MICAH RICHARDS has risked upsetting some of his workmates by revealing who he thinks is the best pundit on television.
The former Manchester City star switched the pitch for the studio in 2019 and has since become a much-loved face on screens.
Richards, 35, has worked with several pundits on BBC’s Match of the Day, Sky Sports while covering the Premier League and on CBS Sports as part of the Champions League team.
He has shared the studio with the likes of Gary Neville, Roy Keane, Graeme Souness, Alan Shearer, Danny Murphy, Ian Wright and Thierry Henry.
But Richards is convinced that Jamie Carragher is better than them all.
While discussing CBS Sports’ popular banter-filled style of Champions League coverage, he told The Athletic: “We have got Carragher, the No1 pundit in England.”

Richards said: “He has to sort of be a different Jamie on our show to make the show work.”
Carragher’s recent analysis of Manchester United hit the headlines as he slammed Erik ten Hag’s tactical set-up as his side lost to Fulham 2-1.
The Liverpool legend spotted issues with the team just 20 seconds into the game.
