Richards Vs Smalling

Just watched MoD and I will say what I have said all season, Smalling is no where near as good as Richards at fullback. The lad can't stop a cross.

Well I think Fergie doesn't trust either of the twins.
=====================

Trusted Rafael last season to be first choice RB until he got injured and trusted Fabio in the champs league final.

I'll just add that post to the other nonsensa you spout on here. Totally clueless about the club you claim to supoort.

Richards is certainly the better right back, there's no doubt about it, but I think it's unfair to compare him to Smalling as one is a right back and the other is naturally a centre back.

Richards is the best right back in the Premier League and should be England's right back for the European Championships in the summer, however it seems that he is out of favour with Capello so I don't think will be.

I would have Richards at right back and Smalling at right centre back for England because both are the best that England have for those positions.

It's not Capello's fault. Micah won't play as long as Pearce is still involved with England goes back to when he didn't want to play for the U21's.
With a bit of luck he may get a chance at the Euro's while Pearce is managing G.B. the Olympics

I'd ignore why CP says, he claims the twins fake their injuries during the game just so they can rob the clubs wages that provides for them plastic fool

Richards is by far the better rightback of the two.

Play him at CB and he'd probably be far better there too

It's a shame the samba hobbits are always injured. I doubt Smalling was bought as a right back.

Is this based on any logic or just club bias?

I think you already know the answer.

I agree the comparison is unfair, but I can see where the debate could arise, due to the fact Capello has decided Micah is a worse option than Walker, Johnson, Jones or Smalling in that position.

Not Smalling's fault. Its Capello's.

Not true. He has played at CB and was a bit of a liability. Positional sense wasn't up to it. He is far better at RB as it suits his strengths.
