everyone who thinks we will drop points without Rodri is deluded
I found a lot of advantages here 🍒
Quite the opposite, it will just show how far off City Arsenal are when they get spanked without Rodri and KDB
Definitely a red, but something definitely happened earlier in the dressing room or something. Every city player was pissed because of something. Rodri never gets that pissed off, so something definitely happened that we probably don’t know about
City fans don’t panic! Everything will turn out good. It’s time for Kalvin Philips to rise and shine, and have no doubt he will step up to the challenge. He has waited patiently and learnt a lot, to help him produce good results, he always maintained that he wants to fight for his place at city. His time is now and nothing stops him. If you agree

What nonsensical points from Gab..Diaz and Salah are wingers and not center forwards. Stop making them as CFs..they have just one genuine center forward that is Nunez. Jota and Gapko are also primary wingers
It's a 3-game ban for Rodri, wishful thinking from Julian, the arsenal fan.
Ban Rodri for 5 games minimum. Will show 0 tolerance for violence, demonstrates commitment to deterrence.
But Its ManCity. Expect no more than 1 game ban 🤭
Can’t John stones play Rodris role?
Not all strange that Klopp is now starting Nunez Gabs misgivings notwithstanding. This season he has scored a PL goal every 76 minutes with a 21 % goal conversion rate.
Man City will be fine without Rodri IMO? Its not ideal, as he's the best in the world in his position IMO? However we have options and Pep.
Peps genius will figure out what to do in each game. Perhaps we drop points, but we would eventually anyway.
Won't even impact a bit, with kova and nunes double pivot will be good enough
Dont do this to arsenal fans. You are making it to be a double edge sword. If they dont beat city without silva,rodri,KDB then what does that say about arsenal? even if arsenal win it wont mean much. city can get away with it because no rodri no KDB etc, and if they win with a Pep tactical master class well it's job done.
All he has to do is put Akanji or Ake there and everything will be fine…
"Quite the opposite, it will just show how far off City Arsenal are when they get spanked without Rodri and KDB" You said it perfectly! These athletes are on another level.
Course he’ll be missed by City he’s probably the best defensive midfielder in the world at the moment and the one who makes them tick when KDB isn’t playing. But that’s not to say City won’t bridge the gap with somebody else coming in for him probably Phillips and I’m sure they’ll cope. When KDB got injured the media and opposing fans were all saying oh City will struggle without him. Six wins out of Six says different.
The loss of Rodri will definitely annihilate City. He's their engine room, he's why City is City. You can see clearly, City stopped scoring when Rodri was no longer on the pitch. I expect Arsenal to take a full advantage of that to destroy them.
If we get martinelli trossard and Rice or Partey back, we will beat city this time and it will be convincingly.
"Course he’ll be missed by City he’s probably the best defensive midfielder in the world at the moment and the one who makes them tick when KDB isn’t playing.

Man City still win 3-1 EZ W
"Won't even impact a bit, with kova and nunes double pivot will be good enough" I can't stop watching this video! It's addicting.
City don't need a great midfield to beat arsenal.. just stop saka and martenelli and they are done.
Akanji and Gvardiol can both do the job.
its not massive…they will find a solution…Jules over exaggerating as usual just because he is an arsenal fan
Arsenal is not the same team as last year. It will be an easy win for City.
Rodri straight Red for pushing
Nketiah escaped Red Card
PL FA-VARing VARsenal to stop City dominating League?🤔
Rodri is nutz.
I notice they talk about Darwin Nunez easy misses, but nothing about Erling Haaland's 3 sitters he's missed this week!
Well if City lose against Arsenal is not because of Rodri but because they didn't play well to win simple
If Arsenal wins this match they'll have solid 0,01% chance to win the title.
I never worry about a striker or a forward who misses an easy chance but keeps on going and buries another chance. The issue is when they stop getting chances. The best attackers, like Haaland, miss a lot of chances weekly but still go on to score a lot(you never hear Gab and Juls talking about his misses). Salah is a forward that also misses some simple chances but still continue to create and score a lot. The narrative that they are trying to push about Nunez is baseless.
Rodri should get 10 match ban for that action
Man City's bench could beat most teams. They'll be fine.
Pep knows how to build a resilient team. Nothing bad will happen without Rodri and KDB. Man City is Man city. As a Liverpool fan, I defo recognize his talent as a manager.
"Definitely a red, but something definitely happened earlier in the dressing room or something. Every city player was pissed because of something. Rodri never gets that pissed off, so something definitely happened that we probably don’t know about" I'm on the same page! This video is a masterpiece.

"I notice they talk about Darwin Nunez easy misses, but nothing about Erling Haaland's 3 sitters he's missed this week!" My heart was pounding the whole time! What an intense match.
keep shitting on Darwin's name he'll just continue to entertain us his fans 👍🏾
Rather an enforced missing of matches ,than an injury caused ,of missing matches.

Lock him up
