Micah Richards - Out for 4 weeks?

After only 5 minutes of the U-21 game, Micah was stretchered off with a pulled hamstring.

He reckons he will miss the semi-final!!

Typical Pearce reply..........."Dr Richards reckons it could be 4 weeks. It could be 4 days"

Big shame if it is that bad.

Bugger...!

"Dr Richards reckons it could be 4 weeks. It could be 4 days"

If thats the case would you want to play for SP after that quote?

Sorry, would you want to play for SP quote or not

It reads as if Micah has diagnosed himself...

Sicknote that lad, what a fucking simpleton.

I bet he is shirking again.

To be honest,the right side of defense has cover for Micah,it's left back against the sobbing knobrot nani that's the big problem.Zabaleta was roasted there,Kolorov is dreadful so perhaps the only way would be lescott there but if Boatang is at right back,who covers centre back with Kompany?
Think we'd have to play Zab at right back with Boatang in the middle with Vinnie . Worrying

Boateng is a CD anyway and Boyata can play right back at a pinch. Would play Zab at left back again. I dont think Nani will pass this time I mean since his broken leg, stretchered off and all the metatarsal problems that tackle caused he's not half the player he was.

Lee - haha, top notch mate!

Boyatta really worries me... just something about his play and overly-relaxed style most of the time.

Kompany and Lescott are having a pretty good run of it at CB currently, so Boateng will be slipped straigt in to RB I reakon.
LB will continue to be a pain until the Summer at least. Give Kolorov the nod and get him to knouckle down for a few games and pick his game up there. Shifting him to LW and then back again will be putting him off balance a bit too.

Hope it's over exaggerated and he'll be fit for the Semi. Vince, Richards gets injured because he gets stuck in, no chance of Yaya getting injured that way.

Posted something similar on 606 & the 2nd person to post, a Spud Twat of course, said something like why don't we use one of our 20 defensive midfielders !

I just deleted the prick

Boateng will need to step up to the mark. It's a good chance for him to show us he's not just another cart horse

Barry or Lezzer can play at LB and I'm hoping Zab will be back. I wonder how NDJ would do at RB?

Inky, no Richards gets injured putting on his sparkly underpants.

Sicknote mate.

If we play Kolorov at left back Jacko will slaughter him,we would have to use someone quick on the left who could help to double up on him,maybe sweep?
I hope we can keep kolorov away from directly marking anyone at set pieces as he's been at fault for goals by being like a fucking snail off the blocks

Wrong Vince, wrong. Micah gets carried off every other game with head injuries - Because he goes in where others fear to tread, I won't have a word said against him.

BTW, why does Fellani have his own emoticon?

That's not Feillani, it's Vince in his heyday !

I'd play left back no problem... I'd just mow the fucker Nani down with my wheelchair while the ref wasn't looking..... SORTED!!!!!

Richards cant go a game without going down injured, why does NDJ never or very rare need treatment in any game? IMO there are some players who have a roll around every game like they have been shot and others who just wont show they are hurt! Ahhh the good old days when men were men..

Bellyblue, you should have watched the Bert Trautman documentary last night, a broken neck and still goes diving in like a madman, absolute legend.

Why Richards seems to need treatment every time he plays puzzles me.

Kolarov was gash at LB against Chelsea, I wouldn't be confident with him trying to shackle Nani.

Interesting shout for NDJ as a RB Inky, only thing is it would mean Yaya would be put in the right DM spot, which he's pretty shite at considering I thought he was a DM when we signed him.

If Richards is out for a while, loaning out Onouha at the start of the season sure looks to have been the correct decision as we will be lumbered with a choice between Zaba, Kolarov and Boateng (pick a LB out of them) Anyway, the match should show us if Mancini really is a 'great tactician', or little more clued up than Hughes was.
