Fantastic Article - Micah Richards

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2127889/Micah-Richards-When-Manchester-United-pulled-clear-City-I-wanted-cry.html

This one article highlights many, many questions that we fans have been debating over the past few months.

1) Why have we no width?

a) As Micah says...when he plays with Silva, he just doesn't track back so he is cautious of going forwards, but playing with Milner on the right gives him the licence to go forward as much as he wants as he knows Milner will always fill in. "He's a dream to play with on the right and Silva could play in another position"

That sums it up for me.

Great read about other things as well...especially the whole England selection debacle.

The whole of England knew Crapello was a knob, even the players.

Back to the article, it obviously goes to show RM doesn't play to our strengths all the time. Surely Micah must tell RM, Platt, Kidd the problem he faces when Silva's infront of him, even if for some reason they can't work out why he's not bombing forward.......then again.

Although, how many times has Silva actually played infront of Micah........can't be many?

I'm sure he must've done, shaken, but I'm hard pushed to think of any instances where he has. Usually he plays over on the left. Maybe it's on the occasions when he and his opposite number on the right switch flanks?
