Micah Richards

Why can you say defensively?

They're not scoring.

Yeah, but if you keep clean sheets, you'll always back City to get one or two in the games normally.

Today, that wasn't the case.

I think the wider issue for me is how easy it is to play against Man City.

And that's not just blaming the defenders.

Rico Lewis didn't have the best game today, but how easy he can get through the lines.

And if Rodri is in a position, there's so much open space.

Well...

It's how high it is on your knee.

Of course, if he goes a little bit harder, then his knee's gonna basically explode.

Where it is, it's a clear red card.

Like you said, we've all played the game.

You can talk about intensity all you want, but when you go that high in a challenge,

I don't think you can use that as an excuse, though.

Man United, as Pep said, Man United was just better on the day.

The game might have changed if that happened, but you don't want to be using that as an excuse.

It just didn't do enough.

I don't think we need to slow it down.

In real time.
