Micah Richards Rates the Reds Will Not Finish at the Top

By db-admin

DBasia.news –  Liverpool has appeared powerful this season. Juergen Klopp’s club have been undefeated in the Premier League and are six points ahead of second-place, Manchester City. However, according to Micah Richards, the former England national team player, the Reds will not finish at the top at the end of the season.

As a former Manchester City player, Micah Richards’ opinion is indeed subjective. However, he has one fundamental reason. That is related to the depth of the squad and improvisation of managers. He considered The Cityzens were superior to Liverpool in these two things.

“I think City will win the Premier League this season,” Micah Richards told Bwin as quoted by the Manchester Evening News. “They are currently complicating themselves with the situation at center back. However, they always take the hard way. “

Furthermore, the former right-back atated, “I would never underestimate City as they possess qualities in the squad that can change the game. They also have managers who know very well how to bring out the best in all players. “

Micah Richards then pointed to last season’s experience. At that time, Manchester City were still able to win the Premier League despite having to lose Kevin De Bruyne for a long period of time. According to him, if something similar happened in Liverpool, things would be difficult.

“I have to take my hat off to Liverpool as they are currently playing really well. However, if one key player is injured, the team will lose balance. If (Mohamed) salah, (Sadio) Mane, or (Roberto) Firmino is injured, their game will be affected and it would be challenging for them to maintain the level of play, “he explained.

Micah Richards’ prediction will be tested later this week. At that time, Manchester City will face Liverpool. If they lose the match, it will be increasingly difficult for The Cityzens to retain the Premier League title. Conversely, the possibility of being champions for the first time in 30 years is increasingly wide open.
