Micah in trouble.......

[in exile]

So he'll most likely be out of Monday's game.

Do we know if it's a 1 or 3 game ban?

Stick at fullback, we have to do what's best for the club not him.

No information yet, but hopefully just the one.

Thank you

It was bad enough firstly Richards continuing his spat with Fernandez, when he should be getting back to defend their impending attack, but to then continue it, in the tunnel is totally irresponsible not only as a player, but even more so as a captain.

He has let the club and the fans down badly.

I echo this. His temperament got better of him. Its no defence but he seemed to understand the need to win he was fired up and needs to focus his energy on his performance and leading the team. Perhaps on this occasion the pressure getting to much and that gabby agbonlahor will continue as captain

I look forward to seeing him make rampaging runs forward at right full back soon.

He's positioning is too poor to be a centre half, but as a full back, he looks like he plays a different sport compared to Hutton or Bacuna.

Agree, we just need a manager with big enough balls to tell him that's his position.  He's had a few marauding runs through the middle for us usually towards the end of the game when we're chasing a result and not a lot can stop him.  At right back he'd get the chance to do that on a regular basis.

I find Micah can be too over enthusiastic with his headers at attacking set plays and if he relaxed a bit would probably score. At times he plays with something to prove born on frustration with past injuries and his shunning at man city. He hasn't got the ill discipline of joey Barton or even Stevie errand but does lack discipline for his position and status as captain. That said  I do admire his passion and determined efforts. Richards would be better deployed at right back. As for his ball carrying I think he seems to over do that and often over runs the ball. I'd like someone to put there arm round him and get him back to basics. Seems happy to be playing regularly and just needs to enjoy it.

I have a horrible feeling, admittedly based on nothing whatsoever, that he has the CB position in his contract.

[Phil from the upper holte]

Surely you can't have a clause saying I must play centre half

[class-of-82]

Maybe he tries to hard cause he is sick of watching some of the dross that is going on in front of him

You'd hope not, but I honestly have no idea. I'm probably talking bollocks.

I agree with Villa Lew,to act like he did at the time of the incident was bad,but to do what he did in the tunnel was just idiotic .No way would he be captain in my opinion

I think it depends on what he reacted to in the first incident

As misplaced as it was at least he appears to give a shit and seemed to recognise  the magnitude of the Swansea game and the probable consequences of losing. The frustration levels must be off the scale playing in this team especially if watching them is anything to go by.
