Micah Richards

And with that comes an energy and with that comes an enthusiasm and a belief.

Yes, you're right, Alan.

They've got to keep that, maintain that.

And they've got every chance to do it.

They're not going to be playing too many games because they're not in any cup competitions now and not in European footballs.

So they need to work on that.

And they're very close, of course, to Champions League spots.

And so there's maybe some reasons to be cheerful for the long-suffering people, poor fans at Old Trafford.

Counter attacking football.

Because the big gaps they've got and they're playing high.

Pep had one of his kind of, let's say, intriguing days where he obviously played two youngsters at the back.

in a lane in Kusinov and then didn't play all right at left back, put Ake at left back rather than in the middle where he's at least got a bit of experience in there, which was quite baffling.

He took Phil Foden off at half time.

Now in the first half, I thought Phil Foden was the only bright spark for City.

He didn't always go his way.

His corners weren't very good, but he did look busy in there.

So he took Haaland off with 10 minutes to go and he's 2-0 down.

It was one of those days when I was thinking, he's having one today.

He's very good on the ball.

Good on the ball.
