Micah Richards

But you know when the energizer is not energized, you know there's a problem.

So after seven minutes where my moves scored, I'm thinking, it's 3-0 on aggregate.

And you can't lie to the audience.

The audience are not stupid.

They want it as real as possible.

Give it to them.

And I'm just like, there's no way Newcastle get back into this game.

So...

You look for things tactically.

At half-time, there were some good moves within the goals of Mahmoud and big players needed to perform and all that sort of thing.

But in terms of the game itself, it was over after seven minutes.

If Newcastle was to get, or would have got the first goal, it could have been exciting.

But after that, as a broadcaster, you're floundering of things to keep it going, really.

I think he's been doing it for a few games, I guess.

And I think that's where they've been caught out.

I think since Pep Linders has come to the club,

There's been certain moments where he's turned to him.

That's the coach that was with Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool.

Yes, which was bizarre, I thought.

But, you know, if there's any insight he can get in Liverpool, all the better.
