‘Otamendi was 'The General', now he’s Man City scapegoat’ – Richards backs Argentine defender

The former Blues star believes an experienced centre-half can rediscover his best form and says Premier League title pressure is now all on Liverpool

Nicolas Otamendi has become a “scapegoat” at Manchester City, says Micah Richards, but the Argentine is being backed to rediscover the form which previously saw him billed as ‘The General’.

The experienced centre-half has struggled for consistency throughout his time in England.

Big money was spent by City luring him away from Valencia in 2015 and the 31-year-old has taken in 175 appearances for the club.
