic lad. Maybe he is someone you would love to take home to your parents. Maybe he has a smile that just melts your heart. He can't **** run anymore...and that is all he has ever had. At this point I am beginning to question Steve Bruce's sanity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveAV1 Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 "Doris the tea lady is great around the place. Always a Hobnob and a smile to go with a hot cuppa. The lads love her, she's been around the place forever and has still got 28 years left on her contract. She'd be up and down that pitch with her teapot and never spill a drop." Come on Steve it's time to have your afternoon nap and take your little blue sweeties...... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 If all is forgotten that Micah Richards is a very lazy player, then I suspect that Steve Bruce is actually Eric Black in disguise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post DCJonah Posted February 18, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted February 18, 2017 (edited) And this is yet more evidence of why we are wasting our time. Bruce is not going to build something at this club. An absolute joke that he feels like he needs Richards on the pitch. Where? You've just signed a RB and Chester has been one of our best players. So where do you need him? Unless of course you're going to try 3 at the back again, it wouldn't surprise me, the man is losing the plot.

He looked like he had all the raw attributes starting out, and Citeh probably reasoned that the tactical and mental stuff would come with time and experience. But he reads the game as well now as he did when he was 18 -that is, not very. That applies to two other defenders on our books n'all. Both Hutton and Cissoko moved for large fees in their early 20s. Hard as it is to believe now. Edited February 18, 2017 by HolteExile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want an example of a player who didn't give a toss then this is him. He was the worst of the lot for me. Re watch his pathetic attempts at defending for a lot of our goals conceded last season. He would have been first out the door for me. I'd rather play with 10 men, and I suspect we would probably do better too 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken Field Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 I knew it! I knew he would bring back Gabby and Richards. So predictable. Bruce loves himself some overrated, long time past it, English men. All the over paid, overrated players are back in the squad. We need to get rid of these players instead of using them. They are awful players and immensely overpaid. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would not mind if we played 3 at the back, the problem is that Bruce uses 5 at the back, with the fullbacks not allowed forward. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
