Richards to make England debut tomorrow

goldenHuddlestone · 11-14-2006, 10:04 PM

England coach Steve McClaren on Tuesday handed a debut to Manchester City defender Micah Richards when he named his team for Wednesdays friendly against the Netherlands.

The 18-year-old Richards gets his chance after Manchester Uniteds Gary Neville was ruled out because of injury.

Everton striker Andy Johnson, who was overlooked for the World Cup finals this year, was also named in the team to partner Wayne Rooney in attack.

Liverpools Steven Gerrard, who missed the 2-0 defeat by Croatia last month, will play in midfield with Frank Lampard, Michael Carrick and Joe Cole.

A 0-0 home draw with Macedonia and the 2-0 defeat by Croatia last month have left England facing a struggle to qualify from Euro 2008 Group E with seven points from four matches.

Israel and Croatia, who both have seven points from three matches, play on Wednesday.

I think hes the best replacement for Neville.

I think he's the only replacement for Neville

Phil Neville?

No he will replace Gary. Phil is a bona fide Cm now

Hes the England forgotten man. He hasnt played for ages and a few years ago he was a regular.

We just have so many better players in the middle of the park

theo kawala · 11-18-2006, 01:58 PM

goldenHuddlestone · 11-19-2006, 12:47 AM

Hes what you call a utility player

A strong performance by Richards i just hope he doesnt become a Zat Knight kind of player.

goldenHuddlestone · 11-19-2006, 08:22 PM
