But you are mentioning backup meaning you're not good enough. He's backing up the England RB, you honestly don't think he could be starting at RB for half the teams in the league? In fact many of us argue he could be starting over Johnson who had one of his better seasons(once healed), so that in itself from those who watch every game instead of the uneducated who go off league positions as quality of player, something I find funny from a fan of a club who has bought so deep any hack could look good making up the numbers, Kelly meanwhile has looked good when he's been called on in a team you like to remind us is ordinary. I imagine under the new manager Kelly will be starting one way or the other.
Looks like one title has already given you Barca fan syndrome. If you're offended over Richards not getting a gig, I agree he's been incredibly unlucky but seems silly to downplay Kelly's ability over it. Pretty petty.
*edit* Just to add. Given how well he played I would of at least trialed playing Johnson on the right wing and starting Kelly at RB. Given we were starting Downing and Bellamy(to put downer on the left so he could stink up there) at times, Johnson couldn't of been any worse.
