Micah Richards claims City players are knackered

Manchester City defender Micah Richards has claimed the club’s good early season form has started to wear off because the players are so tired. The England international says he and his team-mates are ready to put their feet up after 13 games this season. He said:

“I think what’s killing us at the moment is the fact that there are a lot of games and people are starting to get tired already. That’s the whole point of having a big squad though. We’re starting to build that and hopefully we’ll be all right.”

We have heard Arsene Wenger’s emotional pleas for a mid-winter skiing holiday break, but an early-autumn break is a new one as far as The Spoiler is concerned!
