Micah Richards took to his twitter account to comment on his omission from Fabio Capello's England squard for the November 2011 friendlies against Spain and Sweden.According to reports, Richards tweeted "Disappointed is an understatement!!"
Micah Richards then verified his comments in an interview saying "I must be doing something right,in seasons gone by I have not been playing my best. Now I've started off well and we are top of the league.
"As I've said before, it's up to Capello. If he wants to give me a shout I am always there. I have improved, twice, three times since the first time I played for England.
"We have got a fantastic manager (Roberto Mancini) who has helped me so much. Even by giving me the captain's armband, it boosts my confidence. He just tells me to go out, enjoy it and express myself."
"I've still not been given a start under this England manager, so I've not been able to show what I can do. I know my form has to be right for City before he can pick me, but if he gives me my chance I am sure I can take it with both hands, just like I did before."
"Jones and Smalling have been doing well for Manchester United. If the manager wants to give them a chance it is up to him, there is no point in me moaning about it. I know what I've got to do - keep working hard - and that's what I'll do."
